A Still from 'Gangster' |
The album concludes on a very serious note, with Kavita Seth singing the semi-classical (a combination of 'thumri' and 'nazam' without 'alaaps') - "Mujhe Mat Roko" (reminiscent of Jaspinder Narula's "Na Leke Jao" from 'Fiza'). Kavita's voice, a huskier version of Begum Parveen Sultana ("Humein Tum Se Pyar Kitna" - 'Kudrat') suits this composition to a "T". Soft 'sitar' strings in the background provide the perfect backdrop to a heard before tune, maybe because it's a 'raaga' based composition and there can only be seven 'surs'! But it's the lyrics by Sayeed Quadri that stand out. Sample a few impact lines - "Usko paana hi meri zindagi ka maqsad hai, gar wo milta hai mujhe marke, to mar jaane do, mujhe mat roko."
To sum it up, while listening to the whole album, we searched for at least one mediocre track, but found none! 'Gangster' is one of the best assortments of high quality songs to release during the first quarter of 2006. And with music's lucky mascot Emraan Hashmi as the leading actor (and that too in a Bhatt movie), the album will move only in one direction (on the popularity charts) - UP! And that is bad news for Himesh's 'Tom Dick and Harry' that was just about picking up.
A must buy!
