Mother’s have been an important part of Hindi cinema. Over the years, the portrayal of mothers in Bollywood has been changing. Mothers are given much more importance in cinema than just being a character actor who has to nod to everything the husband or the child says. 

On the occasion of Mother’s Day, here’s looking at some of the most popular on-screen mothers. 

Rakhee 

Her dialogue “Mere Karan Arjun aayenge'' is not something that one will forget anytime soon. She played mother to actors Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in the hit film Karan Arjun. While Rakhee has played varied roles in her illustrious career spanning over 50 years, when it came to being a mother onscreen she has been seen as a woman of principles including in films like Baazigar, Ram Lakhan, Soldier, Khalnayak and others. 

Farida Jalal 

Farida Jalal too has been part of the industry for almost fifty years and continues to impress people with her charm. While the actress has played different kinds of roles, her motherly onscreen figure is the one most remembered by people. From being Shah Rukh Khan’s mother in Duplicate to Kajol’s in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge, she is the kind of mother who is always ready to make sacrifices for her child. She is also popular for the savage yet emotional grandmother of Jiya from the television series Shararat. 

Kirron Kher

She is often cast as the loud Punjabi mother with a soft heart always caring and worrying about her child. From Dostana, to Hum Tum to Singh is King to Om Shanti Om she was the mother who could also make you laugh with her snarky comments. While she started her career in film in 1983, most of her hit films including Main Hoon Na and Rang De Basanti see her play the role of a mother. 

Reema Lagoo

Best remembered for her role in Tu Tu Main Main, she has largely been seen in Bollywood films playing the emotional mother. She has played mother to most superstars in the late 80s and 90s. She was considered as a "new-age mother" in Hindi cinema. She was low on drama and was not too emotional either, perfectly maintaining the balance between the two. From Hum Saath Saath Hai to Hum Aapke Hai Kaun to Kal Ho Naa Ho, she is the kind of mother you just want to give a hug and say everything will be okay. 

 Jaya Bachchan 

How can an onscreen mother’s list be complete without Jaya Bachchan. She raised the bar for on-screen mothers with her performance in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. The scene with Shah Rukh Khan’s entry in the film will be remembered for Jaya Bachchan’s sixth sense rather than the superstar’s entry. She then went on to ditch the saree and all the parampara and thali and was seen playing a bold single mother in Kal Ho Naa Ho. 

Ratna Pathak Shah

She will always be remembered dearly as Maya Sarabhai who could accept anything else but being middle class. When it comes to playing a mother in Bollywood, she has never been typecast and has shown variety in her characters. In Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na she was the protective and progressive mother to Imran Khan’s character who could not tolerate violence or any unjust activities. She once again played mother to Imran Khan in Ek Main Aur Ek Tu. She was a rich- sophisticated woman yet very different from her character Maya Sarabhai. Meanwhile, she played a middle-class mother to Taapsee Pannu in the film Thappad who worried more about “Log Kya Kahenge”.

Today, May 10, India celebrates Mother’s Day. The Internet is flooded with people sharing their fond memories with their mothers and thanking them for everything they do selflessly. Owing to the lockdown, many are unable to celebrate this day they usually do with several people staying away from their family. All this love is now being outpoured on social media. 

Bollywood celebrities are also taking to social media to share pictures, songs and poems for their dear mothers. Actor Ayushmann Khurrana is debuting a song titled 'Ma', dedicated to all mothers. Sanjay Dutt has penned a poem for late mother Nargis Dutt, while Ananya Panday shared an old video where she is answering who is her most favourite person in the world and she says her mother. Sara Ali Khan shared an unseen picture of her as a newborn baby posing with her mother and grandmother. Other celebrities also wished their mothers in their own ways with heartfelt posts.

It is that day when we celebrate motherhood, mothers, their unmatched love and every small and big thing they do for us. Bollywood celebrities have been sharing heart-warming photos and posts on social media, to mark the day. For Shilpa Shetty, however, it is an extra special day since her surrogate daughter Samisha came home a few months back, and she gets to celebrate the day with her two children now!

During a recent interview, Shilpa reveald that she always wanted two kids since she knows how impactful having a sibling can be, and did not want son Viaan to grow up alone. However, she developed an auto-immune condition called APLA which caused her miscarriages every time she got pregnant.

