Fool N Final |
Since the pace was already too fast and good enough for dancing, there was absolutely no need for the 'Sigdi - Remix' by Hanif Shaikh. It is just a space filler.
Is the next track 'Yeh Dooriyan' an ode to Shakira by Himesh? Sameer's lyrics (in the mukhda) are hard to understand. Is it Tamil or Telugu or what? Even if we set aside these confusions, this is a pretty ordinary dance track, which even Shahid Kapoor's gyrations cannot lift. The only thing that stands out is Hanif Shaikh's singing. He has a nice, sweet voice (but alas, bad diction), though he needed a better composition to showcase his talent.
The 'Yeh Dooriyan - Remix' by Hanif Shaikh is better than the original. The pace is just suited for shaking a leg or two, though nothing great.
Himesh's favourite remixer Akbar Sami, along with Jatin surfaces in the last track of the album 'FNF Masti - Remix'. True to its title, it is full of masti, a cocktail of (some of the portions) all the songs in the album, superbly blended together. The remix commences with the 'Tere Layee' tune and then all hell breaks loose, as the crazy frog inspired remix of the golden classic 'Jo Wada Kiya Wo' from 'Taj Mahal' is unleashed. It's really wacky and funny, keeping up with the comic flavour of the movie. It can be used as a promotional music video to a good effect or during titles.
All in all, the audio of 'Fool N Final' may not have us critics swooning, (most "big" critics always put down Himesh albums!), but given the kind of music that Firoz Nadiadwala requires, it seems like Himesh has done it again. If you don't believe us, ask the earlier regular, the Indian Idol spoiled (but still very talented) Annu Malik, as to why he has been having sleepless nights. The audio may not have scorched the charts but once 'Fool N Final' releases, the situational album is bound to sell.
