After two soundtracks from V-S,it’s time to review an album from Pritam-my Favorite Music Director of this generation.So,let’s take a look at Desi boyz,which is Pritam’s latest offering.
The title track-Make Some Noise For Desi Boyz-is a typical Pritam punjabi number.A little on the louder side,this one sung by Pritam regular K.K. & Bob is a good listen but Pritam has deliverd much better numbers in this Punglish genre of his.It’s remix offers nothing new and is better skipped.
Next up is Subha Hone Na De and this is as rocking a song as one can hope and get.With overall club ambiance,this one with it’s very catchy tune and super cool orchestration is the dance track of the second half of 2011,just like Chaar baj gaye was the dance track of the first half of the year.Also Sung very well by Mika & Shefali Alvares,Even though a lot of the singing is auto tuned.This number also comes in another version ‘Tu Mera Hero’ and a remix.Both these tracks offer nothing much different from the original one.
Jhak Marke [a kind of a sequel to Zor ka Jhatka] is the next track and has a catchy tune too.Very massy and folksy,complete with funky wedding shehnai, this is another hit track.A truly good track sung by Neeraj Shridhar & Harshdep kaur,this one is the second best track of this album after Subha.Lyrics by Irshad Kamil are funky and deserve a mention.It’s remix is again disappointing.
Allah Maaf Kare sung by Sonu Nigam & Shilpa Rao is quite catchy and has got a nice vibe to it.It starts promisingly but later falls flat as it gets a little louder and the tune gets a little stale.It’s remix also does not impress much.
The last track ‘Let It be’-sung by Shaan has some awesome lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya.A soft soothing number,this one is really beautiful and has got some awesome guitar work in the beginning like jhak marke.[i forgot to mention about the beautiful guitar work in Jhak Marke earlier.]This one , thankfully has got no remix and that’s a good thing.
In short,this one’s a true-blue Commercial Masala album and is entertaining from beginning to end and suits the mood of an Akshay Kumar Commercial film perfectly.

2] Subha Hone Na De-5/5
