Aap Kaa Surroor |
Some lovely guitar strumming and Himesh's crooning herald this beautiful romantic love ballad 'Tera Mera Milna'. It is an infectious love song that one consciously or unconsciously keeps humming after the song is over, especially the part "Tere bin tere bin, Dil naiyo lagda". The only two negative points are Himesh's bad diction (sticks out like a sore thumb) and Shreya's mincey-strained Anuradha Paudwal like singing. It sounds like she is trying too hard.
'Tera Mera Milna - Remix' by Akbar Sami is a routine job. The pace is too fast and not suited for a love ballad, though Jayesh Gandhi's alaaps, which accompany Himesh, do a world of good to this average remix. Of course, Shreya is her natural self here, unlike the original version.
"Apni zulfon mein meri ungliyaan rahne do, Apne hothon pe meri galtiyan rahne do, Apne seene mein meri daastaan rehne do" - with these very mushy-mushy words, a la 'Mere Huzoor' (the classic song of the 60's), Himesh begins 'Jhoot Nahin Bolna'.
It's the only composition that is not befitting of this 'zabardast' album, though its earthy charm will appeal to the masses and the front-benchers. The composition is a potpourri of many songs, like Himesh's very own 'Odhni' (Tere Naam) and the antara of 'Main Na Bhooloonga' ('Roti Kapda Aur Makaan'). There is definite inspiration from Punjabi folk tunes the we have heard before.
The earthy charm of the original is totally knocked off, due to the excessive synthesized beats and pace in the 'Jhoot Nahin Bolna - Remix' by Akbar Sami.
