Source: Google News India - Entertainment | 8 Sep 2008 | 8:32 am Top Ten albums of the weekRank Last week Film Plusses Minuses 1 2 Rock On Now this one was pretty much on the cards the moment 'Rock On' went on to make a huge impression on it's theatrical release. The music, which proved to be the backbone of the film, was much appreciated from most corners which meant that audio sales saw an escalation as well. At #1 spot, 'Rock On' is now all set to have a good stay at the top. None. The music has introduced a new genre in Bollywood and succeeded well. 2 1 Bachna Ae Haseeno The movie has done well at the box office and so has the music. Each of the songs by Vishal-Shekhar did find an audience for itself and if not for 'Rock On' showing a sudden splurge, 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' may have stayed on at the top for even longer. Nevertheless, the album is second success in a row for YRF & Vishal-Shekhar after 'Tashan'. None 3 3 Singh Is Kinng Even as the film makes way for newer releases (with 'Rock On', 'Phoonk' and 'A Wednesday' throwing a pleasant surprise), the music is continuing to sell well. However, since most of the market for the album has been exhausted over the weeks gone by, this soundtrack of Pritam should be seeing a decline from here on, the moment newer albums arrive on stands. None 4 4 Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa Showing no signs of dying down, JTYJN is surprising consistent in Top-5. 'Aditi' continues to be the pick of the lot, something which all top composers from Bollywood also agree to. All eyes are now set on A.R. Rahman's next 'Yuvvraaj' which would release next. None 5 5 Karzzzz The album arrived on the stands with a bang and has been doing consistently well ever since then to retain it's Top-5 slot. The week gone by has seen two more songs added to the film's promotion - 'Soniye' and 'Dhoom'. There have been detractors and there would be detractors for Himesh Reshammiya. No wonder, even without listening to the album, there are a few who are already in judgmental mode for 'Karzzzz'! 6 6 Kismat Konnection 'Kismat Konnection' is out of theaters and so should the music too in a few weeks from now. Soundtracks of 'Kidnap', 'Fashion', 'Heroes' and 'Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi' have hit the stands and one hopes that at least some of them make a good enough impression. It is lack of competition which has allowed 'Kismat Konnection' to stay on for so long even as the film is off the screens 7 7 Jannat Bhatts are almost ready with 'Raaz - The Mystery Continues' and have also announced their next musical - 'Jashn'. Though both films are touted to boast of chartbuster music yet again, as is the tradition with films coming from Bhatts, 'Jannat' isn't refusing to move out of the charts. None 8 8 Race TIPS, UTV and Pritam are enjoying their outing with the music of 'Race' as well as 'Kismat Konnection' doing well even today. One looks forward to what the trio has to offer in months to come.

Source: Google News India - Entertainment | 8 Sep 2008 | 8:13 am Re-reviewing the music of 'Rock On!!'Now this one is unprecedented. Never before (yes, actually never before) have I got such a strong instinct of revisiting a review/article/analysis done by me a few weeks or months back. There have been hits and misses but just like the filmmakers, I have moved on as well. However, in case of Rock On, it was different. In fact very different. The moment I saw the film and clapped along with 300 odd other people in the packed auditorium and a smartly placed caption came on screen ('Buy Original CDs. Don't Download' - am I putting it right Farhan?), I knew that the music of Rock On had indeed arrived. 'Now that's the confidence of the makers; they know that patrons would want to pick up the film's audio the moment they step out of the auditorium' - I said to myself. So why am I writing this piece? What is it actually all about? Well, a few weeks back when the music of Rock On was played to me for the first time ever, I dismissed it right away (ok, so I am embarrassed now but then the fact is - I truly, rightly and wisely dismissed it!). No I am not a 50 year old grandfather, as some wanted to believe the moment they read my music review out here. Some said - 'This guy is stuck in the music of 80s and the 90s, he doesn't quite have the sensibilities of reviewing a new-age album like Rock On'. Well, just for all to know, I am a 'normal' (whatever that means) 30 something guy who did love the music of Lifeâ¦In A Metro (wasn't it new age as well?). Of course it was softer but then hey, this piece is not at all about me justifying the reasons behind Rock On not quite appealing to me in the first few listening. And that's exactly the reason I was truly stunned when I saw these very tracks gel into the narrative so well! Did I just say 'jell into the narrative'? Now now now, it wasn't just about 'jelling into the narrative'; it was actually about 'being the narrative' itself! In fact it won't be wrong to state that if Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Javed Akhtar wouldn't have created the soundtrack of Rock On, it wouldn't have been the movie it is today. And this is where the strength of the music lies. Going truly by the genre of the movie and elevating the mood created by the situations and the characters, the music works and how! In fact I remember how producer Ritesh Sidhwani messaged stating he wasn't quite bothered with the poor review. He was confident about the music and was more than 100% sure that it would work, as had the music of his earlier films. 'Errr, he is being a little too overconfident', I said to myself. How can he really be sure that a number like 'Sindbad The Sailor' would make the audience go 'jhoom' while they would actually be interested in hearing something to the tune of 'Pichle Saat Dinon Mein'? "But it would have been good had you actually given it some more time; the music grows on you", remarked Shankar Mahadevan in his characteristic sweet manner. Well, the review was already out by then, I had moved on to other assignments and even though I did give Rock On a few more listening in days to follow, the moment 'Zehreeley' used to come, I tended to feel a lot repulsive. Well, this is where the team of Rock On actually succeeded (as I realize now) because 'Zehreeley' is 'meant' to be repulsive (The number is performed by the rival band and is meant to invoke hatred and a sense of over confidence). Thankfully (I mean it), I wasn't turned off by soft numbers like 'Tum Ho Toh', 'Ye Tumhari Meri Baatein' and 'Phir Dekhiye' when I heard them first. Last I checked, after watching the film, I was humming at least the first two tracks all the way to home. The numbers worked well in getting that 'thehrav' in the story and how! So what am I trying to achieve putting this piece together? Nothing actually! It is primarily a reflection of my mind as I sunk myself into my chair the moment end credits started rolling. The concert look and feel during the film's climax actually had a 'magical effect' (no, this hasn't been said just for the effect) which actually transported me to a setting with a live performance around me. It was the moment where I missed my dancing shoes the most and wanted to cry out loud along with the rest of crowd around me. It was that euphoric moment where I actually wanted to scream hard - ROCK ON!!!Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 8 Sep 2008 | 7:52 am Couture rides into Mumbai - Times of India
