Laaga Chunari Mein Daag |
Nice guitar strumming paves way for a light, fun filled love song 'Ik Teekhi Teekhi Si Ladki'. It is a song that is highly inspired by the charming, super hit number from Kishore da's ('Chalti Ka Naam Gadi'), 'Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhagi Si'. Nevertheless, a cute little number. The USP of the number are some really sweet and humorous lyrics (Gulzar style). The first number 'Hum to Aise Hain Bhaiya' has also been used well and it serves to spice up the number. K. K. and Shreya are superb as usual, though one would have preferred Sonu here, as this number is more up his alley.
Rekha Bhardwaj was last heard in Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Omkara' composition 'Lakad', which, like this next number, has the North Indian dialect and flavour written largely all over it. It's a delight hearing her deliver the classical 'Ek Thaiyaa Motiya' in her characteristic slow drawl style. The lovely Indian musical instruments, loke, the tabla, harmonium, sitar, all suggest that this is a mujra, albeit a very classy one. The kinds that the nawabs, lords and the kings relished in their courts through nautch girls. It can be classified as a folk song too, from the North as the lyrics suggest. "Ek thaiyaa motiya heray gaily rama, Kahwa main dhoondhoon, Nathni se moti kahin gir gaya rama, Kahwa main dhoondhoon". It's the North Indian version of the Punjabi folk song 'Laung Gawacha'. |
