Aaja Nachle |
The 'Nachle-Reprise' is the remixed version and surprisingly a very good one. The been sounds, banjo piece and other traditional instruments combine beautifully with western sounds and beats. This version should be patronized by the youth, who may not find the original much to their taste.
Good to hear is the extremely talented pair of Sonu and Shreya, (whose pair was once the numero-uno of romantic numbers) back together for this nice love ballad 'Ishq Hua', a type of composition that we are used to hearing in many Yash Chopra-Karan Johar, Shah Rukh Khan movies. Salim-Sulaiman offer us nothing new in terms of musical arrangements or tune. Even the lyrics (for once) by Jaideep Sahni are routine and nothing novel has been done on this front either. Nonetheless, its worth a hear for old times sake.
Just as we were complaining that the genius, Jaideep Sahni, offers us nothing new in terms of lyrics, he conjures up some extremely zany but apt and simple, identifiable lyrics in the situational 'Show Me Your Jalwa'. Sample these humorous lyrics –"Tere chammach, Tere chaaku, Tere belan, Tere ghungroo, Teri mamta, Tere zever, Teri khushboo, Tere tevar". Well, enough said about the lyrics, let's come to the song which has the likes of Richa Sharma, Kailash Kher and Salim Merchant behind the microphone. The song has a very North Indian, small town flavour to it (a prerequisite in the movie, as this is where the movie is based), with a folksong touch, riding high and sung with immense zeal and vigour by the lead singers. Kailash Kher surpasses all and his intermittent "Zamaane ko fida karde, Tujhe sabse juda karde, Dikha de humein teri khoobiyaan" can be termed as the highlight portion of the song. Quite an unique number which will only be appreciated and understood in the context of the movie. |
