An eerie calm prevails here in
Miami tonight. With
Tropical Storm Noel hovering off the east coast, it is windy (and boy is it a cool breeze all over!). Drove by
Ocean Drive on my way home tonight. The vibrant
South Beach ambiance was missing. What with tables and chairs stowed away for wind, the exterior of Deco Drive was non-existent. Ah well, the point of this post is that while I was driving in the rain (obviously without the top down, which is not my favorite position), I was listening to the soundtrack to
Garam Masala (2005). Recall that the movie starred
Akshay Kumar and
John Abraham, and lovely ladies
Rimi Sen, Neha Dhupia, Daisy Bopanna and
Nargis.

A quick share of thoughts on the
Pritam soundtrack.
Chori Chori, Ada, and
Falak Dekhoon (the version by
Sonu Nigam) would all fit perfectly in the Ocean Drive setting. Urban, hip, and a great fit in any nightlife scene as well as at an afternoon city drive.
Falak Dekhoon by
Udit Narayan has to have been one of the best love songs of 2005.
Soundtrack rating: ***1/2 (VERY GOOD)
