Crook, Aakrosh - Music Review

Crook (2010)
Music: Pritam

Another Emraan Hashmi movie with Pritam directing the music is definitely a good sign. This week Pritam comes out with some good music. Not great, but good.

1. Mere Bina, Mere Bina (Unplugged), Tujhko Jo Paaya ----------------------------------------------- 7/10
A nice romantic track. Brisk pace, sauntering all along till the end. Opens with a great tune that you will fall in love with. The Unplugged version by KK is good too. Why the third track is named differently is a mystery, but it is pretty much the Unplugged version by Mohit Chauhan, and it feels a little too dry.

2. Kya ------------------------------------------------ 7/10
Neeraj Shridhar lends his voice to this stylish song. The opening of the song is a bit not good. Almost sounds like some Punjabi remix, but then gets good.

3. Tujhi Mein, Tujhi Mein (Reprise) -------------------------------------------- 7/10
A typical KK song. Starts with him singing in high pitch and immediately gets on with the beats. The song is a rock track and will definitely will be one of the best of KK this year. The recurring theme of the song is good sounding. The Reprise version is less flamboyant than the original, but equally good.

Final verdict: You can get the tracks above.

Aakrosh (2010)
Music: Pritam

Pritam again! But here he fails to deliver. It could be anything from the kind of background the movie is set in. Looks like a rural themed movie. It could very well be that Emraan Hashmi is not a part of the cast.

I will not say any song is really great, but I will point to the better tracks.

  • Saude Bazi, Saude Bazi (Encore) - The tracks are almost the same and they are not great, but somehow are really soothing to listen. Good song to calm down. Almost a ghazal, but falling short of it. The original version by Javed Ali is better of the two.
  • Isak Se Meetha - Another song to the genre of Kajraare Kajraare, Bidi Jalali Le, Humka Peeni Hai. If you are a fan of this genre, you will like it.
That's all this week.
