The Decade that was 2010-2019: Best Bollywood Music Albums!

Bollywood Music Albums are way beyond just item songs. These include songs that one cherishes even after ages, are unapologetically original and those which help in the progression of the movie story forward.

       

Before Picking my favourite 15 albums from this decade, here are some honourable mentions:
Ek Villian: Ankit Tiwari, Mithoon.
Dum Laga Ke Haisha: Anu Malik.
Delhi Belly: Ram Sampath.

My Favourite 15 Albums (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER):

Goliyon ki Raasleela; Ram Leela: Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Perhaps his best musical work to date!

Manmarziyaan: Amit Trivedi. With one of the best songs in forms of 'Chonch Ladiyaan', 'Daryaa', 'Sachi Mohabbat', this Amit Trivedi album is an underappreciated album.

Lootera: Amit Trivedi. Soulfully capturing the heartbreaks, 'Shikayatein', 'Ankahee' and 'Sawaar Loon' are crooned even today!

2 States: Shankar Ehsaan Loy. "Mast Magan', "Chaandaniya', 'Locha e Ulfat'. SEL gave us an album to remember!

Qissa Controversy Ka: SSR and Nepotism!

Image
14th June 2020. Bandra West, Mumbai. It has been 12 days since Sushant Singh Rajput has left the world. We accept it or not but, his death has impacted us to a great extent more than any other death in the film fraternity. There are uncountable  rumours  regarding his death and it is really shameful that it took a Death to realize the roots of Nepotism and Favourites that run in this industry! In the blog post, I would just like to share some radical views about the statements and the controversies that evolved  after his death.                                JUDGEMENTALITY:  Probably after the Nepotism debate, the most talked-about reason for his suicide is the Rhea Chakraborty And Mahesh Bhatt angle. Just because intimate pictures between Mahesh and Rhea have started doing rounds on the internet, the public has come to the conclusion (let alone an assumption) that there is someth...

Sushant Singh Rajput: An Inspiration and a Legend!

Image
It has been 42 days since Sushant Singh Rajput left for his heavenly abode on the 14th of June, 2020. In this write-up, The Bollywood Elephant pays a heartfelt tribute to the late Sushant Singh Rajput. May he find semblance in his mother's arms up there. Sushant carved your own niche in the galaxy far away yet near. We hope that we could bring him back using quantum physics by igniting chemistry. His dreams and passion are embedded in our hearts and become an immortal source of motivation. His death makes me realize the uncertainty and fear of life. His uncertain exit from our galaxy was unsettling but opened a chapter about life consumed by depression. I recall how he always wanted to be an astronaut and in one of his interviews, he said, "Let's be an actor and let's be everything" with the same energy and gusto as a naive and a simple guy with Bollywood dreams! Thereafter, he unravelled his dreams through cinema and stuck to what he believed! When I first read a...

Kalank Review: After Kalank, you will need a 'Palang' because 'Tabaah Ho Gaye'!

Image
After so many delays, Dharma Productions magnum opus 'Kalank'  starring Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Kunal Kemmu, Kiara Advani, Anchint Kaur etc. etc. It is scripted and directed by a 1-filmed old director Abhishek Varman.                                           What's Good:   Acting:  Credit is given where it is due. Acting performances are top notch. Aditya and Sonakshi are hands down the best! They are ably supported by the rest of the ensemble cast but these rightfully deserve every accolade. Costume and Set Design:  The costume and set design are absolutely spectacular and Bhansali level. Costumes are well depicted by Manish Malhotra. Music:  Surprisingly, Pritam's music is one of the better things of this magnum opus.                  ...
