Band Baaja Baarat
When it is a Yash Raj Film soundtrack and that too with a title like Band Baaja Baarat, then obviously it is time for Bhangra and marriage-songs! So following that dictum, the album features some robust rhythmic Bhangra-pop numbers like Ainvay Ainvay... |

Shreya Ghoshal’s nicely rendered romantic tracks O Bekhabar and Baaki Main Bhool Gayi stand out amongst Pritam’s tunes for this Vipul Shah’s back-to-70s comic film soundtrack. Daler Mehdi’s Jor Ka Jhatka may have proved po... |

Dabangg
Behind a successful Hindi film is usually a successful soundtrack and Sajid-Wajid’s music in this superhit Salman Khan-film proves that rule. Going with the film’s Uttar Pradesh-based story-line, the music uses UP-folk-style to great ef... |

Khatta Meetha
Kunal Ganjawalla's spiritedly rendered Hip Hop-styled, Marathi-tinged Nanachi Taang has already become a huge chart-buster but otherwise Pritam's music is pretty average in this soundtrack. KK- Sunidhi Chauhan's romantic duet Sajde, Daler Mehdi â... |

Paathshala
Hanif Shaikh's heavily rock-influenced music does come up with some interesting tunes in this album. Salim Merchant's Aye Khuda Mujhko Bata and Kailash Kher's Teri Marzi are two excellent mellow contemplative numbers. Lucky Ali's piercing Beqarar... |

Na Ghar Ke Na Ghat Ke
Soundtrack of this off-beat comedy brings back Lalit Pandit (of the erstwhile Jatin- Lalit pair) as a composer and he does a fair job. Remo Fernandes renders the breezy title-song Na Ghaar ke Na Ghaat Ke with his typical gusto and later the same song... |

Kites
The Roshan- trio (Rakesh, Rajesh and Hrithik) have proved to be a winning combination in Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, Koi Mil Gaya and Kkrish, But in Kites, their musical chemistry fails to sizzle. It is an album that seems to be too introspective and too mell... |
