Prasoon Joshi recites the poetry part in the song. We are anxiously waiting for the official video to release. Rating: 3/5
A brave, hair raising song in the voice of accomplished singer Sukhwinder Singh, “Bolo Kab Pratikar Karoge” asks for Pratikar or revenge for all the brutality and misdeeds of the British. Prasoon Joshi’s smashing lyrics and the chorus part sung by the adept chorus comprising of Mani Mahadevan, Arun Kamath, Nihal Shetty, Vikas Joshi, Varun Uday & Rituraj Sen add life and energy to this motivating song. Rating: 3/5
A mesmerising track dedicated to the Maharaja of Jhansi, Raja Gangadhar Newalkar. Pratibha Singh Baghel and Ravi Mishra’s mellifluous singing will steal your heart and make you elated. It’s an absolutely classy and heart-touching composition by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy for the mighty king. Rating: 4/5

Album Info Music: Tanishk Bagchi, Lijo George, DJ Chetas, S.Thaman Lyrics: Shabbir Ahmed, Rashmi Virag, Kumaar Singers: Neha Kakkar, Mika Singh, Kumar Sanu, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Asees Kaur, Nakash Aziz, Tanishk Bagchi, Dev Negi, Goldi, Arijit Singh Album Released: December 2018
The story of Sangram “Simbaa” Bhalerao played by Ranveer Singh, an orphan-turned-cop from Shivgadh, the same town where Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgan) was raised, takes us back to the Singham movie. Quite Opposite to Bajirao’s integrity and honesty, Simbaa takes complete advantage of the situation and leads the life of a corrupt cop. However, when his dear ones are abused, he finds himself changed and is forced to select a more righteous path.
Below we’ll talk about the songs composed by Tanishk Bagchi, Lijo George – DJ Chetas and S. Thaman.
A dhamakedaar party track to make your new year super-awesome. Tanishk Bagchi has been extremely creative with the composition. Kumar Sanu is back after a long time along with Neha Kakkar and Mika Singh to make you put your dancing shoes on. Enjoy this song on the GaanaPehchaana app. Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan look gorgeous in this song. Rating: 4/5
Tanishk Bagchi has intelligently retained the nostalgia and mushy melody of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s original track “Tere Bin Nahi Lagda Dil Mera” while appropriately mixing it with a modernistic arrangement that today’s generation can relate to. Asees Kaur, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Tanishk Bagchi’s voices mix together to create magic. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan always does justice to his father’s remakes. Rating: 5/5
“Aala Re Aala” is a bang on colourful number which launched Ranveer Singh in the movie ‘Simmba’. He is seen performing a super-energetic dance sequence along with an entire crew of men and women decked up in Maharashtrian costumes with saffron flags. Listening to “Aala Re Aala Simmba Aala” in Dev Negi and Goldi’s voices will make you dance like crazy. Rating: 4/5
This song shows Ranveer Singh, Sara Ali Khan and Ajay Devgan dancing together in one frame. Ajay Devgan’s grand entry looks absolutely smashing. Kumaar is the perfect lyricist for this song. Neha Kakkar and Nakash Aziz create a booming party atmosphere with their marvellous voices. Rating: 3/5
“Kanka Num Tara Num, Tandar Na Num Tara Num, Bandeya Re Bandeya, Bandeya Re Bandeya, Raah Pe Chal Bandeya”. This one’s a musical masterpiece composed and programmed by Tanishk Bagchi, sung by the sensational Arijit Singh and Asees Kaur along with support from the phenomenal chorus including Chayan Ghosh, Nickhiel Jain, Rahul Pandey, Purnima Solanki & Unnati Shah. The music by Bagchi is such that it will connect you to the basic theme of the film. Rating: 5/5
We have 2 theme melodies for this film which are played as soon as we have some moment of victory for Simmba (Sangram Bhalerao) our head of police. The first one is composed and programmed by Tanishk Bagchi, the master musician himself with additional percussions by Krishna Kishore and Team. The music was mixed and mastered by Eric Pillai. The 2nd theme track was composed by S. Thaman. Rating:2/5
The film is a full-on entertaining one and there are many people who wish to watch it more than once. It’s not just the movie that’s a super-duper hit one, but the songs and their videos are absolutely amazing as well. They are sure to rank amongst the best songs of 2019. THREE CHEERS FOR SIMMBA!!!

Let’s read about a few of his best songs till date.

Singer: Shaan
Remember the song ‘Musu Musu Hasi Deu Malai Lai’? Doesn’t this song make you nostalgic? It takes us back to those carefree childhood days when we could spend endless hours listening to this beautiful song. We simply love the eccentric lyrics by Raj Kaushal and Vishal Dadlani.
Music: Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy
Lyrics: Javed Akhtar
Singers: Shaan, Shankar Mahadevan, K.K
This one was the most trending party number back in 2001. In those days we didn’t have too many songs from this genre, hence people loved playing this one in all kinds of parties and get-togethers. It was a favourite with the kids and adults alike.
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Lyrics: Javed Akhtar
Singers: Alka Yagnik, Shaan
‘Kuch To Hua Hai, Kuch Ho Gaya Hai, Do Chaar Din Se Lagta Hai Jaise’ is an eternal, evergreen love song from ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’ that we have all grown up listening to.

