Dil Diya Hai |
Next up is 'Chalo Dildar Chalo', which instantly reminds us music lovers of the evergreen, classic love ballad, (one of the ultimate romantic composition ever) from 'Pakeeza'. But Himesh's composition is a lively fast paced love song. The use of plates and orchestra rhythms along with pacy string beats and the lesser-heard instrument these days, like the 'Veena', which gives a good effect. Hemchandra, Himani and Vinit (all of them from the talent show Sa-Re-Ga-Ma) rock with their youthful, energetic singing.
Akbar Sami is unable to do anything good in the remixed version of 'Chalo Dildar Chalo' as the original itself is pacy and the singing is energetic.
The usual pub/disco number that has become one of the features of Emraan's movies after the hit 'Tawalliye Ma' ('Murder') is 'Afsana Banake Bhool Na Jaana'. Easily one of the better tracks of the album. It is a situational song where the inhibitions of the male protagonist (played here by Emraan) are laid to rest after downing a couple of pegs and so he gets into a confrontation with the other guy on the dance floor! Sameer, who like Himesh is getting too repetitive these days is good and deserves a mention. Himesh and Tulsi Kumar sing well in combo.
'Afsana Banake Bhool Na Jaana-Remix' is on par with the original, if not better. The lively arrangements make it more dance inducing.
'Jabse Aankh Ladi' is a mixture of quite a few tunes one of them being 'Mere Haathon Mein Nau Nau Choodiyan' ('Lamhe'). Nice to hear Jayesh Gandhi after a long time with Alisha, who for once gets to render a normal breezy dance track, which she does well. Jayesh sings in his usual high-pitched style. But since the song itself is no great shakes both of them fail to lift it. A similar statement can be made about Akbar's remixed version of 'Jabse Aankh Ladi', which despite additional condiments is a routine remix.
