Shootout At Lokhandwala |
Some lovely piano notes and Bilal's soft, heart touching vocals commence 'Aakhri Alvida'. A beautiful guitar piece with drums and plates in the midst, along with the String duo's crescendo singing as they go "Yeh aakhri alvida na ho", is absolutely mindblasting. This unique method of a gradual build up of the crescendo is very typical of the band. Remember their hit 'Sar kiye ye pahad'? Anwar Maqsood's lyrics are hard hitting and in keeping with the mood of the movie. His lyrics go -"Dhadkanein khamosh hain, Kuch kahti nahin, Ye aakhri alvida na ho, Chahtein aakhon se bahti nahin, Ye aakhri alvida na ho." This composition has been used as a promotional video, featuring the band and the lead artists. Their loyal fans, as well as those with a taste for good music will surely savour this delicacy.
'Aakhri Alvida - Club Mix', is a superb job done by DJ Naved and Nikhil Chinappa. They have succeeded in converting this gem of an original into a good club number.
Music Director Biddu is known to the present generation only for his still rocking 'Aap Jaisa Koi' ('Qurbani'), picturised on the sultry siren Zeenat and the very dashing Firoz Khan. This time he is back, not only as a composer but as a singer too in 'Live By The Gun', which appears twice in this album. The second one is much the same and just a space-filler. A very hard-hitting, appropriate, situational track, which gels well with the gangster theme of movie. An all English, true blue style number, with the "smack-in-your face" lyrics, and Biddu's extremely base voice conveying the message clear and sharp - Crime never pays!