Music: Jatin- Lalit
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Singers: Shaan, Kailash Kher
Can any Bollywood playback singer sing anything better than this? ‘Chaand Sifarish Jo Karta Hamari, Deta Woh Tumko Bata’ is a beautiful serenade in the 2006 romantic drama thriller film ‘Fanaa’ directed by Kunal Kohli & produced by Yash Raj Films. This smooth flowing melody has a rhythmic whistling in between the song. As a listener, you’d surely love to imitate and whistle back. Aamir and Kajol’s perfect chemistry and the catchy/enjoyable music is a perfect stress buster.
Music: Monty Sharma
Lyrics: Sameer Anjaan
Singer: Shaan
There was a time when Shaan was the Arijeet Singh of Bollywood. The way he sang the romantic hits, made us swoon over his songs. His voice texture and singing style turned millions of youngsters into his biggest fan. Are you a fan of Shaan as well? Listen to his songs on the GaanaP app.
Music: Pritam
Lyrics: Irshad Kamil
Singer: Shaan,Ustad Sultan Khan
‘Ham Jo Chalne Lage, Chalne Lage Hai Ye Raste’, a happy go lucky song from ‘Jab We Met’ brings back heaps of beautiful memories. Shahid and Kareena are seen travelling around a typical Indian countryside. Shaan’s heartwarming voice can woo any lady. Pritam’s composition and Irshad Kamil’s independent lyrics are quite innovative.
Music: Himesh Reshammiya
Lyrics: Irshad Kamil
Singers: Shaan
This song marked Shaan’s comeback after a long long time. It’s a mind-blowing track from the 2015 romantic drama ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’. Salman finds himself all confused as to what he should be gifting the princess. He can’t purchase costly gifts as he isn’t the princess’ real fiance. So he decides to purchase different food items.
Music: Shantanu Moitra
Lyrics: Swanand Kirkire
Singers: Shaan & Shantanu Moitra
‘Shaan’s voice exudes happy, positive vibes.’ After listening to this song you’ll surely agree with this statement. An extremely peaceful composition by Shantanu Moitra with the music from the flutes and Jal Tarang exuding the positive vibes. The Lyrics by Swanand Kirkire are a masterpiece.
As a child, Shaan started off with his career by singing jingles for advertisements. Then he began to sing remixes and cover versions. Shaan and his sister’s career began when they signed up with Magnasound recording company and recorded a few successful albums, including the hit album Naujawan followed by Q – Funk, which sold a million copies. Whenever Shaan sings, his voice sounds like that of a happy man. Positivity echoes through his singing!

Music: Amaal Mallik
Lyrics: Manoj Yadav
Singer: Armaan Malik, Palak Muchhal
Movie: Sanam Re
Armaan is the son of Indian composer, singer, songwriter, actor and script-writer Daboo Malik, hence in the beginning, when he participated in ‘Little-Champs’, he was eliminated right at the 4th position because he already belonged to a musical family. Now, that he is one of the most sought-after singers in the industry, we can’t resist falling in love with each of his songs. ‘Hua Hai Aaj Pehli Baar’ from the 2016 movie ‘Sanam Re’ composed by Armaan’s brother Amaal Mallik and penned down by Manoj Yadav is one of Armaan’s most memorable Bollywood song.
Music: Pritam

Neha Kakkar is a lethal combination of both beauty and looks. She was just a next door girl who started her singing journey along with her sister Sonu Kakkar and brother Tony Kakkar. She used to sing at jagratas as a kid and now she is the most glamorous singing diva of Bollywood. She considers Pritam as her favourite composer, so we chose her song ‘Naina’ from ‘Dangal’ composed by Pritam and written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. It’s a heavenly, divine melody.

Ash gradually rose to fame with hit songs like ‘Dil Gira Dafatan’ from ‘Delhi 6’ and ‘Aunty Ji’ from ‘Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu’. Ash King along with Raftaar (the rapper) and Jigar Saraiya has completely slain this party anthem ‘Bandook Meri Laila’ from ‘A Gentleman’ starring Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez.
Music: Ram Sampath
Lyrics: Javed Akhtar
Singers: Bhoomi Trivedi, Sukhwinder Singh, Karsan Sagathia
Movie: Raees

Bhoomi auditioned thrice for Indian Idol but the first two times she had to quit because of certain misfortunes but the third time, she became the runner-up of the competition. She hails to a musical family in Vadodara, Gujarat so music has always been there in her blood. She rose to fame with the ‘Ram Chahe Leela’ song in ‘Ram Leela’, but ‘Udi Udi’ has been one of her best song, composed by Ram Sampath and written by Javed Akhtar. It is a treat for the ears.

Movie: Padmaavat
Neeti comes from a completely non-musical background. She wished to pursue her dream of joining the Indian Army, but destiny made her the winner of a talent show. She first started her career by crooning to a jazz number in Bombay Velvet after which opportunities came flying to her. With ‘Nainonwale Ne’, Neeti Mohan got a chance to shine brightly in the Shreya Ghoshal territory. Neeti’s voice is perfectly modulated and fully expressive with the playfulness and teasing. Dancers will not be able to resist dancing to it.
Music: Jeet Gannguli
Lyrics: Rashmi Virag
Singers: Yasser Desai, Jeet Gannguli
Movie: Parmanu
An academically inclined individual with a masters in Biotechnology, the Mumbai boy Yasser, who started his musical journey at the age of 11 didn’t realize that he would make it this big in Bollywood playback.
