My Name is Khan
Johar sufi pop
Delhi 6
AR Rahman does urban. Nuff said.
Umrao Jaan
Sweet + lush classical court-style
music -if it doesn't hypnotise you, it might put you to
sleep.
Dhoom 2
Testosterone-fuelled bollypop mark 2,
this time infused with arabic pop riffs.
Don
The remakes disappoint: techno sounds designed to drag Don
into the present are uninspired. Buy it for the retro-electro
beats of Aaj ki Raat instead.
Omkara
An evocative album, sometimes earthy, sometimes classical. Music to
transport you to the heartland of India.
Rang de Basanti
Eclectic AR Rahman album. Guitar pop,
arabic accents and powerful bhangra title track.
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna
Kal Ho Na Ho: the musical sequel. But
Shafqat Amanat Ali delights on the Sufi-inspired Mitwa.
Fanaa
Kashmir-inspired collection of tunes,
lovely title track.

Bunty aur Bubli
Funky + energetic fusion from Shankar
Ehsaan + Loy. Features the best bolly song of 2005: Kajra Re.

Hum
Tum
Laid back bolly with a bit of Britasian
input on the title track. Buy it for the infectious Gore Gore..
Lucky
A melodious + slickly-produced bunch of
songs from the wonderful tunesmith Adnan Sami.
Kaal
Qawaali anthemic rock, with irony-free
cover of the 80s hit: Eye of the Tiger.
Masti
The fun soundtrack to the blokesy
film.
Dhoom
Testosterone-fuelled bolly poprock
-spawning many sound-a-likes.
Veer-Zaara
Lush arrangements from the long-dead
composer Madan Mohan. With fabulous extra cd of original source
material.
Paheli
Rajasthani folk meets Hindustani
classical. Rhythmic and rather nice with one absolute cracker of a
track: Khaali hai Tere Bina.

Meenaxi
Ethereal, enigmatic, brilliant. AR
Rahman shines here.

Main Hoon Na
Pastichey tribute to one of Bollywood's
greatest, RD Burman. With one good qawaali thrown in for good
measure.
Kal
Ho Naa Ho
Fresh bolly fusion that borders on
Hinglish pop, from Shankar Ehsaan + Loy. Fun reworking of Orbison's
Pretty Woman with bhangra licks.
Swades
AR Rahman's latest: a slow burner that
sometimes echoes the folksy Lagaan. But, you'll get burned all the
same. Wah!
Devdas
Classical-based music by Ismail Darbar.
Out of this world.
Saathiya
Brilliant offering from AR Rahman -with
a southern flavour. Rahmantastic! Warning: highly
addictive!
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham
Every song has a great hook-very
addictive. Will have you singing. A great first time Bolly
buy.
Lagaan
Fabulous folk-influenced music from
that uber talent, AR Rahman.
Dilwale Dhulaniya Le Jayenge
A classic collection of songs with a
punjabi flavour- from the longest running film in Mumbai (it's
still going!)
Dil
Se
Probably the best music ever. You just
have to get this. Too fabulous to describe. AR Rahman.
One
2 Ka 4
Another from AR Rahman - excellent
melodies + funky bass.
Dil to Pagal Hai
Upbeat soundtrack of the smash hit
film.
Raja
Hindustani
Music with soul -without the slick
production of eg. Devdas. Fantastic hooks, brilliant singing. A
favourite
Taal
Beautiful + rhythmic. AR
Rahman.
Zubeidaa
Another AR Rahman soundtrack with
singing from the queen of Bollywood, Lata Mangeshkar.
Asoka
Engaging soundtrack with a hint of the
far east. Some beautiful lyrics.
Dil Chahta Hai
Great east-west fusion from new guys: Shankar, Ehsaan + Loy. Future
contenders for Rahman's crown?!
Mohabbatein
A classic soundtrack recognisably from the Yash Chopra stable. Lots
of big juicy dhol-driven songs. Compulsive.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Exuberant + youthful
-every song a winner, what more can I
say?
Hum Dil De Chuke
Sanam
Outstanding title track + Dholi Taro
Dhol Baaje.
