Aap Ki Khatir |
The 'I Love You For What You Are (Remix)' is the usual stuff that Akbar Sami serves. In fact he fails to lift up the routine original.
Himesh uses a cocktail stirrer and mixes up two tunes 'Dholna' ('Dil To Pagal Hai') and the Mukesh classic 'Main Na Bhoolonga' ('Roti Kapda Aur Makan'), and lo behold he comes up with 'Meethi Meethi Batan'!
The influence of the above mentioned Manoj Kumar movie track is present throughout this track. Himesh bhai, we haven't forgotten the 1974 hit, though you will say "same folk tune basically". Even the super talented Kailash Kher and the neglected Jaspinder Nirula can't do much for the plagiarized composition.
The 'Meethi Meethi Batan (Remix)' is by (no prizes for guessing!) Akbar Sami and we do not want to sound monotonous by using the same phrases "upped tempo, beats etc." It's as ordinary as the original.
Next we reach 'Afsana', rendered by the capped composer himself. He tries to do a Trickbaby, using (distant) radio songs/sounds right at the start and later Sameer's lyrics go "Afsana ban gaya hoon main tere pyar ka, kya haal main bataoon dile beqarar ka." He even resorts to English "You are always on my mind." Sameer bhai, we do not remember the lyrics of the late Uma Devi's 'Afsana likh rahi hoon, dile beqarar ka' from the 1947 hit 'Dard' (if you think that, you are living in a fool's paradise). In a nutshell, even with some Rajasthani influence via violin and 'sarangi', 'Afsana' has nothing original about it!
