Surprise, surprise! A Suneel Darshan movie on T-Series, when we have heard so much about the home label 'Shri Krishna Music', launched just a few years back. But that is not our problem. Let us move on to our priority; the music analysis of 'Shaka Laka Boom Boom'.

The Darshans' along with their favourite trio, Nadeem-Shravan-Sameer, have given music lovers some memorable, melodious music, and have always (even for failures like 'Mere Jeevan Saathi') succeeded in carving out a mass appeal through their music, which is evident even today on the streets and road-side 'dhabas'.

With Nadeem and Shravan in hibernation, the Darshans' have reposed their faith in the latest sensation Himesh Reshammiya. And glimpses of what to expect from him have been seen in Dharmesh's 'Aap Ki Khatir', which sank without a trace. So, through this album, Himesh has a lot to prove and also show the world that he is a worthy successor to the Nadeem-Shravan legacy.

It definitely seems that Himesh has learnt his lesson the hard way, and so has come up with a scorcher of a composition. Synthesized organ beats, coupled with some nice 'tabla' and percussion sounds, and yes, not to forget the usual rap by Earl (who has by now become a permanent fixture in the Darshan albums), commences the absolutely rocking title track 'Shaka Laka Boom Boom'. The rhythm is highly infectious and groovy, and it does not take any experienced reviewer to proclaim that its destined to be a chart-topper. Himesh surprises us with his normal singing and Akriti Kakkar comes up with good vocals to support him. Sameer writes some interesting and innovative lyrics, which are going be loved by the youth.
