Top 10 Songs of the Week - 20 Dec 2012
  The lull finally ends with the return of master composers: Moitra and Bharadwaj !!
  - Atta Khan
Selection based on critical acclaim, sales figures, PB's critics recommendations from reviews, originality of song, originality of composer and lyrics           Let us know what you think about these Top-10s
 

It`s been a while but at last we can listen to fresh music again thanks to the return of two master composers. Firstly Shantanu Moitra returns with the soundtrack to Sudhir Mishra`s Inkaar. Some classic Moitra tunes in there including "Darmiyan" and "Maula Tu Malik Hai". Well worth a listen.

Then we have Vishal Bharadwaj`s eagerly awaited music to the crazy looking comedy film Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola. Well he doesn`t disappoint although anybody expecting the status quo will be in a for a big surprise! The title song "MKBKM" and "Lootnewale" are both energetic and wacky. "Oye Boy Charlie" is just a fun and addictive dance tune with an old school feel. Those who want something easy and relaxing should try the romantic "Khamakha". This one comes highly recommended.

Expect reviews shortly.