Before she decided to opt for surrogacy, Shilpa revealed she had also considered adoption as an option and put her name with an organisation for the same. However, it got pushed due to internal disputes and after waiting for four years, her patience got over and she and husband Raj Kundra decided to have a surrogate baby.

On Instagram, we keep coming across photos of the happy family, and Viaan always looks excited to have been promoted to a big brother.

Happy Mother's Day to you, Shilpa!

Actor Dipika Chikhlia, who was seen playing the role of Sita in Ramayan, was introduced to an unmatched popularity that has not faded even today. In an earlier interview, she had revealed how people in the villages would still refer to her as Sita and would even try touching her feet! However, given a choice today, Sita would not be the character she would like to play.

In a recent conversation, Dipika revealed she had evolved as an actor, and would rather be interested to play Kaikeyi, lord Ram's stepmother who insisted her husband Dashratha to send Ram, Lakshman and Sita to an exile for 14 years. Dipika added that playing a negative career was an entirely different experience and she was fond of playing roles that let her explore herself as an artist.

Actor Sunil Lahiri, who played Lakshman's character, said he'd still pick the same role, but if he had another choice, he would like to get into the shoes of Ravana as the character had many shades and would give an actor many varieties to perform.

As the nationwide lock-down began, Doordarshan started re-airing some of its most popular TV shows, Ramayan being the first one. On April 16, it became the world's most watched TV show, with 7.7 crore viewers.

The season of comebacks is here in the K-pop industry! Big Hit Entertainment's rookie group Tomorrow x Together is set for their second comeback this summer. The quartet will complete their trilogy with 'The Dream Chapter: Eternity'. 

The first teaser of their title track 'Can't You See Me' is here. More than one year after their debut, the boys are all grown up in this comeback. You hear them sing, "Can't you see me? / Like that magical day / Say believe me / Can't you see me?"

The five members are seen spending some good times together before everything falls apart. In the end, all of them stand outside a burning house as Soobin is seen screaming! It already looks like the MOAs are in for an emotional rollercoaster ride.

The concept trailer had similar emotions - a sense of losing your close friends over the course of time and lost feeling Soobin senses when he gets captured in the glass box.

The album is set to release on May 18, 2020. The group, which includes five members - Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai, debuted on March 4, 2019, with the EP 'The Dream Chapter: Star' with lead single 'Crown'. This was followed by 'The Dream Chapter: Magic' with '9 and Three Quarters (Run Away)' as its lead single.

Not just that, they also made their Japanese debut on January 15, 2020, with the single 'Magic Hour'.

