Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag |
Amitabh Bachchan and Holi numbers are inseparable. Some of the memorable ones have been sung and enacted by the living legend himself. So we would have preferred it if Bachchan's rich, baritone vocals, would have heralded this festive one. This track by Prasanna Shekhar is a typical fun, ched-chaad number that fails to rise above the high standards set by the evergreen Bachchan's Holi numbers. More over, it has a strong resemblance to 'Rangeela Chala', a Holi song from the Rajesh Khanna starrer 'Zamana' (1985) . Being a situational number, we expected more ched-chaad with the bhabhi! Lyrics by Sharim Momin are once again commendable.
Is it the starting piece from 'Don 2' signature tune or is it the James Bond signature tune? No, neither of the two. Rather, it is the friendship, camaraderie song, 'Jee Le', by Prasanna Shekhar. The song signifies the carefree, live–for–the moment attitude of the male protagonists. Yet, it is once again let down by a very 'heard-before-tune', that fails to make an impression on the listeners. And more so, when compared to the benchmark set by the iconic, friendship number 'Yeh Dosti' from Sholay, it just fades away.
Soothing sitar and synthesized music commences 'Cha Raha'. A passionate, romantic composition, the shades of which are reminiscent of the 'Aa Aa Ee' track from Govinda-David Dhawan's 'Raja Babu'. The track is composed by Nitin Raikwar, who became famous for his tapori lyrics in 'Aati Kya Khandala'. Shweta Pandit is screechy in higher octaves, though one must commend Vinod Rathod for an excellent rendition. |
