Pankaj Udhas earned his first accolade as a singer when he was 11 years old. He sang the patriotic song ‘Ae mere watan ke logon’ at a public event in his hometown Rajkot when the Sino-Indian War was raging in 1962, and he so impressed a member of the audience that he gifted the young singer what was then a princely sum of Rs 51.
Udhas, who passed into eternity on Monday, February 26, at the age of 72, however, had not planned to become a singer. He was training to play the tabla at the Sangeet Natya Academy in Rajkot, where he had been enrolled along with his brothers by his father, Keshubhai Udhas, a government official who had learnt to play the dilruba from Ustad Abdul Karim Khan.
Seeing his father play his favourite dilruba in his spare time inspired Udhas to pursue music seriously. His elder brothers, Manhar and Nirmal Udhas, also...

Singer Esha Gaur is making her debut with Krishna Bhatt’s ‘1920 Horrors of the Heart’ as a playback singer. The film’s teaser launched recently with a hauntingly melodious and soothing lori.
Speaking about it, Esha says, ”This is a special debut and I am going to cherish this forever. We all know the huge contribution from Bhatt Productions in Hindi mainstream movies, especially in 90’s films like Aashiqui, Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee or Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke – the list is endless.”
She further says, “People were engrossed in the sweet melodies sung by all the stalwarts like Kumar Shanu, Alka Yagnik, Sadhna Sargam, Abhijeet.

2019 has taken the remake trend of 2018 and pushed the dial to 11. We’ve seen straight rips of some classic old songs and some very good bits of reworking and modernising efforts from the new generation of music directors. We can look at how Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga not only reminded us of Anil Kapoor bouncing around on his bed and in his old car but also brought the reality of Sonam Kapoor’s role in the new film into focus. At the other end of the scale there’s been a lot of reworking done for Punjabi pop performers, with several being invited to redo their songs with some of Bollywood’s best.
In all cases what any remake does do well is to give listeners both new and old a chance to either reminisce or get to know a song that may be from a previous...

Ranvir Shorey while being a celebrated actor has also had his fair share of reality television, his close proximity to the participants of reality television, apparently, compelled him to sign up for his latest film Blue Mountain.
“It is a rather myopic view if people think reality television is only what they see on the television. What we see is the journey of the winners, the journey of the kids who have done well and succeeded, but there are thousands of those who participate and don’t win. It is their crushed dreams that compelled me to sign Blue Mountain. A film about a journey of a small town boy into the world of reality television. It is not easy being those kids, and with the film I took that journey with them. It is this side of reality television that needs to be showcased. When I read the script,...

Dum Laga Ke Haisha is the latest offering from Yash Raj Films starring Ayushmann Khurrana (Vicky Donor) and debutante Bhumi Pednekar. It also marks Sharat Katariya (of Bheja Fry fame) changing gears from writer to director.
It film features music by Anu Malik (Main Hoon Na), composing after almost two years, his last being Shootout at Wadala. Lyrics have been penned by Varun Grover while vocal talents featured consist of Monali Thakur (‘Sawar Loon’ – Lootera), Papon (‘Tu’ – Bobby Jasoos) and Kumar Sanu (no introduction needed).
The album gets off to a stunner of a start with Moh Moh Ke Dhaage by Papon. The track is very reminiscent of Anu Malik’s more nuanced work in Asoka and Refugee. The orchestration is beautiful as is the haunting melody. Couple with equally beautiful lyrics and a flawless rendition from Papon, the track is any easy winner. ‘Moh Moh Ke Dhaage’ is repeated...

Himesh Reshammiya has a tendency to divide listeners into the love him or hate him camp with that distinctive voice of his – so if you already know you’re not a big fan of Himesh and his characteristic nasal delivery, you might be wise to steer clear of the super-sized Damadamm soundtrack, since Himesh provides vocals for every one of the 15 tracks (9 originals, 5 remixes and a “promo video track”) on the epic album.
Luckily, I love Himesh, and I even love him when he goes fully nasal, so 15 tracks? No Problem!
Opener Damadamm starts out like a traditional Sufi qawali… for about 2 seconds, until a deliciously addictive disco beat kicks in and the tune is transformed into an infectiously upbeat disco-qawali. With a veritable truckload of vocalists: Punnu Brar, Palak Muchhal, Shabab Sabri, Alam Gir Khan, Sabina Shaikh, Himesh Reshammiya, Vineet Singh and Rubina Shaikh – all contributing, the song has a likeable,...
