G Phaad Ke( Happy Ending)
Sachin-Jigar manage to school listeners in ' upbeat '. Its not really the best rhythm that ' s been created this year, but it managed to get Govinda dancing on the big screen again, so you know it gets something right. Imagine that you ' re unwinding after a long week with a drink at a club- this is probably what you ' ll be dancing to.
Shreya Bose
Love is a Waste of Time( PK)
Keeda( Action Jackson)
Ajay Devgan dances to Himesh Reshammiya who is not using his signature tonal bend( so that ' s something new). Otherwise, it seems pretty uninspired. The music is flat and clunky, and the vocals could probably do better if the words were something that you hadn ' t heard a million times before.
Saanson Ko( Zid)
Not a month goes by when Arijit Singh doesn ' t elevate our souls with something utterly, humanly moving. The liquid crustal of his vocal chords mingle with the heady composition of Sharib-Toshi to recreate the intensities of passion, perhaps lingering on obsession. Either way, this is something you can drown yourself into any time you feel the need to connect with the depths of your sentimental spectrum.
Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal bring you some of the best music you ' re going to find this year. This one is an endlessly adorable, romantic but not cloying, cute but not sappy. Its almost like a child ' s rhyme, awash in a rare innocent thematic leaning. Definitely in line with the film ' s unusual trajectory.
Tevar( Superman)
Plenty of self-glorification on part of the ' Superman ' in the song, but it looks like a young Salman Khan is in town in the form of Arun Kapoor. He ' s all about the stylised asskicking, and this song provides the perfect background score for that. The music is pretty catchy, something you ' ll want to listen to again because you ' re probably pumping or fists or doing the ' tapori ' moves.