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> One look at the title <em>The Dark Side of Life - Mumbai City</em> and it seems more apt for a book than a feature film. Nonetheless, that is indeed the case for this film which has a mix of newcomers and experienced actors with Mahesh Bhatt being seen in a crucial part as well. While Azeem Shirazi is the biggest contributor as the lyricist, several composers come together to create half a dozen songs in the film. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-925603" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/T4.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> The kind of sound that kick-starts <strong><em>'Aawargi'</em></strong> reminds one of the kind of music that Vikram Bhatt time and again brings in his films. Jubin Nautiyal is effective as the singer in this Sabir Khan composition which is put together by Azeem Shirazi. The trouble though is that the song sounds dated by at least a decade. Hence, even though it has a soft feel to it, the overall impact is not the kind that makes you revisit it again on loop. The song that follows next is titled <strong><em>'Tu Mujhse Nikalta Nahi'</em></strong> and has the kind of hook-line which is indeed catchy. In a bigger film with a larger setup, this Prakash Prabhakar composed and heard song may well have found good traction. Again, the song is not exceptional but still has that quintessential Bhatt touch to it which makes it stand out. Moreover, Tanveer Gazi puts together a good spin of words, especially the title. Remember <em>'Manali Trance'</em> from <em>The Shaukeens</em>? The song which follows, <strong><em>'Saanp Seedhi Wala Saanp'</em></strong>, is on the same lines and belongs to the trance genre. As a matter of fact Tripty Sinha sings this one too in the same style as that of Neha Kakkar and does manage to make an impact too. It is a new team of composer Sandeep Batraa and lyricists Azeem Shirazi and Ozil Dalal who pair up for this promotional song which is expected to bring in good entertainment quotient. However, a little impact that had been created so far is diluted to a major extent by Rashid Khan composed <strong><em>'Ae Zindagi'</em></strong> which is as sad as it gets. From the composition, writing (Nisar Akhtar) as well as the singing (Altamash Faridi Brothers) perspective, the song is really depressing and just doesn't make you root for it all. A slow moving number that is all about pathos, separation and the fact that life doesn't have much to offer to the protagonists, this one belongs to the quick-skip variety. Another newcomer, Shaan Asif Raj, is the composer for <strong><em>'Muddaton'</em></strong> which starts with the sound of guitar. Seemingly a concert number, this Azeem Shirazi written song is rendered by Amit Mishra. A soft rock number, <em>'Muddaton'</em> tries to bring in the kind of mood that was created by <em>'Sun Raha Hai'</em> [<em>Aashiqui 2</em>]. Though it does fall short, it still makes for a decent hear after all. Had it carried more punch to it, this one could well have found itself a better audience. <strong><em>'Aawargi Deewangi'</em></strong> is the song that concludes the album and its depressing notes do not really help the cause. On the same lines as <em>'Ae Zindagi'</em>, this one is written by Aslam Sani with music by Ahsan Ahmed. There is just nothing in there which arrests your attention and even though Mohammed Irfan is the singer here, you don't really find much entertainment quotient in there. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>The Dark Side of Life - Mumbai City</em> is a mixed bag and though there is no real chartbuster out there, two-three songs at least hold your attention while at play. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Tu Mujhse Nikalta Nahi’</em>, <em>‘Saanp Seedhi Wala Saanp’</em>, <em>‘Muddaton’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> This one actually throws a pleasant surprise. Typically when it comes to independent films one can't really be sure of the kind of music that they would offer. However in case of <em>Bombairiya</em> there is some effort that has actually been put into creating some pleasant music. Arko is brought on board along with guest composers Amjad-Nadeem and the results are satisfactory. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-936675 size-full" title="Music Review Bombairiya" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Music-Review-Bombairiya.jpg" alt="Music Review Bombairiya" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> Arko plays the triple role of composer, lyricist and singer for <strong><em>'Sanki',</em></strong> a Punjabi-Hindi number that is just the kind that on expects from a Punjabi hip-hop album. With a catchy tune to it, <em>'Sanki' </em>turns out to be instantly catchy and makes one look forward to how it is placed in the film. Producer Michael E Ward chips in too with lyrics for this fun number that has a hook playing right through which makes one nod in appreciation. Next to arrive is <strong><em>'Bairiya'</em></strong>, the word which also forms the base for the film's title <em>Bombairiya.</em> The song arrives in two versions, one which is a Navraj Hans solo and another that has Akriti Kakar joining as well. A sufi outing which has a melodic base to it, <em>'Bairiya</em>' is composed as well as written quite well by Arko. As a matter of fact one could well have expected a song like to feature in an Akshay Kumar film since the superstar is known for including such music for a soothing love song situation. This one deserves to cover good distance in both the versions. Amjad-Nadeem chip in for <strong><em>'Sajde Karoon'</em></strong>. They write as well as compose this number which is spearheaded by Yasser Desai with Warsi brothers (Meraj Warsi, Riyaz Warsi, Faraz Warsi) adding on well in the background. A 'qawalli' that manages to establish an identity of its own and adds on to the genre that it belongs to; <em>'Sajde Karoon'</em> could well be utilized for a devotional as well as romantic outing. This one makes it three out of three for <em>Bombairiya</em>. <strong>OVERALL</strong> Music of <em>Bombairiya</em> is good and it would have covered some distance had it been promoted well. One just hopes that the soundtrack doesn't go unnoticed due to lack of awareness. <strong> OUR PICK(S)</strong> Sanki, Bairiya, Sajde Karoon &nbsp;

