A Still from Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena |
Next up, 'Jhoom' is essentially the essence of 'Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena', which is prevalent throughout the movie. One can classify it as the theme song. Suzanne 'D' Mello starts off the song with 'Ek Tha Khiladi, Thoda Anari, Ek thi haseena, Uski Deewani'. The guitar in the initial part is straight out of Deep Purple's 'Smoke On The Water'. It is basically a passionate seduction or inviting number (has to be as the movie has Koena Mitra playing the female lead !). Credit must be given to Suzanne, who proves that it’s just not the English lyrics/tracks that she is adept at. If given a chance (like here), she could give many of the current lead female singers a run for their money .
Overall, it’s a let down from the first time combination of Pritish Nandy Communication and Pritam. Though some of the younger audiences may like it, especially if they are already bored with 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' ( the current chart topper) and Pritam's own 'Chocolate' and especially those who have to buy something new (every week) for their car decks. We wont stop them!
