Jhoom Barabar Jhoom |
The second version of 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom' is more fun, masti and full dhamaal, compared to the slightly more philosophical first version. It is rendered by highly talented singers K.K., Sukhwinder Singh, Shankar Mahadevan and Mahalaxmi Iyer. It should come at an important juncture in the movie. The start is more boisterous, typical Punjabi folk style. Dhol sounds are more prominent, the lyrics in chaste Punjabi. The infectious harmonium piece, which can be labeled as the signature tune, forms the backbone of this version too and is so very dance inducing. And attention! 'Ba-adab'! 'Ba-mulaheza'! It does have a techno-qawwali feel to it, specially in the antaras. The song concludes on a very pacy note with all the four artists singing in unison and Shankar's high-pitched rendition is excellent.
The third version of 'JBJ' is very similar to the other versions in letter and spirit. It has been sung by Sunidhi, Zubeen and Shankar Mahadevan. The start and the ending is different from the above two versions though. Zubeen's fresh vocals and Sunidhi's excellent singing combine with Shankar to take this song to dizzying heights.
The fourth version is 'Jhoom Jam', which is a totally instrumental version dominated by desi percussions instruments, dhol, daf, etc. Once again, the deadly harmonium piece(this time non-synthesized)gives the extra zing to this collector's piece. An absolute delight.
