Om Shanti Om |
'Dard-E-Disco (Remix)', by DJ Aqeel has all the right ingredients needed for a good rehash and will serve its purpose of burning the dance floors of the pubs and the discos with its heightened pace. A nice effort.
Moving on, we reach 'Dhoom Taana' and the duff, anklet, woodwind and other traditional percussion instruments remind one of 'Sargam' days of melody and dance (Rishi Kapoor and Jaya Prada). The arrangements, lyrics and settings are based in not just 70s but early 80s. There are also a few jazz snatches (maybe a Shammi Kapoor touch). While Abhijeet is the perfect choice with his flawless rendition, Shreya gets high pitched in a few parts. This is the song that has been composed by the legendary composer, Pyarelal (of 'Laxmi-Pyare' fame) the song will look and sound better on screen.
Jaltarang and piano combine magically, followed by bead sounds, accompanying Sonu Nigam's silken smooth, Rafi like rendition. Yes, we have now reached 'Main Agar Kahoon'. Javed Akhtar's lyrics combined with Sonu's extraordinary singing create an almost bewitching romantic duet (with an in form Shreya). The two stars of the outstanding 'Main Agar Kahoon' are Javed Akhtar's lyrics and Sonu Nigam's singing. Right now, we cannot bring in Sonu but here are some of Javed Sahab's lyrics – "Tumko paya hai to jaise khoya hoon, Kahna chahoon bhi to tumse kya kahoon, Kisi zabaan mein bhi, Woh lafz hee nahin, Ki jinme tum ho kya tumhein bata sakoon , Main agar kahoon, Tumsa haseen, Kaynaat mein nahin hai kahin." A nostalgic throwback to the golden era of late Mohammad Rafi-Roshan days! The number concludes with the 'Om Shanti Om' theme music. |
