Music Album: 2016 The End
Music Composer: Agnel Roman and Faizan Hussain
Label: Zee Music Company
Rating: 2/5
Bollywood: ’2016 The End’ revolves around four youngsters, who are caught in a peculiar situation. This basic plot develops into a series of comic events.
The album has just four songs in it. The first song is ’Umariya’, a slow and sultry techno number sung by Lyla. Lyrics such as ’Umariya Choti Choti Balkhati Lambi Chooti. Galo Pe Til Hai Mere Aakhen Moti Moti’ don’t really mean anything profound, but makes the track catchy. The electronic intro augmented by sitar riffs also makes it interesting. The fusion track mixes traditional percussion with modern beats well. But what stands out the most is Lyla’s voice.
Next is ’Pagli’ rendered by Minal Jain. Apart from words like ’Pag Pag Pagli’ and ’Peg Peeke Pagli’, the song has no highlights and could have been easily avoided.
The third song, ’Tanu Takda Rawa’, is a slow-paced romantic number that has been sung by Vishal Kothari. This is the only track in the entire album that looks like a winner.
Benny Dayal has lent his voice to the fourth track, ’Dil Gulabi’. Disappointing, as one expects a lot from the singer. A small, fast-paced tukda in the middle of the song is all that catches your attention.
Overall, it is an average album as none of the songs really stand out.

Bollywood: Ever since the first trailer of ’Shivaay’ was released, it piqued the curiosity of movie buffs, thanks to its high-adrenaline action sequences and stunning visuals. However, actor-filmmaker Ajay Devgn has ensured that the movie’s music is one of its talking points, too. With a powerful mix of artistes like Mithoon, Jasleen Royal, Kailash Kher, Arijit Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan, Ajay’s team has delivered an album that packs a punch.
The film’s title track ’Bolo Har Har’, penned by Sandeep Shrivastava, is a heavy-duty song. Its high point is the shlokas that are sung by Megha Sriram. Composed by Mithoon, the song opens with Mohit Chauhan’s soulful voice followed by a bunch of amazing singers. ’Bolo Har Har’ is a song about Lord Shiva and talks about the war between the good
and the evil. The rap portion of this trippy and upbeat number has been rendered by Baadshah. The guitar riffs make it an amazing listening experience. It surely is a track that you would want to groove to.
Post this dark intense number comes ’Darkhaast’, a soft melodious track written by Sayeed Quadri. The song spells romance and Arijit-Sunidhi’s vocals are soothing to the ears. It breaks away from the usual romantic numbers in Bollywood and we have to credit the heavy techno beats, soft guitar riffs and bass in its composition for it. the next song on the playlist is ’Raatein’. High on melody, it has been sung as well as written by Jasleen along with Aditya Sharma. It is a soothing number that portrays a father-daughter bond between Ajay and child artiste Abigail Eames. A childlike innocence in Jasleen’s voice is the highlight of this track. The reprise version of the song is more intense and dark.
The last song of the album ’Tere Naal Ishqa’ is a situational number about love and longing, which is sung by Kailash Kher and composed both by Kailash and Mithoon. It is yet another father-daughter song in the film and Kailash has poured his soul into it with his high-pitched voice. Penned by Sayeed Quadri, the song is heart wrenching.
