Dhoom 2 |
The 'Crazy Kiya Re' rhythm starts 'Dil Laga Na', which has a pretty impressive ensemble, namely the Punjabi Pop sensation Sukhbir, the talented Mahalaxmi Iyer, the evergreen Jolly Mukherjee (wonderful to see him come out of oblivion), Suzanne and Soham. One expected a blistering paced dance number here, but nevertheless, the rhythm is infectious. The 'Dhoom' signature tune is present and it is used to good effect. The combination of the Bhangra music with Western and Latino beats is excellent. This track should turn out to be the highlight song of the movie. All the artists have done full justice to the track and Sukhbir deserves special mention as he is simply superb, his soft sweet vocals combining well with Jolly's high pitched, deep-throated ones (as he does a good take off of R.D. Burman).
The album concludes with 'Dhoom Again', as Pritam revisits the composition that made him a name to reckon with in the Hindi film music scene. It almost became the national anthem (such was its popularity), and of course was the most sought after ringtone of the year. The previous (in 'Dhoom') English version was rendered by pop queen Tata Young and was used as a promotional music video. This one has been sung by Vishal Dadlani (of 'Vishal-Shekhar' fame) and Dominique Crejo and will most probably be used once again for promotion of the movie. Coming back to this version, yet again this composition blows the listeners off their feet. The funky, groovy 'Dhoom Machale' rhythm just engulfs and has the same mesmerizing effect as the previous number had. Vishal and Dominique are brilliant and yes, the irony is that 'Dhoom Again' turns out to be the best track of the album. In a way, this proved that Pritam fails to rise above 'Dhoom'.
