Welcome |
After two disappointing tracks by Himesh, it's the turn of Sajid-Wajid, fresh from the blockbuster success of their last film, 'Partner'. Like the title track of 'Partner', this track too carries the mood and flavour of the movie. The comedy element, which is the genre of the movie has been dealt with perfectly through this piece. The starting piece, a la Crazy Frog , is indeed funny and provides the perfect beginning. The tune of the composition is reggae, and this forms the backbone of the whole song. Massive orchestral arrangements like the brass band sounds, the trumpets, saxophone, (giving it a jazz feel) along with lovely use of drums, plates and percussion instruments, all combine together to make this a title song, that should be loved by one and all. All the singers, like Shaan, Soumya Raoh and Wajid himself put in their best. And knowing Firoz, one can rest assured that this song will be made into a lavish promotional video, featuring all the stars.
Just like the music of the previous Aneez Bazmee blockbuster, 'No Entry', which apparently had only one hit track, its title track, and a few decent numbers, the music of 'Welcome' too is a routine commercial fare. And despite the presence of three extremely talented composers, the album is a let down. But it will surely hit the charts as a result of aggressive publicity and above all due to Mr. Consistent, Akshay Kumar weaving his magic at the box-office. Though it will have a limited shelf life, but the commercially (not critically) viable music is already moving up the charts (especially 'Uncha Lamba') and will surely help the cause of the movie at the box-office.