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> Music of an Emraan Hashmi has to be special. However, since <em>Why Cheat India</em> is more of a concept based film that deals with education nexus, one doesn't really have much of an idea around what to expect from the entire soundtrack. Multiple composers, lyricists and singers come together to create half a dozen songs for <em>Why Cheat India</em>. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-941751 size-full" title="Music Review: Why Cheat India" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Music-review-–-Why-Cheat-India.jpg" alt="Music Review: Why Cheat India" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> There is a surprise in store right at the beginning though with a Punjabi club number kick-starting the proceedings. This isn't something that one expected from <em>Why Cheat India</em> and hence a rollicking start like this is much welcome. An all-around Guru Randhawa show in terms of composition, lyrics and rendition, <strong><em>'Daaru Wargi'</em></strong> is a fun number that should find itself as a hot favourite amongst the DJs at the clubs and the dance floors. Chartbuster material. Punjabi mood continues in <em>Why Cheat India</em> with newcomer singer Prabhjee Kaur giving a good account of herself in her major Bollywood outing. A celebration number that is well composed by Krsna Solo, <strong><em>'Stupid Saiyaan'</em></strong> is as 'desi' as it comes and gets your foot tapping right away. Lyricist Kumaar delivers once again with this catchy number that should find good traction. Finally arrives a theme song in the form of <strong><em>'Kaamyaab'</em></strong>. An Agnee composition that has been put to words by Juhi Saklani, this one is a complete departure from what one had heard so far. Coming across as a non-film number, it is sung by Mohan Kannan who narrates the tale of a student who has to do well in life while taking the route of right education. Bappi Lahiri's chartbuster composition <em>'Dil Mein Ho Tum'</em> [<em>Satyameva Jayate</em>] is recreated by Rochak Kohli and he does a really good job with lyricist Manoj Muntashir who adds on to original words of Farooq Qaiser. A soothing number that makes the transition from 80s to the current times rather seamlessly, it is sung quite well by Armaan Malik who makes sure that the current generation would be enticed too with this romantic outing. It's the sound of the harmonium that kick-starts the proceedings for <strong><em>'Phir Mulaqat'</em></strong>. A love song which doesn't quite come across as a 'ghazal' outing that it is supposed to depict, this one could well have made an even better impression had it been picturised as a quintessential Emraan Hashmi number. Instead, a solo stage setting visually dilutes the impact that this Kunaal-Rangon composed number could have created. Kunaal writes the lyrics too and first Jubin Nautiyal and later a female singer who goes by the name RII. In fact she does even better. Last to arrive is Juhi Saklani written <strong><em>'Taiyaari'</em></strong> which is sung and composed by director Soumik Sen himself. This one in fact turns out to be a rather boring outing and comes across as a dull piece. It tries to narrate the plight of students who are studying hard to clear their entrance exams. However, it depresses more instead of making you really feel engaged with the kids. <strong>OVERALL</strong> Barring a couple of songs, the music of <em>Why Cheat India</em> works with a couple of these promising to be chartbusters as well. If the film does well at the Box Office, one can well expect the music to grow further as well. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Daaru Wargi’</em>, <em>‘Dil Mein Ho Tum’</em>, <em>‘Phir Mulaqat’</em> (female version), <em>‘Stupid Saiyaan’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> Since <em>Thackeray</em> is a biopic, one basically expects situational soundtrack for the film which would basically glorify the subject in question, Balasaheb Thackeray. Composers Rohan-Rohan [Rohan Pradhan and Rohan Gokhale], who had earlier composed a couple of songs for <em>Sanju</em> [<em>‘Main Badhiya Tu Bhi Badhiya’</em>, <em>‘Bhopu Baj Raha Hai’</em>] are the composers for <em>Thackeray</em>. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-944480" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Music-Review-Thackeray.