Music: Ram Sampath
1. Jee Le Zaraa -------------------------- 6/10
A pleasant song of a saddened heart sung well by Vishal Dadlani. He shows his non-rock flair in this song which has a decent tempo. The overall feeling of the song is good, just fails to make enough of an impression.
2. Jiya Lage Na -------------------------- 6/10
A track that blends the Indian classical tune with hip hop beats. Fairly melodic and soothing and Sukhwinder Singh is held on a tight leash of the classical tune, which is welcome change of pitch for him. Overall, the song sounds pleasing, but fails to completely capture our hearts.
3. Hona Hai Kya -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6/10
A pretty decent song of uncertainty and despair which successfully injects a sense of urgency to the mood. The song does a fair amount of justice to it's purpose. Suffers from a being a cliche track.
Final verdict: Overall, gets a 5/10. There are some decent tracks, but none of them break through the must-listen barrier and stay just ok. The other songs are fairly boring bringing down the stock of this album.
Music: Amit Trivedi
So after his Marathi-themed experiment in Aiyyaa, it is time to go Punjabi for Amit Trivedi. The tunes, theme and lyrics are very offbeat; or daring whichever way one chooses to look at it. Almost all songs fall into this category, although the noteworthy ones include the following.
Brownie points:
- Motorwada - The song impresses purely for the quirky lyrics and the easy paced gangsta tune. The fusion of western gangsta with Rajasthani lyrics is truly unique.
- Makkhan Malai - Amit Trivedi's Marathi experiment continues from Aiyyaa to blend into this Punjabi lyric song. The beats and tune is overly Konkani. The zest and fun of the song is contagious for sure.
- Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana - A lovely song of a squabbling couple. The tune is very traditional, and the instrumentals are almost exclusively Indian giving it a rustic feel. Enjoyable.
Final verdict: Overall, gets a 7/10, not for the hit songs, but the fun factor of the album. Amit Trivedi might not be the most successful music composer in Bollywood, but he surely is the most innovative and exciting musician of current times with his skillful adoption of local flavors from disparate Indian cultures. He may not get the recognition he deserves, but from an artistic point of view, he seems to enjoy his craft.
Music: Bappi Lahiri
If you're craving for super cheesy fun, Bappi Lahiri has got some of it in store. It seems, though, he is trapped in some 'Disco' era time warp.
Brownie point:
- Boka Chor - Out of the terrible tracks this album has to offer, this one is a good cheesy one. Right from Asrani's and Bappi Lahiri's dialogues to the catchy rehashing of 80s hit Naino Mein Sapna from Himmatwala tune, it is oddly fun and hip.
My suggestion to people : go and watch this movie, it's one of the best movies made this year, most of the ppl commenting here have only come to this forum to pull down this movie without even seeing it in the first place, most unlikely case scenario u don't like the movie, still are u willing to miss an aamir starrer after a gap of 3 years, be honest
