A Still from 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya' |
The remix 'Laga Prem Rog' has the Akbar Sami touch and is tastefully done (not like some of the recent remixes which are merely there as fillers). For a change the remix starts with traditional percussion instruments and 'matka' (earthen pitcher) sounds. Thankfully, it is not a cacophony of Western instruments, as is the usual practice. After all, DJ Akbar Sami is the king of remixes and here (unlike 'Just Chill') he demonstrates his magic and does a great job. Exclamation sounds like 'O Baby‘, 'O boy', O gosh' are used well (as they keep popping up from the background). The traditional style of Alka combines well with Kamaal's western style.
'Ye Ladki' by Kamaal and Sunidhi is the only ordinary song of the album and may not even be there in the movie. The song though is lifted somewhat by the talented Kamaal and Sunidhi (though she struggles a bit with the English lyrics).
Next up, 'Ishq Chunariya' goes 'Roothe to roothe ye saara zamana, Ishq chupardy odh ke dil mein aan are'. This 'Chunariya' song is rhythmic but lacks the class of the earlier 'Chunri' song. It is a sort of a 'Khichdi' song as Himesh takes inspiration from his old songs from 'Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge', 'Yeh hai Jalwa' and even from Nadeem-Shravan's 'Muskaan'. The song sounds ordinary because of the fact that we have heard most of the tunes before. Udit and Alka’s singing however is what saves this track and may appeal to a select few.
On the whole, 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya' is a sure shot winner as it has Himesh in full form after a long time. He does what he is best at - rhythm and melody (a tad on the western side). It will enter the charts in no time but will have to fight it out with the likes of 'Paheli' that is already moving up well and 'Parineeta' that is being appreciated.
