5.Tera Naam Doon
Movie: It’s Entertainment; Music: Sachin-Jigar;
Lyrics: Ashish Pandit, Mayur Puri, Priya Panchal;
Singers: Atif Aslam and Shalmali Kholgade
This is a beautiful romantic number. The rhythm is nicely paced with Atif Aslam’s vocal range nicely showcased. It’s love at first note.
4. Saturday Saturday
Movie: Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania; Music: The Titans, Badshah; Lyrics: Indeep Bakshi, Badshah; Singers: Indeep Bakshi, Badshah, Akriti Kakkar
Karan Johar’s latest venture promises and delivers an electrifying soundtrack. Once you hear the song, you will be humming the refrain, too. It’s techno heavy, but the melody is easy to sing and dance along to.
3.Tu Hi Toh Hai
Movie: Holiday; Music: Pritam;
Lyrics: Irshad Kamil; Singer: Benny Dayal
A brilliant romantic song with a catchy tune, definitely a signature Pritam number. This song picturized on Sonakshi Sinha and Akshay Kumar, flows from romantic to peppy. There are two versions sung by Kunal Ganjawala and Benny Dayal, both equally good.
2. Caller Tune
Movie: Humshakals; Music: Himesh Reshammiya;
Lyrics: Sameer Anjaan; Singers: Neeraj Shridhar, Neeti Mohan
“Caller Tune” is is another one of those numbers that will outlast the movie. It has a playful feel to it and when Neeti Mohan hits the lower registers, it really caught my attention.
1. Jumme Ki Raat
Movie: Kick; Music: Himesh Reshammiya; Lyrics: Kumaar, Shabbir Ahmed; Singers: Mika Singh, Palak Muchhal
With the combination of Mika Singh’s vocals and Salman Khan’s matched steps on screen this song delivers. It is one of those underground songs, perfectly combining grunge and groove.
