A Still from 'Bluff Master' |
Next up, 'Say Na Say Na' is a track produced by Robert Uhlmann, Arash and Johan Bejerholm and is authentic Punjabi pop with a heavy dose of English and Persian lyrics. It is more in the traditional 'bhangra' dance style, though it fails to deliver the boisterous, joyous spirit of Punjab. Thankfully the promos show a much better dancing by Abhishek and Priyanka.
Geeta Dutt's classic evergreen number 'Tadbeer Se Bigdi Hui Taqdeer' ('Baazi') is next. Well, this is definitely the sensuous and silk smooth voice of Geeta Dutt. The remix by Sameeruddin has been done tastefully as the basic essence of the classic comes out intact.
The much publicized 'Right Here, Right Now' features Abhishek Bachchan as a singer(first time in Bollywood) in this Vishal-Shekhar composition. The sleek music video by Farah Khan featuring Abhishek, Priyanka, Riteish and the four super models has definitely succeeded in boosting the sagging sales of the album, making the number a definite chartbuster. V-S have definitely succeeded in camouflaging the shortcomings of Abhi's voice beautifully (though he is not a patch on his illustrious dad, even as a singer). But credit must be given where it is due, and since it is only his second effort (after 'Antar Mahal'), Abhishek does a good job as a rapper in the company of Sunidhi. |
