The new rage of this weekend is LSD, Love Sex aur Dhokha. The film is not only good but also bold and in a way refreshing. It has tried to break away from the mundane story lines and has given its audience a movie that is sexy, straight and direct. If you liked Dev D, then this film will leave you floored. And an important aspect of its success is its groovy and foot tapping music. All the numbers are groovy and hummable and above all extremely inviting. No doubt a woman contributes to the success of a man just as Sneha Khanwalkar the young, unstoppable and the only female music director to be working in Bollywood teams up with Dibakar Banerjee to give us something that we have all been waiting for.
The groovy promo track of Love Sex Aur Dhokha began buzzing in your head as soon as it was aired on the small screen. The infectious tune, its peppy rhythm and not to forget the unapologetically bold lyrics make the song a musical gem. The songs had to be just apt and cheeky. So kudos to Sneha who mixed all the right ingredients to bring us some of the peppiest tracks that we have ever heard.
The LSD Title Track is nothing less than rocking!. Crooned by Kailash Kher and with lyrics like Kat Ke rakh dunga jo tune chhoone se roka, the track catches your fancy in the first go. And don’t forget to keep a tab on your kids because you never know when its gripping tune will fascinate their inquisitive minds. The remix version crooned by singer Nagarjuna is a bit haunting. Not bad at all. Tainu TV Pe Vekhya is not only a terrific rustic song but also takes a dig at today’s TV reality shows. And the lyrics verily expose the sham of reality shows. Unlike any other situational track, the song bowls you over.
Sneha belts out another number I Can’t Hold It Longer which is like Rihanna’s ‘Russian Roulette’ number which is rated ‘R’. Why? The song has used the FO abbreviation very cleverly. And what makes this song a potential hit is its retro-rustic flavor. Sneha has experimented with every genre and she has shown with this song what she is capable of. The song is one of the best numbers we have lately heard. Mohabbat Bollywood Style will make you feel how stupidly love is shown in Bollywood and as the movie also shuns and perhaps even scorns the clichéd idea of ‘true, eternal love’ through its contemporary take on relationships, the song does impress you. Sung by Nihira Joshi and Amey Date, the song is in a way a mockery of romantic films made in Bollywood. There is also a mention of Adi Chopra in the song.
Now comes the most controversial track - Tu Gandi Acchi Lagti Hai which successfully depicts the man’s basic need of sex. The somber tone and the serious music of the song makes it a number not for all times, and yes it is also a situational track. The album has two bonus songs, Kailash Kher’s Tauba Tauba which again makes an entry to the album. Do I need to say anything about this already-hit number? And then there is Na Batati Tu, a fusion of the classical music and contemporary soft rock. The song again proves that there is no match to Kailash Kher’s vocals.
As we come to the end, words become really insignificant to express one’s adulation for the path-breaking music of the album. For many, the songs may sound absurd, but shouldn’t the newage cinema offer different music from the quintessential Bollywood stuff? For that Sneha is here and surely she will have more such surprises for us.

LSD is the one movie after 3 Idiots that is worth watching and the music is really really good. Kudos to Sneha Khanwalkar for giving such good music and kudos to KM for making us aware of this fact through this blog :)
