Music Muzik 'Musing

   Recently I began listening to UK top 40 singles album and found these 5 songs to be very interesting.

1. Labrinth - Earthquake ft. Tinie Tempah
  
   First up, my favourite song in the list is this song by Labrinth containing full bass, synthetic beeps and sounds and all that that shit. It's seriously good when listening at full blast on my ipod.

2. We Found Love - Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris (Boyce Avenue piano acoustic cover)

   I heard the original and it was good, but this one takes the cake. His voice and the piano's a definite hit.

3. Videogames - Lana Del Rey

   This song is very mesmerizing to from start to finish and Lana Del Ray captures everything. 

4. Super Bass - Nicki Minaj

   Very funky rap and a titillating background.

5. Loca People - Sak Noel

   First time I'm hearing a song like this. It's wacky, beat busy, dead pan vocals. Addictive.

Movie Review: The Dirty Picture (2011) (Hindi) - 3/7

 
Rating: 3/7

   This is not exactly a review per se since I haven't watched the whole movie. I came in 15 minutes late for the beggining and left 30 minutes early before the credits rolled in. Yes, I left the theater halfway into the second half and this is my second such incident.

   As for the movie, I hardly think this was based on Silk Smitha's life, and I feel like it's always a matter of coin toss on whether they are lying or not when the producers say it is not based on someone's life story.

   But credit has to be given for Vidya Balan for attempting to play a daring character the likes of which hasn't been done before in Bollywood and also for Naseeruddin Shah for giving a commendable performance as always. There is enough skin show, sexual innuendo's, mindless dialogues, one line punch lines etc for everyone to get through the film. If on the other hand if you were looking out for something deep like a psychological biopic of the persona of a dancer who raised eyes during a point of time when women in various fields were still looked down , then I would suggest you give it a miss.
