Next up is 'Paagal Si Saari Lehrein', performed by Vikas Bhalla and Alka Yagnik. The mukhda seems to be a derivative of 'Yeh Pyaar hai', as far as the tune is concerned. But this is more raaga based, more Indian, as musical instruments like the 'dhol', 'daf', 'tabla' has been predominantly used. Good to hear the sweet-voiced Alka at her best. One time actor and pop singer, V.J Vikas Bhalla (who also plays a cameo in this film) does a fine job as the singer, but both Alka and Vikas are let down by an average composition.
One average track follows another. 'Tan Man/Marigold Erupts' is supposed to be a passionate love song but it lacks passion and fervor and S-E-L seem to be heavily inspired by Rahman's music from his earlier Hindi films. Even the talented Alka is screechy in parts. Vikas Bhalla, Sneha Pant and Nihira Joshi fail to rise above the so-so composition.
Nikita Nigam's clear, heart-touching vocals commence 'Sachha Pyaar/the Meaning Of Love', which at first appears to be a tragic love song, but after a while the lyrics as well as Nikita's singing style change and one realizes that its actually another love song. Once again Javed Sahab is class beyond compare (he stands out as far as romantic lyrics are concerned). The relaxed pace and the soft musical arrangements make this a good composition. |
