Jab We Met |
And as if to say that Pritam has heard us, the next number 'Aao Milo Chalo' has Shaan as the lead singer. After the racy and happening, 'Allah Hafiz', from 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa', Pritam composes another one, with almost a similar theme (yes, this one is a tad on the romantic side). As the movie is about two wanderers on a journey, their chance meeting and interactions, this is a situational track, (which should be played in the background) complete with words like "manzil" and "raaste". Ustad Sultan Khan's classical interludes are simply classes apart and their smooth fusion with the main song serves to spice up the track.
Light guitar string sounds and Ustad Rashid Khan's alaap, along with some lovely flute notes commence 'Aaoge Jab Tum', the composition by the guest composer, Sandesh Shandilya. He sure delivers a 24-carat gem with this absolutely divine composition. Ustad Rashid Khan's skillful, emotive and effortless rendition, along with some lovely lyrics make this a delightful track. "Naina tere kajrare hain, Nainon pe hum dil hare hain, Anjane hi tere nainon ne, Waade kiye kaee saare hain, Saason ki lai, Madhyam chale, Barse ga saawan, Jhoom Ke, Aaoge jab tum saajana". But Sandesh seems to be inspired by the Talat Aziz's masterpiece "Ghar Ke Ujiare" (from Mahesh Bhatt's critically acclaimed 'Daddy') as the mukhda has shades of the above mentioned, highly sentimental, emotional track.
'Ye Ishq Hai' is the song that has been picturised in the beautiful ancient Naggar Fort, and around exotic locales of the popular tourist town, Manali, with Kareena donning the Kullu dress and dancing along with local dancers. Yet, one wishes that the song was as original as the beautiful locales, as this number is a blatant rehash of Pritam's very own "Mahiya" number from the recently released 'Aawarapan'. Even the style of singing (by Shreya) is the same, and one is at a total loss to understand as to why Pritam has resorted to this. |