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> It is a grand beginning for <strong><em>'Saheb Tu Sarkar Tu'</em></strong> and one does get an impression of a biggie outing for the big screen with the kind of orchestra that is put up. Moreover, the lead singer is just apt too, what with Sukhwinder Singh crooning the words written by Manoj Yadav. As expected, the song is all about glorifying Thackeray as the 'messiah' of the masses. Expect the song to arrive at a crucial juncture of the film's narrative and bring on the dramatic appeal. Next in line is <strong><em>'Aaple Saheb Thackeray'</em></strong> which is written by Manndar Cholkar. This one is in fact a Marathi number and carries the signature tune that one has heard in the promo of the film. With the kind of beats that one associates with Marathi folk music, this one is rendered by Avadhoot Gupte and is again a situational outing. One wonders though why only the Marathi version appears in the soundtrack as it would have added on to the album had there been a Hindi version of the song as well. Nakash Aziz is the lead singer for <strong><em>'Aaya Re Thackeray'</em></strong> and given the kind of energy that the singer time and again brings in his songs, one expects the same here as well. Yet again, it is traditionally Marathi music that forms the basis for this song that is written by Dr. Sunil Jogi. While it is in line with the earlier two songs when it comes to the core theme and presentation, this one turns out to be far catchier and has a good recollection value going for it. Last to arrive is <strong><em>'Thackeray Theme'</em></strong> which is put together by guest composer Sandeep Shirodkar. It basically has a set of dialogues mouthed by Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the film with a base Western theme playing in the background. With the core theme of <em>Thackeray</em> supporting this near three minute composition, this one does make for a good impression and raises expectations from the film. Moreover, the intermittent sound of lion's roar only adds on to the excitement. <strong>OVERALL</strong> Music of <em>Thackeray</em> is situational and should aid the film's story telling. Though there isn't anything memorable about it that would play on after the film's exit from theatres, at least for its playing time it should do well. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Aaya Re Thackeray’</em>, <em>‘Thackeray Theme’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> When Zoya Akhtar announced <em>Gully Boy</em> with Ranveer Singh, there wasn't much known about what the film would bring on screen. Hence, it was surprise galore for the audiences when Ranveer Singh's rap number introduced the film through a teaser. Now after catching hold of the soundtrack there is another big surprise in store as there are an astonishing 18 songs in there. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-944920" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Mere-Gully-Mein-Gully-Boy.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> Ranveer Singh debuts as a rapper in real life as well, what with as many as five tracks against his name. Amkur Tiwari produced and Spitfire composed and written <strong><em>'Asli Hip Hop'</em></strong> is already a riot for the manner in which Ranveer goes about rendering this one. A hit amongst those who love the underbelly of rap, this is followed by Divine, Naezy and Sez on the Beat's 'Mere Gully Mein' which takes the whole excitement to the next level. It is riotous, ferocious and true to its genre, hence also ensuring very good recall value. Things turn a bit soft though when Ranveer goes on to narrate Javed Akhtar written poem <strong><em>'Doori'</em></strong>. Though this one is a short piece, one feels something is missing as the heart-warming moments had just begun. This is soon followed by a musical piece by Rishi Rich that has added lyrics by Divine. Though one doesn't see this one turning out to be a chartbuster like the first two songs, it should play on well in the film. The team also comes up with <strong><em>'Ek Hee Raasta'</em></strong> and the song adds on to the soundtrack like a scene in a film does to the narrative. Kaam Bhaari &amp; Ankur Tewari write <strong><em>'Kab Se Kab Tak'</em></strong> where latter pairs up with Karsh Kale to put together the composition. Voice of a female is heard in the soundtrack this time around with Vibha Saraf pairing up with Ranveer Singh. While the overall impact is there, the best is reserved for the flagship number <strong><em>'Apna Time Aayega'</em></strong> which is put to tune by Divine &amp; Ankur Tewari. Former's lyrics along with Dub Sharma are truly acidic and one can clearly hear the cry of the underprivileged who wants to do something really good in life. A clear cut chartbuster here. From this point on, Divine and Dub Sharma have a lot to offer in the soundtrack. Former writes lyrics for Chandrashekar Kunder aka Major C composed <strong><em>'Sher Aaya Sher'</em></strong> which is decent but not exemplary. However the ones that indeed makes a mark is their 'Azadi'. A cry of war for freedom from all the boundations, <strong><em>'Azadi'</em></strong> has in it to find some good traction over the next few days. As for Dub Sharma's solo effort <strong><em>'Jingostan'</em></strong> (which plays in two versions), it seems like a bit of noise to begin with but soon you get a hang of it for the sheer spirit that it comes with. When <strong><em>'Train Song'</em></strong> comes, you realize that there is indeed a heavy duty team coming together, what with Raghu Dixit &amp; Karsh Kale