Taniskh Bagchi has changed the face of Bollywood music by focusing his work on finding new ways to present old tunes. This is in some cases very successful as it brings to light an old song in a way that audiences back then hadn’t thought about it and where it fails, at worst it brings good memories of some classic old song. Like Taniskh, Jawaani Jaaneman is a film doing old things in a new and fresh way. This comedy film seems to be a take on Mamma Mia and similar films and having a fresh face in Alaya F being around well-established actors Saif and Tabu does this. Taniskh as music director finds a way to bring back some old and make it new too.

Between the Mughals and the British Raj came the great Maratha empire, where the Maratha kings spread far and wide through India, trying to bring together peoples of a disparate land. Ajay Devgn’s new film Tanhaji is based on Tanhaji Malusare, a military chieftain under the Maratha King Shivaji. As thus a period piece, but also one that doesn’t involve a lot of dancers, the music must perform as backdrop to what is a riveting tale of war and spirit. Four songs have been given by 3 music directors Ajay-Atul, Mehul Vyas and Sachet-Parampara to make for a powerful 16-minute album.
In the track Shakara Re Shankara the backing dancers cry out “Shakara Re Shankara” in what is both item song and powerful tactical chess move rolled into one. From a story point of view, this is a critical moment with protagonist and antagonist facing off for the first time.

Another 12 months passed, another seemingly thousands of Bollywood songs having passed our ears. 2019 has been the year of the remake, a combination of Punjabi pop making it big in Bollywood, some obvious versions of some lesser known classics and a few that took an old song to new heights. So much so has this been the case, that even when trying to narrow down to the top 20 songs of the year, it was impossible to leave them out altogether… but some were magnificent enough to make the cut. As for musical styles, there’s no lack of range in genres, from very slow love ballads, all the way to hardcore freestyle rap and plenty in between. Some are for dancing, some are for listening, some are for holding close, some are for letting go; some drive on, while some find peace exactly where they are. As usual, Bollywood’s 2019 has...

Manmariziyaan refers to the instinctual belief that the heart does whatever it wants. The new film starring Abhisekh Bachchan, Vicky Kaushal and Tapsee Pannu follows this instinctual belief from its beginning to its hopefully happy end. Even though the story is Punjabi and is set in Punjab with involving Punjabi characters, it gives a modern look at romance, love and lust; themes that will resonate across the world as Tapsee makes the tough choice between the wild Vicky and the arranged marriage with Abhisekh. Releasing 14th September, the film is produced by Phantom films and Yellow productions, who have called upon Amit Trivedi to give the audience a 11-track Punjabi musical extravaganza.

2016’s Happy Bhag Jayegi was a very successful romantic comedy about Harpreet Kaur (played by Diana Penty) who ran away from her wedding with Daman Singh Bagga (Jimmy Shergill) to find herself in Lahore taken in by Bilal Ahmed (Abhay Deol). In 2018 Happy is back, but this time with Sonakshi Sinha in the lead role in Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi. Set in China this time, there’s bound to be plenty of machismo, the girl coming out on top, some great one-liners and a strong Punjabi vibe. Sohail Sen has been asked to pen the score for this album, so it will be interesting to see how musically he brings Punjab to China.

On the 11th of May, Dharma productions comes together with Junglee pictures to present Raazi, starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. Based upon the book “Calling Sehmat” by Harinder Sikka, it is a true story of the journey of an ordinary Indian girl, in extraordinary circumstances.
Meghna Gulzar takes the director’s chair and to do the story justice lyrics are by her father (the legend himself) Gulzar and the music is provided by a well-experienced group in Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy. The album itself is fully contextual as these legends have always made the story their base point.
As the title song, Raazi is required to give an essence of power, mystery and the sound of a journeyman (or woman in this case). Gulzar gives the powerful tagline “Laga de dao par dil, agar dil raazi hai” in a way he has done so many times...

Soni says “I can’t tell you how excited I was to get this opportunity. At the time, I knew that Alia was in talks with Meghna too, but I didn’t exactly know for what.
“Alia takes her work quite seriously and we have to pester her to get things out of her. We both have been waiting to work with each other for a long time now and I didn’t really care how big the role was.”
Raazi directed by Meghna Gulzar is an adaptation of Harinder Sikka’s novel Calling Sehmat and depicts the journey of an ordinary Indian girl, under extraordinary circumstances.

Once upon a time you might’ve been forgiven for not knowing Harshdeep Kaur. Having worked as a playback singer on famous Bollywood songs, you’d have recognised the voice but not the face. However, since winning two talent reality shows and appearing in all four seasons of Coke Studio in India, she is recognisable in her own right these days. Arguably, she’s the most popular Sufi and Punjabi folk artist in Bollywood. Excitingly that success has gone on to fuel Harshdeep’s first solo tour of the UK and what a treat for those lucky enough to be at the Barbican Centre in London on 27th March.

Hichki is the new heart-warming tale from Yash Raj Films starring Rani Mukherji. Like recent trends in Bollywood, it focuses on the educator and student alliance that has led to powerful films like Saala Khadoos, Sultan and Dangal. In each of its predecessors both student and teacher strive to reach redemption and at the same time complete the impossible. Owing to their action angle, they have been heavy on powerful tunes which have inspired audiences. However, Hichki does not come with a built-in action angle and so Jasleen Royal is asked to give its quirky story a thought-provoking soundtrack.
The soundtrack begins with the feel good Oye Hichki. A fun and light modern Punjabi tune sung by Harshdeep Kaur, the track gets you moving to its easy beat. Even though the lyrics are in Punjabi they have little effect for the listener thus fading into irrelevance. The endless positivity, reflected...

We have your first song from Rani Mukerji’s Hichki – ‘Oye Hichki’. A very catchy song, it also has a very inspiring mesage – the video sees Rani call out the prevalent social Hichkis like preference for fair skin, looking down at people with disabilities, girls not having the right to choose their life partners, play sports and more etc. This video highlights the different types of discriminations prevalent in our society today and song urges everyone to identify them and overcome them, one discrimination at a time. Celebrate the Hichkis!
What is really cool is that Rani launched the song at her school Maneckji Cooper this afternoon.
Rani plays the character of Naina Mathur who has a nervous system disorder, Tourette Syndrome that forces an individual to make involuntary repetitive movements or sounds. Hichki focuses on turning disadvantages into opportunities and staring down at challenges that life throws at one and ultimately winning over them.

‘Jalte Diye’ is one of the most beautiful songs from the Prdp album, and Rajshri productions have released a special video showcasing the making of this melodious song.
The song has been composed by multi-talented Himesh Reshammiya (who shares his experience of composing the song in the video) and has been sung by Harshdeep Kaur (opening lines), Anweshaa Dutta, Vineet Singh and Shadab Sabri (closing lines).
According to a recent interview with radioandmusic.com, singer Anweshaa shared her experience of recording the song: “I was recording for the film ‘Kaanchi: The Unbreakable’ when Irshadji heard my voice and he recommended me to Himesh sir. I have known Himesh Sir for a while now as I previously worked with him on the film ‘Dangerous Ishhq’,” said Anweshaa. She revealed that the song took about two hours to record as Reshammiya was composing the track simultaneously.”
