One, Two, Three |
After presenting us with four uniquely different versions of the title track, its time to go on a romantic date with 'Gup Chup'. Strange sounding, a deep male voice saying "Gup Chup" commences the don't-leave-me-yet track. The initial hip hop gives way to a lovely romantic, pining for the beloved number, as Mahalaxmi Aiyer's expressive singing takes over. But the highlight of the track is Raghav joining in the mukhda with his unique trademark style, bordering more on melody as he goes, "Abhi abhi to aayee ho. Abhi to bahon mein ayee ho. Abhi to dil mein samayee ho, na ja, na ja." The antara has shades of his 'Kabul Fiza' track, which does not suit the mukhda at all, hence the song appears jerky at places.
'Gup Chup-Remix' has Shilpa Rao replacing Mahalaxmi Aiyer in this pacier but slightly peppier version.
The only run of the mill composition, 'I Wanna Guy' goes surprisingly to the (dis)credit of Sunidhi Chauhan, due to no fault of her own. She tries her level best to pep up the number with her innovative singing style, but it's the composition that lets her down. The song is a situational one about a young girl fantasizing about her would be and her aspirations and expectations.
After one situational track we have another in the form of 'Lakshmi Narayan'. The composition can rightly be termed the theme song, as the focal points of the film are its three main male leads who share the same name. As the tag line goes –"Same name dangerous game". So obviously the track assumes importance as it fits in nicely with the scheme of things, and carries the narrative as well (some comic dialogues from the film are also used) as the light comic mood of the film. Raghav yet again shows his class. Ninad Kamat, an able character artist, does well as a singer, as he conveys the message through some innovative singing. |