singing as well as composing the number along with Midival Punditz. In fact it is rather surprising to see as many as four lyricists collaborating for this one, what with Javed Akhtar, Karsh Kale, Gaurav Raina and Tapan Raj joining hands. There is some 'thehrav' in the proceedings though with Jasleen Royal composing and singing <strong><em>'Jahaan Tu Chala'</em></strong> in her characteristic style. The overall effort is easy on ears as Aditya Sharma's lyrics are simple too and hence have a soothing effect. It is back to business though with Kaam Bhaari composing and writing a namesake number <strong><em>'Kaam Bhaari'</em></strong>. Since this is a new world of rap and something that is far away from being Bollywood, one takes time to adjust to this tune that has Ankur Tiwari pairing up as well. Soon after, he comes along with Mikey McCleary to compose<strong><em> 'Jeene Mein Aaye Maza'</em></strong>, a well-made number where he takes the centre-stage as a lyricist as well as singer. There is also an all-around effort by singer and lyricist Ace who pairs up with ishQ Bector in the music department to bring on <strong><em>'Har Gham Mein Khushi Hai'</em></strong>. The song fits in truly well for the genre that Gully Boy is promoting and hence it turns out to be a rather seamless experience. On the other hand there is Western-Punjabi collaboration next with Prem &amp; Hardeep and putting together a really well composed <strong><em>'Goriye'</em></strong>. A fun number which actually has a Bollywood touch to it as well, it has Arjun, Blitz &amp; Desi Ma coming together with Kaka Bhaniawala and Bhinder Khanpuri. This one is a potential success too and should be unveiled really quick. The soundtrack concludes with Viveick Rajagopalan composed 'tapori' number <strong><em>'India 91'</em></strong> which again belongs to the slum setting that Gully Boy belongs to. There is a huge team of MC Altaf, MC TodFod, 100 RBH, Maharya and Noxious D coming together for this song and one ends up wondering about the real name of any one of these members. <strong>OVERALL</strong> If one has to define the music of <em>Gully Boy</em> in one word, it would be 'trippy'. There has been no precedence of such a soundtrack in Bollywood before and it could well turn out to be a trendsetter if expected by the audience. An experimental score, this one has a few songs in there which are potential chartbusters in the making. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Apna Time Aayega’</em>, <em>‘Asli Hip Hop’</em>, <em>‘Mere Gully Mein’</em>, <em>‘Goriye’</em>, <em>‘Azadi’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> It is in fact surprising to find a soundtrack for <em>Sonchiriya</em>. Yes, director Abhishek Chaubey has incorporated music in his earlier films like <em>Ishqiya</em>, <em>Dedh Ishqiya</em> and <em>Udta Punjab</em>. Still, with the Chambal setting of <em>Sonchiriya</em>, you don't quite expect music in there. However, Abhishek has done that by bringing on board composer Vishal Bhardwaj and lyricist Varun Grover. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-956952 size-full" title="Music Review: Sonchiriya" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Music-Review-Sonchiriya.jpg" alt="Music Review: Sonchiriya" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> It is a Western country music beginning for <em>Sonchiriya</em> as Mame Khan brings on an 'alaap' for <strong><em>'Baaghi Re'</em></strong> even as a guitar plays in the background. This one has a haunting feel to it which goes well with the theme of the film. Moreover, there is this distinct Vishal Bhardwaj element that comes into play for <em>'Baaghi Re'</em> which sets it apart from the other soundtracks that you hear in Bollywood. Not that this one, or its 'remix version' that follows, would be a chartbuster but in the context of the film it plays its part well. Rekha Bhardwaj, who definitely comes up with a song or two whenever Vishal Bhardwaj is the composer, goes solo for the title song <strong><em>'Sonchiraiya'</em></strong> which is later heard in the 'reprise version' as well. This one is a slow moving soft number and has a vintage 70s feel to it which is in line with the kind of songs that were created by Gulzar back then. This time around though it is Varun Grover as the lyricist. While yet again there isn't any commercial value that the song comes with, it should play well as a part of the film. Arijit Singh comes on board for <strong><em>'Ruan Ruan'</em></strong> and pretty much sings this one in a style that is actually synonymous with that of Vishal Bhardwaj himself. The sound of the whistle that accompanies the song is again in line with the Western country music and you like the intoxicating feel that comes with the core of <em>‘Ruan Ruan'</em>. Had this song been promoted smartly and aggressively, it could well have covered some kind of distance. That said, despite Arijit on board, this one too is basically quite niche and for a select audience. Next to arrive is the