The music of Raaz is bound to leave you braindead!

The Bhatts may never know their if‘s very well but music they claim to know better than anyone. The Bitch decided to figure out their ‘Raaz‘.



Here‘s a countdown to their glory. Their first film in 2009, music begins now.

Maahi- Sung by someone called Toshi, this track is reminiscent of Nusrat Saab‘s ‘Loye loye loye, aaja aaja maahi‘ but the similarity ends there itself. While the tempo of Nusrat Saab‘s song was upbeat, this ‘Maahi‘ takes a backseat and lounges in its relaxed vocals. Works very well haunting and with church bells gonging in the background but why did they have to have a 100 piece choir chanting in the back? I kept pressing my ears to delve beyond the first layer of singing, to listen to them Gregorian chanting!

Soniyo- This is one of those pop-ish numbers with some enthu angrezi rap about how-to-cook-tea as you follow Shridhar on the radio while brewing hot water in a kettle. Then Sonu Nigam super glides in from nowhere and pours warm, gurgling mint fresh tea and you hold your cup and take a 360 degree turn in the virgin snow capped dream land and go ‘Wah Aaj‘. Yes, this is the moment of your life! Yeah babe! This song was made for loving you, you just didn‘t know yet. Oh Kangana and Adhyayan, what lovely couple-shaple no!

O Jaana- Kay Kay warbles cacophonic lyrics stressing how he‘s everywhere you are.‘Main wahan hoon jahan tu hai, tu jahan hai main wahin hoon‘. Sure thing, in a horror film, dude you need to be all over the place. It‘s when he claims to be inside me, The Bitch blushes. Notty boy! What else is in this song? ‘O jaana this, o jaana that‘. Yawn. Can‘t decide if Kay Kay is a ghost or the good lord himself!

Kaisa Yeh Raaz Hai- My issue with music composers is why the ef do they have to have this whole ‘hey hey hey hey hey‘ and ‘la la la la la‘ fillers with ‘whoa ho ho ho ho‘ in between stanzas, where the dude is asking the girl why he keeps seeing her face day and night? She a ghost idiot! Why the back up singers? She must be going nuts listening to him and his out of tune band play out under her window, begging her to please tell why she is such a raaz. ‘Bhooton ko bhi chaen se sone nahi dete yeh baba log‘.



Banda Re- The song starts with a chick ‘aahing‘ (possibly Kangana Ranaut) about how hurt she is and the ointment isn‘t working to soothe her pain. ‘Aah aah aah‘, dheere lagao bhai! Then this Krishna chap who‘s the singer, screeches in with akaashvaani about how he‘s god and all that. He too is everywhere we hear. And I see dead people eh! Kangana Ranaut will definitely need to stay away from this screamer if she wants to exorcise her demons; he‘s only going to excite them!

Three songs have been remixed to screw your brains further. The sounds are a mix of Indian and Western instruments fighting with each other in a bid to prove which one of them can be more clunky and annoying. It‘s a head bangers ball really.

This is music for instant sardard. If you want one, please pick a copy of this movie soundtrack for the mystery to continue...



*PS-Nusrat Saab will always be my favourite singer in the world, forever. Note that I call him Saab; he‘s the Boss when music comes without borders!

damn bitch u have the worst choice in music!! this movie raaz has great music!! maahi is at the top of the charts everywhere stupid! if it wasnt good then it wont be at the top now would it? and banda re is a great song as well and it‘s also one of the top songs. these days there are hardly any songs that sound good and have a good meaning as well but banda re does..it‘s about how god is within everyone and stuff. overall the music of this movie suits the story extremely well and if you don‘t like it then u should rise your standard in music.  | Sharlyn
