Parineeta music mesmerizing!
Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s films are known for its music. 1942 A love Story (RD Burman), Kareeb (Anu Malik?), Mission Kashmir (Shakhar Ehsaan Roy) had extraordinary music. His latest film based on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyaya’s classic bengali novel Parineeta, simply rocks! Listen to it at Raaga.com.
Sonu Nigam croons, lulls, mesmerizes and Shreya Ghosal transports you 2 feet off ground. Perfect rhythm and lullaby from first time composer Shantanu Moitra - as promising as Ismail Darbar on his debut Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam - future looks very bright for him as long as he keeps his higher standards. Listen to the song Kasisi Paheli Zindgani a titlating number where he takes AR Rehman’s Hello Mr.Edhirkatchi (Iruvar - Tamil) head on, and even manages to upstage it thanks to Sunidhi Chuahan’s sexy rendition.
Worth every kb in gold.
This is the second time in as many years that a Bimal Roy - Sarat Chandra film have been remade, the first was Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas, and now this -
Was talked into hearing it, rave reviews from a friend. Lyrics are interesting, good writer of course, but the melodies are very monotonous across the album. I find most recent stuff being dished out of Bollywood gratuitously dramatic. But you may disagree, you ‘every kb worth in gold’ man!
Did u listen to PAHELI ? a couple of good songs there - I loved MM Kareem’s JISM - but this one is not as good as that.
Hello, I’m a first time visitor to your blog. Not sure if you already know.. Kaise paheli zindagini is a direct lift off from A Kiss To Build A Dream On by Louis Armstrong

Hi manu - thanks for pointing it out. yes it does seem to be a direct lift!
I love the Paheli Soundtrack. I love the entire CD. My faves are probably Dheere Jalna, Laaga Re Jal Laaga, and Phir Raat Kati.
The Bunty Aur Babli soundtrack is also really good. My favorites are the title song, Kajra Re, and Dhadak Dhadak.
