Khatta Meetha, Udaan - Music Preview

I had been waiting for a while to write this review. Well, you would understand my enthusiasm if you are up for some nutty, Ganpati-style songs. Well let's dive in....

Khatta Meetha (2010)

Music: Pritam

1. Nana Chi Tang---------------------------------------------- 7/10
I liked the song, I think it is pretty funny and has good beats. Now, you need to take this into perspective. You need to know the phrase Nana Chi Tang to really enjoy the song, and song uses the phrase in a perfect context in the song. The lyrics around Nana Chi Tang support the phrase well. Besides that, the song has good beats and I can totally see this song being used this Ganpati festival in India.

2. Sadke, Sadke (Remix) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7/10
Another good track by prolific KK. This song is an oddity in an Akshay Kumar flick, but Pritam does a good job in composing a more normal romantic track.There is hardly a difference between the original and the remix, so if you like one, you would like the other.

3. Aila Re Aila ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6/10 
This is totally horrible song if you listen to it just like that. But when you think, it would be so much fun to dance on this song during this Ganpati festival, it makes the song so much more fun to listen to. Plus, this song harks back to Kala Kawwa by Daler Mehndi. If you loved that song, you will love this one.

Final verdict: Not a good album, but are you up for some fun?

Udaan (2010)

Music: Amit Trivedi

Amit Trivedi has got a unique style of himself. If you listen to this album, and think about his previous compositions, it is hard to miss the pattern. He starts out his songs slow and leads up to rock style music. This album again has the same pattern, but again, does not do enough to impress anyone. In case you are a Amit Trivedi fan, you would like to listen to this album and find out for yourself.

Final verdict: No good.

Brownie point: Motumaster is a funny song. A lot of effort has been put in this song to do justice to it's lyrics and the lyrics are funny too. I do think this song has been composed very similar to Maharashtrian style devotional songs. If anyone could second my opinion, it would be cool to know what you think.