traditional number <strong><em>'Naina Na Maar'</em></strong> which has its lyrics recreated by Ashok Mizaj Badr. First upbeat number of the soundtrack, this one has Sukhwinder Singh at the helm of affairs and his free flow mode of singing does aid in bringing good vibrancy into the proceedings. He is supported by Rekha Bhardwaj and while there is some kind of energy that comes in when the song is being played, one waits to see how it is picturised for the big screen. Last to arrive is an out and out situational number <strong><em>'Saanp Khavega'</em></strong> which is basically about the 'survival of the fittest'. A kind of number which is basically put together for the purpose of aiding the storytelling instead of playing a part where the commercial aspect of the soundtrack is enhanced, this Sukhwinder Singh sung number just about passes muster. <strong>OVERALL</strong> Strictly situational with no real commercial appeal. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Ruan Ruan’</em>, <em>‘Baaghi Re’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> When a film is set as a high school musical, expectations are obviously there for a youthful and vibrant score in the offering. Vishal-Shekhar return from Student of the Year to the second instalment of the franchise and this time around they have multiple lyricists for company. Considering the fact that the mantle of direction has moved on from Karan Johar to Punit Malhotra, one waits to see how the soundtrack turns out to be. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-973392" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Mumbai-Dilli-Di-Kudiyaan-Student-Of-The-Year-2-Tiger-Shroff-Tara-Sutaria-Ananya-Pandey.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> First to arrive is the recreated version of 70s chartbuster <em>'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'</em> which has been presented as <strong><em>'The Jawaani Song'</em></strong>. While the combo of R.D. Burman, Anand Bakshi and Kishore Kumar had created magic back then, the new team of Vishal-Shekhar, Anvita Dutt and Vishal Dadlani-Payal Dev chip in well to amalgamate the original with the new version. This one is an experiment on the same lines as Vishal-Shekhar's <em>'Bachna Ae Haseeno'</em> where both new as well as old world had integrated quite seamlessly. The one that actually turns out to be the best song of the album though is <strong><em>'Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiyaan'</em></strong>. Vishal Dadlani chips in with his rap portion for this fun number that has an intoxicating hook is pretty much on the lines of several chartbusters that Vishal-Shekhar had delivered around a decade ago. Dev Negi and Payal Dev do well behind the mike for this fun celebration number written by vayu that has the trio of Tiger Shroff, Tara Sutaria and Ananya Pandey come together on screen and dance away to glory. A chartbuster track. Yet again, it's the hook that makes an instant impact, what with Vishal-Shekhar getting the youthful feel right again. It is always so delightful to hear Shekhar Ravjiani's voice, especially considering the fact that the composer sings quite rarely. He does quite well though in Kumaar written <strong><em>'The Hook Up Song'</em></strong> which has Alia Bhatt making a special appearance alongside Tiger Shroff. Neha Kakkar is the singing partner of Shekhar here and together they ensure that the album so far has three out of three songs working quite well. Sanam Puri, who had shot to fame with <em>'Dhat Tere Ki' </em>In Punit Malhotra's <em>Gori Tere Pyaar Mein</em> is back for the filmmaker's <em>Student of the Year 2</em>. The song he renders this time around is <strong><em>'Fakira'</em></strong> which has Neeti Mohan giving him company behind the mike. A 'desi' number with a hint of 'sufi' to it, this one written by Anvita Dutt is the kind that needs time to grow and hence should be unveiled pronto if it has to reach out to the audience. Next to arrive is <strong><em>'Main Bhi Nahin Soya'</em></strong> and yet again it is Anvita Dutt who is the lyricist here. A Punjabi-Hindi track by Arijit Singh, this one is a sad number and surprisingly doesn't quite fetch your attention even after repeated hearing. Agreed that the feel had to be sober right through its playing time considering its sad theme, one just hopes that it doesn't slow down the proceedings of the film's narrative, especially if it arrives in the second half. The album concludes on a high though with Vishal Dadlani and Payal Dev pairing up for Anvita Dutt written <strong><em>'Jat Ludhiyane Da'</em></strong>. On the same lines as <em>'Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiyaan'</em> and <em>'The Hook Up Song'</em> when it comes to the fun youthful quotient, this one may not go on to emerge as a huge chartbuster but still should do its job well to keep the film's proceedings entertaining. Moreover, it is sung quite well too, especially by Payal Dev who has bagged good opportunity to feature in as many as three songs and has made a good impression each time around. <strong>OVERALL</strong> One expected the music of <em>Student of the Year 2</em> to be largely fun and youthful, and in that aspect the soundtrack does well. There are half a dozen songs in there and while a couple of these are set to be chartbusters, another couple is set to grow in days to come. