Kaminey - Music Review

One of the best albums of 2009, right on top with Dev D and Delhi 6. It's so good to hear some good music again, the kind which isn't made to simply be used as an item song or a 'phooljhadi hit' like the title track of a movie which was trying so hard to do a repeat of Hare Ram that they used a Hindu shloka as part of the song!

Kaminey has some great songs by Vishal Bharadwaj.

The best tracks of the album are:

1. Dhan Te Nan - I especially like the remix version, which accentuates the beats. It's an absolute dance scorcher, which I am sure will be played in all discos and parties.

2. Fatak - Grows on you after repeated listening and then you just love it.

3. Go Charlie Go - Brilliant haunting theme sound!

4. Raat Ke Dhai Baje - The entire song is just ok, until the third minute, when it takes a different direction and sounds really good.

5. Pehli Baar Mohabbat - Insanely awesome melody, sung by Mohit Chouhan who does it only like he can.

6. Kaminey - The song is simply amazing!

So in my view, the best songs of this movie are Go Charlie Go, Kaminey, Pehli Baar Mohabbat and Dhan Te Nan. Go listen to this album. I hope the movie is just as good as the music. Kudos to you Vishal Baradwaj!

P.S. - Listening to these songs in my brand new headphones just raises the bar a notch higher :)
