The last time director Satish Kaushik, music director Himesh Reshammiya and lyricist Sameer came together, they created magic with 'Tere Naam', the score of which is still popular and sells even today (in combinations). And now, with another big name, that of the showman Subhash Ghai joining them (as the producer), expectations from this elite team assume mammoth proportions. So let us go on and check out what they have to offer (musically) through 'Shaadi Se Pehle'; especially as they claim that the music rocks via ads in reputed trade magazines.
The album commences on a promising note with Sunidhi Chauhan crooning the highly rhythmic "Mundya, Aa bhi Ja, Le ja dil le ke ja." It is an enticing-cum-inviting number with good synthesized music along with an equally good chorus. Sunidhi is in full flow and her voice oozes with sex appeal, as does Mallika in the promos! And it makes the score even more appealing. Though one must add that the 'mukhda' is a straight lift from the Akshay-Rekha seduction number "In the Night, No Control" ('Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi'). It is another matter that the latter was itself a rip off from Laura Branigan's "Self Control".
