Chartbusters

Top five songs on my playlist these days:
1. Johnny breakbeat mera naam [from Johnny Gaddar] - Not even in your wildest dreams you would have thought of mixing our chilhood jingle "johnny johnny yes papa" with the famous dialogue by Devananad "Johnny mera naam". That's exactly what Gulraj Singh has done for soundtrack of Johnny Gaddar. The mix of electronic sounds with guitar is almost perfect. The narration in background makes it all the more interesting. One great funk song. Number one in my list.

2. Move your body [from Johnny Gaddar] - A radio in distance plays "doob jaa mere pyar me". And you listen to a blast of beats close to you. Beats get fast and some rap sequence start. All the transitions take place as natural as you can imagine. Your feet can not stop themselves from dancing to the tune. Its almost like a instinct. A perfect dance number. This song should have been publicized on a grander scale. It's a chart buster. Nice rapping done by Hard Kaur.

3. Man Moniye [from Dil Dosti Etc..] - Labh Janjua is brilliant. Punjabi funk could not have got a better definition than this. This songs come in the end of the movie and set the mood for the perfect end. It can set mood anytime. It will be played at all the parties this year. Another dance number that will make anyone to shake their legs. There is a DJ Phat mix of the song too. But I feel the original is too good to be matched by anything else.

4. Bhool Bhoolaiyaa [from Bhool Bhoolaiyaa] - This is trademark Bombay Viking. Neeraj Sreedhar does a good job. Another funky dance number. And another rap sequence. The remix version is somehow no match for the original one. Another chart buster.

5. Soni De Nakhre [ from Partner] - Labh Janjua is rocking all along. This one is from partner. Made more to suit the shadi-party scene, this one lacks the free spirit of man moniye, but is really enjoyable nonetheless. Fast beats matched nicely with some electronic sounds.
