After the racy title track, its time to go lovey dovey with 'Pehli Nazar Mein' . And who better than the king of romantic numbers, Atif Aslam, to render the spellbinding composition. Atif is simply mindblowing as he weaves a magical spell with his passionate and caressing vocals. It's his rendition ('adaaiygi') that makes the song so special. Romance is in the air with Valentine Day round the corner and the song should serve as a perfect love ballad for all the romantics at heart, who wish to serenade their beloved. But the only sore point, yes, Pritam has done it again! The song is a total rehash of Korean singer Kim Hyung Sup's "Sarang Haeyo". Now, that is inexcusable.
Next up is 'Mujh Pe To Jadoo', rendered by great names of UK Indi Pop, like Taz, from Stereo nation and the rap artist, Apache Indian. Giving them company is Sunidhi Chauhan. All of them come together for a nice, slightly 'hatke' festive number, which is a good mix of Punjabi, English and Hindi. The 'Bhangra' style has not been over used, and the fusion with pop is also unique and pleasantly different. The 'mukhda', "Chori chori ankhiyan ne" is rehashed from Pritam's own "Sakhiyan" ( 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa'). However, it is only for a short span, but the rest of the song is definitely good and since it is situational, it will become popular only after the movie hits the screen.
We had a party cum dance song in Dhoom, 'Salaame', another one in 'Dhoom:2' 'Dil Laga Na', and the next number 'Dekho Nashe Mein' appears to be an extension of the same. Pritam can be excused here as the situation seems similar. And he has done a good job yet again. The super fast, extremely rhythmic number, bordering slightly on Latino musical addendums and lovely use of percussion is capable of rocking the dance floor. Pritam hires the services of the best in business, Shaan, K.K & Sunidhi and they create 'dhamaal' through the number . But what must be added here is that the tune is a very heard before one, which is somewhat of a let down.
'Dekho Nashe Mein-Latin Feista Mix', like its title has a very carnival feel to it, with high touches of Latino music (the Flamingo dance type) beats, foot tapping sounds and also the Salsa touch is present. Some lovely synthesized rhythm in the background makes it a good version. |
