Last Friday saw the release of Vishal Bhardwaj's Pankaj, Shabana, Imran and Anushka starrer Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola. Unfortunately the film saw a dull start and could not impro...

After months of deliberation and stiff competition, Zee TV's singing reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa has finally got its Top 5 contestants. They are Jasraj Joshi, Vishwajeet Borwankar, Shenaz, Jazim Sharma and Mohd Aman. On this occasion, the team of Inkaar, Arjun Rampal, Chitraganda Singh and director Sudhir Mishra came to cheer up the contestants and wish them luck for the grand finale. All the boys on the floor were totally smitten by dusky beauty Chitrangada Singh. She look...

It is arguable that Suddhir Mishra’s Inkaar may not have scope for music, but over the years situational tracks for non-musical features have proven to be musically appealing, the likes of Shor in the City and Shanghai being proof of it. Therefore, Inkaar cannot be readily dismissed.

The musical-lyrical duo of Shantanu Moitra and Swanand Kirkire (3 Idiots, Parineeta and Munna Bhai series) are at the helm of Inkaar. The soundtrack compromises of five tracks and features the musical talents of Suraj Jaggan (‘Sadka Kiya’ – I Hate Luv Storys and ‘Afatoon Ke Parindey’ – Ishaqzaade), Swanadand Kirkire amongst others.

The album commences with Darmiyaan, a pseudo-sufi sung by Swanand Kirikire. Its beginning suggests a sufi/rock fusion and therefore once anticipates a promising start to the album but ‘Darmiyaan’ falters. Lyrically, the track is sound but vocally and musically it favours the unremarkable. Kirikire’s performance, arguably intended to be raw...

With close to three million views on Youtube in just five days, ‘Chikni Chameli’, the Bollywood tadka rendered by Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif for Dharma Productions Agneepath, is already creating waves across the industry. The actress has spread her sizzling magic again – ‘Chikni Chameli’ has become the Number One song on radio in the major markets in India, Number 1 on Nokia Ovi Store, No 1 on online streaming sites like Saavn.com and Gaana.com, No 2 in the charts of India’s biggest retail music store chain – Planet M. As Chikni Chameli in Agneepath‘s item song, Katrina has proved that she is capable of championing jhatkas and thumkas to pacy beats. Composers Ajay-Atul are delighted to have recreated ‘Chikni Chameli’ which has been adapted from the Marathi hit ‘Kombdi Padali’. ‘Chikni Chameli’ is all set to be this party season’s dance anthem worldwide.

Agneepath is the much awaited, contemporary blockbuster remake starring Hrithik Roshan,...

The Roshans take both family and film making very seriously. Brothers Rakesh and Rajesh Roshan have worked together since the 1970s, Rajesh's musical talents providing the soundtrack for hits from Inkaar (1977) to Krrish (2006). Rakesh's son Hrithik joined the family business with Kaho Na Pyaar Hai (2000) and the rest is history. The brothers sat down at a roundtable discussion to talk about Kites and Bollyspice was there to capture it for you! Rakesh is still movie star handsome at 60 years old and his piercing hazel eyes reveal a mind constantly at work. You don't get ahead in Bollywood by being unsure of yourself and Rakesh is supremely confident in his choices and is unafraid to share his opinions. Soft-spoken Rajesh, on the other hand, is the yin to Rakesh's yang. The music director is mostly content to let his brother answer the questions, unless the topic ventures into the state of Bollywood music.
