Dhoom 2 |
We have had sequels, and successful ones too, like 'Phir Hera Pheri' and 'Krrish' not to forget the next edition of 'Munnabhai MBBS', 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai', where the music directors have not tried to capitalize on the hit music of the original. But here we have too many throwbacks to the original. The makers have gone out of their way to make this album a success on the basis of their previous chartbuster. Two of the five songs have been designed to do exactly that, but the music of 'Dhoom:2' still fails to match the 'Dhoom' fervour, let alone rise above it. And since Yash Raj knew the potential of this album, they have gone ahead and have also included some of their (mostly recent) hit tracks from their previous movies, as an added incentive (in the CD, MP3 and also the cassette).
So the important question is, does the public lap it up like the original? Doesn't seem so, going by the response to the album thus far. The initial sales have been quite good but not blistering like 'Dhoom'. Plus the 'Dhoom:2' audio does not look like it's having the shelf life of the first part.
