Way back in 1976, a young man from West Bengal impressed everybody and won himself the coveted National Award for the best actor, for his debut film Mrigya. Yes, it was Mithun Chakraborty, but despite several creditable performances later, he became a real star with B. Subhash's Disco Dancer, which established him as a dancing star and a hero of the masses. The songs of Disco Dancer became a rage and catapulted the music director Bappi Lahiri into the top league. Now, his son Mimoh is all set to display his dancing as well as acting prowess through Jimmy. Director Raj N. Sippy who has directed his father Mithun in films like Boxer, Baazi and Zahreela, has been entrusted with the task of directing Mimoh too, even though Raj is mostly remembered for the classic Amitabh Bachchan starrer Satte Pe Satta. Coming to his latest, three music directors, three lyricists and a host of top rated artists have been brought together for the music album of Jimmy. Let us check out their offering and see if it will help young Mimoh establish his foothold in this world of Bollywood.
There are four songs composed by Anand Raj Anand, whose 'Uncha Lamba Kad' from Welcome is still ruling the people's hearts.
The first number is 'Aaya Hoon'. Lovely female crooning in the background and nice guitar strumming commence the number, which appears to be a soft romantic track in the beginning, due to the arrangements. However, later on the number turns out to be peppy, dance cum romantic number. The tune is has been heard before and the music style is a mix of contemporary and retro ('70s). Kunal Ganjawala's singing and the chorus, "Come on baby, you are the one for me," is the highlight of this otherwise average track.
The second number composed by Anand Raj Anand is 'Why Not Jimmy'. It is a nice, synthesized piece. Rap and hard rock guitars commence this fast-paced dance number. The lyrics, which appear to be a wish list of the main lead is cute at times and apt too. It has all the elements of a nice dance number; totally western arrangements like the use of drums, guitar, saxophone, etc., and of course Shaan's vocals are always treat. Although, one wishes that ARA could have been more innovative and gone for a fresher tune and melody. |
