Moving on to the next track, 'Namakool'(meaning fool/idiot in Urdu) literally had us fooled, as we thought that it was the starting portions of the still rocking title track from the super hit 'Partner'. Of course, Pritam is not a namakool, so we know that it's a definite coincidence. So it turns out to be, as later, the track changes completely, taking the shape of a carefree, lively situational track. It's nice to hear Ganjawala back after a short time and of course, Shaan, both of whom have such fresh and sweet voices. Ashish Pandit's lyrics are as per the demand of the script, and depict the characters of the male lead protagonists well.
'Bheega Asmaan' has trademark Pritam's musical arrangements, the sort that he keeps reserved for Abbas-Mustan's thrillers (case in point, 'Naqaab'). A super fast, passion-filled composition, the lovely male chorus in the background only enhances the effect. Shaan is superb as always. Vijay Yesudas is a good singer and does well here.
Two time national award winner for the best female singer, Shreya Ghoshal, proves yet again that she deserves all the awards and accolades with her flawless rendition of 'Dil Liya, Dil Liya'. Its a solo love song. One can describe it as a seduction number too. Lyrics are routine, so are the arrangements, but Shreya manages to lift this average number with her lovely singing.
Some very good rapping, reggae styled singing and synthesized rhythm extends a warm welcome to our all-time- favourite singer, the rarely heard (except in concerts and at charity functions), but highly versatile , the original Pop Diva, Usha Uthup! 'All Night Long' is just the kind of composition that Usha simply relishes and needless to add, delivers to perfection. The English-cum-Hindi mix, the racy beats all combined together makes it another good party track, the sort that people would love to dance to in functions. Yet once again, the antara is a straight lift (sorry to say), from the antara of the classy, Aage Bhi Jaane Na Tu, from B. R. Chopra's classic, 'Waqt'. |
