Music: Sohail Sen, Sajid-Wajid
1. Mashallah ----------------------- 8/10
One of the best Arabic themed music in Bollywood. Wajid Ali has been brilliantly put to use as a playback singer, his unrefined voice working perfectly with the theme. The supporting beats and connecting instrumentals would remind one of belly-dancing scenes (of course, that is not exactly how the song is actually shot).
2. Saiyaara ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7/10
Mohit Chauhan: This is exactly the kind of songs you should be picking to voice. Very Rockstar-like, his fans should certainly relish this piece. The only drawback of this one is it quickly loses steam after a euphoric opening by Mohit Chauhan.
3. Banjaara ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7/10
An emphatic and pleasant track by the master of zest in Bollywood music industry: Sukhwinder Singh. The opening santoor and recurring violin theme is it's highlight and keeps us interested throughout. Good track.
Final verdict: Overall, gets a 7/10. Decently entertaining album by Sohail Sen, who does a terrific job of breaking his mold. His style is not recognizable in this album. The Remixes and other tracks are mediocre and a bit of a drag, save for the aforementioned ones.
Music: Amjad Nadeem
Amjad Nadeem has taken a diversion after directing some mainstream Bollywood music. The music is pretty average to mediocre outside the context of the movie, and there has been no exception since Ramayana - The Epic where an animation movie has had decent music for neutral listeners.
Brownie point:
- Om Namo Namah - To the credit of Amjad Nadeem, this is a good Indian classical track describing the life of Lord Krishna.
Music: Tony Kakkar, Rustam Fateh Ali Khan, Leonard Victor, Sourish, Ali Mustafa
1. Aaye Nahi Chain Kate Nahin -------- 7/10
A soft and silent romantic track in a typical Indian classical/ghazal form, clearly bringing to the fore the classical roots of Rustam Fateh Ali Khan. The bass guitar passages sound a little odd in this track in this overall, enjoy-it-in-solitude track.
2. Mashah Allah Kya Kehna -------------- 6/10
Yet another Mashah Allah for this week. An interesting track evoking the Mohammad Rafi era, axit's tempo and mood. Pretty pleasant.
Final verdict: Overall, the track has it's fairly good tracks and some pretty average ones. 8 original tracks that are pretty decent (at least not outright bad), pushes it's rating to 6/10. Check out the above. Rustam Fateh Ali Khan shows a good spark.
