Pritish Nandy Communications (PNC) may not have been able to score at the box-office off late but their music mostly has done so. The music of 'Shabd' is an example of that just like 'Kaante' (with which Pritish was associated though in a different role).

Here we have the popular Pritam who hit the bull's eye with 'Dhoom' last year and has also been reasonably successful with his 'Chocolate' score. so we do expect another good album from him. Let us see what the combination of PNC and Pritam has to offer.

Before we get down to review the first track of 'Ek Khiladi Ek Naseena' (being aired on the channels), a piece of Bollywood history as always. Firoz Khan who plays a major important role in the movie was probably the first to introduce us to the British Punjabi Pop way back in 1992 with 'Yalgaar', by way of UK based Channi Singh's chartbusting Punjabi pop compositions (something Bollywood is accepting/discovering now).

Back to 'Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena', the first track
'Ishq Hai Jhoota' is derived from what we have just discussed above. The lyrics (Mayur Puri) may not be in Punjabi but the basic music and composition is definitely Punjabi Pop. The song is in the same corridor as Fardeen's last hit 'Kambakht Ishq', though lyrically and musically they are poles apart . The track has some superb arrangements (rap/heavy drumming). Looks like another popular number for Fardeen. The rhythm is deadly, the kind that forces you to dance. Sunidhi and Ganjawala are in full form .
