Talented   film makers, Dibakar Banerjee, Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar and Karan Johar, join hands to make the memorabilia for Bollywood’s centenary years  

A combination of four tracks, the film has good music not quite chart busters but nit bad!

The title track of the film is remarkably different from the rest of the songs. It is loud and colorful, and uses heavy instruments to back the song’s feel. Sung by Kailash Kher and Richa Sharma, the song is quite extravagant!

Murabba –  This song gives you a strong feeling that you have heard it before.  Kavita Seth’s praiseworthy, calm voice blended at right places with correct instruments is wonderful. There is good use of guitar as well as violin.


Akkad Bakkad  - Mohit Chauhan has attacked the arena of mainstream commercial music with A.R Rahman’s Rockstar first.   A blend song encapsulating all stories, the music in this one itself is a mystical blend of ethnic and modern. Using shehnai and guitars in the same music strip, has worked well to make this track stand out.  

Give it up for Bachchan –  A tribute to Bollywood’s Shehanshah Amitabh Bachchan can never be taken lightly. Music wise, the song is limited. In terms of music, Sukhwinder Singh’s peppy voice and Big B’s heavy name is all there’s to look for in it. This one will work for its catchy lyrics. This one is the anthem for Big B followers,  

A fun album that is a nice tribute to Bollywood.
