A Still from 'Gangster' |
The remixed "Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai" by Jatin Sharma is like what remixes are usually - a pacy rhythm and upped tempo, with lots of background interludes and English lyrics added. One feels that the 'Euro Mix' was better.
Haunting background female vocals, high string guitar strumming and soft drumming commence the absolutely rocking (literally!) number "Bheegi Bheegi" (based of Gautam Chatterjee's Bengali classic 'Prithibi'). Full credit goes to the Bhatts for getting us acquainted with Atif Aslam, Najam Sheraz and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan (from Pakistan), to name a few. Now they have introduced us to the absolutely amazing pop sensation from the other (Eastern) side of India's border (Bangladesh) - the 'voice perfect' - James, a very reputed singer in his country.
His rock style singing (without loosing his vocal controls and 'sur') is mind-blowing. Lyrics by Mayur are very apt and situational and depict the uncertainty, fear and mystery element very well. The chorus (used repeatedly) "Na jaane koi, kaisi hai ye zindagani, hamari adhuri kahani", haunts the listener, over and over again. Even after "Bheegi Bheegi" ends, one is left spellbound. Need we say more? |
