Showbiz marks the debut of Tushar Jalota, nephew of the legendary "bhajan" singer, Anoop Jalota, under the able guidance of the Bhatt banner. The Bhatts have been instrumental in introducing a number of stars in Bollywood, be it Rahul Roy, Emraan Hashmi or John Abraham. The success of all their ventures have relied upon one single factor, popular, mass pleasing and yet good quality music. Be it Aashiqui, which saw Rahul Roy emerge as a star, Jism gave us John Abraham and Murder heralded a new star, Emraan Hashmi.
In this film, Showbiz, the music department has been handled by Lalit Pandit (of the Jatin-Lalit fame), and Bhatt's permanent lyricist, Sayeed Quadri. So let us check out this latest offering from the Bhatt camp.
Light guitar strumming and canned applause commence, 'Tu Mujhse Jabse Mila Hai', rendered by K.K. The canned applause suggests that it may be a stage performance number and as a result one expected the song to be more vibrant and energetic. Yet that is not the case. Even though the song is quite melodious, the rhythm is flat. Even Sayeed Quadri's lyrics are very routine. This number just doesn't make one sit up and hum. Seems like Lalit Pandit is still in the 80s era, where flat melody was the demand of the situation. Even K.K. fails to deliver despite trying his level best. Quite a mediocre number first up.
A rock-like start, along with a rap by Earl, which goes something like this - "Lets do it tonight, while the world is asleep," commences the next version, which can be classified as a remix. The flat rhythm and pace persists and that's where the problem lies. Earl's rap doesn't help the cause much. |
