Complete Bollywood Music Analysis 2011

Complete Bollywood Music analysis 2011

2011 had been a pretty eventful year for Bollywood with a good number of films crossing the 100 crore mark. We saw Salman Khan fixing his top spot with films like Bodyguard, Ready etc..while SRK experimenting with films lyk Ra.One and Don2. A year in which we saw record being broken and re-written.

Well, my concentration is only in music. In dat case too, 2011 saw a good number of chartbusters. People to danced to the rythem of Chammak Challo nd Dhinka Chika while enjoyed the breezy tunes of Teri Meri and Haal-e-dil. Western artists like Akon and Ludacris featured in various tracks which was also the sign of global recognition of Bollywood music.

Amit Trivedi gave a killer opening to 2011 with track ‘Dilli..” from ‘No one Killed Jessica’. The song was a huge hit and saw discos dancng to it. January also saw a musical delight with ‘Dil toh Bachha hai Ji’ with Pritam composing a decent album nd songs like ‘Abhi Kuchh Dinon se’ becoming hits.

Moving into February, ‘Patiala House’, ‘7 Khoon Maaf’, and ‘Tanu weds Manu’ entertained the listners with tracks like ‘Laung da Lashkara’, ‘Daarling’, and ‘Sadi Gali’ respectively. Tanu weds Manu had also hits like ‘Yun Hi’ nd ‘Jugni’.

March was a disappointment but April bettered the situation with ‘FALTU’, ‘Dum maaro Dum’, ‘Shor in the City’, ‘Thank You’ etc.. ‘Char Baj Gayi’, ‘Dum Maaro Dum’, ‘Te Amo’, and ‘Saibo wer hits of the month.

May saw romantic albums like ‘Haunted’ and ‘Love you Mr Kalakaar’ coming up with pretty good tracks like ‘Jaaniya’, ‘Tum Ho’, ‘Bhoore Bhoore’, ‘Sarphira sa’, and ‘Kahin Se Chali aa’. Also ‘Pyaar KA Punch naama produced a funny track ‘Bandh gaya patta’.

June was the year to produce the first chartbuster in the form of ‘Ready’. Songs like ‘Character Dheela’ and ‘Dhinka Chika’ were sort of viral hits nd remained in the charts for weeks. The month also saw good albums like ‘Shaitan’ and ‘Always Kabhi Kabhi’.

July was the month of hilarious experimentation with the arrival of ‘Delhi Belli’ nd song ‘Bhaag DK Bose’ becoming a rage. All the songs of the movie were hits and ‘DK Bose’ was a chartbuster.! The good scene continued with the arrival of ‘Murder 2’ with another super hit ‘Haal-e-Dil’ and other good tracks like ‘Phir Mohobbat’ and ‘Aye Khuda’. ‘Zindagi naa Milegi Dobara’ arrived with some pretty cool tracks like ‘Ik Junoon’, ‘Senorita’ etc.. ‘Singham’ also had a couple of good tracks like ‘Saathiya’ nd ‘Maula’.

August had only two good albums. The OKOK ‘Aarakshan’ and the bumper ‘Bodyguard’. ‘Saathiyaa’ from ‘Aarakshan’ was a hit while ‘Bodyguard’ produced hits like ‘Teri Meri’, ‘I love you’, nd ‘Bodyguard’. ‘Teri Meri’ was a chartbuster and one of the most viewed and downloaded songs of 2011.

September came up with ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’ which was a musical treat with almost all songs becoming hits. Songs like ‘Dhunki’, ‘Isq Risk’, nd ‘Mere Brother’ were major hits. Next we saw Pritam at his best with ‘Mausam’. “Rabba’, ‘Ik Tuhi’, nd ‘Saj Dhaj Ke’ becoming huge hits proved his worth. ‘Force’ had a couple of good songs like ‘Khaabon Khaabon’ and ‘Chahoon bhi’.

In October, ‘Love Breakups Zindagi’ produced a good track ‘Rab Raakha’. The next good album was the hyped ‘Ra.One’ with a good deal of good songs. Akon’s ‘Chammak Challo’ was the pick of the lot, which was hit even before the release due to internet leakage. Songs like ‘Criminal’ nd ‘Bhare Naina’ were also great songs. ‘Damadamm’ was next with a hit song ‘Umrao Jaan’.

November opened with ‘Miley Naa Miley Hum’ which had a couple of good tracks like ‘Haule Haule’ nd ‘Nazar Se Nazar’. The real Euphoria began with ‘Sadda Haq’ from ‘Rockstar’. Songs like ‘Katiya Karoon’, ‘Tum Ho’, Jo Bhi’ and ‘Nadaan Parindey’ were also hugely popular. November ended with a good ‘Desi Boyz’ with tracks like ‘Jhak Maar Ke’ and ‘Desi Boyz’ becoming popular.

2011 ended with three good albums ‘Dirty Picture’, ‘Ladies vs Ricky Bhal’ and ‘Don 2’.

Songs like ‘Ooh la la’, ‘Ishq Sufiana’, ‘Aadat se majboor’, ‘Thug le’, ‘Jazba’ and ‘Zara dil ko’ became hugely popular.
