After a lull of nearly a year am back to blogging with all the music and movies from the Bollywood town. Got caught up in a busy work schedule in an economically unstable and difficult media industry trying to sustain in that environment. That’s where I have been trying to make ends meet and climb up while all walls come crashing down. I took a break to keep things in focus and for some family time.

But am back.. !! So feed in and stay connected here for the latest Bollywood music & movie reviews for the UK audience. Know what works and what doesn’t in the British Asian industry. Read a full scale song-by-song review from each OST album and a detailed review of the movies as they hit the British screens. Keep up-to-date here with my parties and listen to some of best mix sets been featured on BBC Asian Network and other radio stations.

Hey Bollywood romantics.. Hope you are well and basking in the glory of the accomplishments of the talented geniuses of our industry at the Bafta’s, Golden Globe & even the Academy Awards. As suggested by a few ignorant people in the industry, Slumdog Millionaire does not depict the ‘horrible’ and poor aspects of India.. What it truly presents is how we strive and work for excellence. It shows how we make fighters and stand strong to go the distance.. What it really shows is how talent like A.R. Rahman can get the world to stand up and applaud at out work.. And Rahman now gets every head in the world to turn to notice our music .. our heritage.. our Indian Film Industry and everything part and parcel of that…