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiyaan’</em>, <em>‘The Jawaani Song’</em>, <em>‘The Hook Up Song’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> There are good expectations from the music of <em>De De Pyaar De</em>. After all, it's the <em>Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety</em> team of Bhushan Kumar and Luv Ranjan coming together, and that by itself sets the platform for an entertaining score. Moreover with Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh coming together, it turns out to be a unique combination that further adds on to enhanced interest. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-981143 size-full" title="Music Review De De Pyaar De" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Music-Review-De-De-Pyaar-De.jpg" alt="Music Review De De Pyaar De" width="750" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> Multiple composers, lyricists and singers come together to create half a dozen songs for <em>De De Pyaar De</em> and the first to arrive is <strong><em>'Vaddi Sharaban'</em></strong>. A song about getting intoxicated and celebrating hard, this song written by Kumaar is put to foot tapping tune by Vipin Patwa. Moreover, with Sunidhi Chauhan leading the show as a singer, it adds further credibility. She is at her vivacious best in this song which has a catchy hook to it and Navraj Hans gives her good company too behind the mike. Later, it also arrives in a 'talli mix' which brings in recall value. A romantic number comes next in the form of <strong><em>'Tu Mila To Haina'</em></strong> and this one is the kind that could well have been seen and heard in a Ranbir Kapoor or a Saif Ali Khan starrer. Amaal Mallik comes up with a soulful tune here which has Arijit Singh delivering his best. A soothing number that has some beautiful lyrics by Kunaal Vermaa, <em>'Tu Mila To Haina'</em> is the kind of song that should have a good shelf life in time to come. Next to arrive is a dance number <strong><em>'Hauli Hauli'</em></strong> and if one was missing Neha Kakkar all this while then well, the wait is over as she gets into her mischievous best with this one. This is the best song to arrive in the album so far as the entire team of composer/lyricist Tanishk Bagchi along with Neha and co-singer Garry Sandhu (who also chips in with the lyrics) does really well to make this one a cracker affair. Mellow D brings on the rap portions in this song which plays in the end credits and ensures that you take this song home and play it all over again. The soundtrack continues to oscillate between a party number and a love song, and it is time for latter to arrive this time around in the form of <strong><em>'Chale Aana'</em></strong>. A happy-sad number which has the team of Amaal Mallik and Kunaal Vermaa pairing up again, this is yet another winner number which is sung beautifully by Armaan Malik. With a soothing tone to it, the song comes at just the right time in the film's narrative and the accompanying visuals further help in making sure that it manages to make a good impact. Moreover, the lyrics stay with you as well. A Punjabi-Hindi number comes up next in the form of Kumaar written <strong><em>'Mukhda Vekh Ke'</em></strong> which is the recreated version of the song that was originally put together by composer Atul Sharma and lyricist Shamsher Sandhu. A celebration number by Manj Musik that has a fun element to it, it may not the kind that would stay on for long amongst the audience but does manage to leave a good impression while it plays on. Mika Singh and Dhvani Bhanushali pair up well to keep good energy flowing right through the song's duration. Last to arrive is Rochak Kohli composed <strong><em>'Dil Royi Jaye'</em></strong> and this one turns out to be one of those sad numbers that actually end up making you feel so sad that you don't quite aim for repeated hearing. In fact the core hook of this Kumaar written song turns out to be way too sad and the song too arrives at that juncture of the film where it only ends up bringing down the film's pace. Arijit Singh is the singer here but somehow you don't quite take this song back home. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>De De Pyaar De</em> by and large ends up working quite well with most of the soundtrack actually keeping you pretty much engaged and entertaining. Be it a couple of party numbers or the love songs, they fit in well into the film's narrative as well, hence lending an overall good experience. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Hauli Hauli’</em>, <em>‘Chale Aana’</em>, <em>‘Vaddi Sharaban’</em>, <em>‘Tu Mila To Haina’</em>
