The second number by Bappa is 'Do Minute Mein' is better than the first. A nice, breezy youthful propositioning number, which sounds extra nice as a result of some lovely rendition by the prince of romantic numbers, Shaan. The lovely use of percussion instruments and electronic flute show that Bappa has the talent, he just needs some time and nurturing from his father.
The album ends on a sour note with Vijay Varma's only composition 'Yeh Hai Meri Dastaan'. The song itself is nice, but honestly speaking Vijay is a terrible singer. He goes overboard and tries too much. As a result, it sounds pathetic. Maybe if some accomplished singer would have sung the song the result would be different. However, even that would not have saved this below average track. Yes, at least the song would not have been a torture to the ears. The number is a tragic love song where the lead character, in a stage performance, is trying to convey to the world his tragic love story.
On the whole, the music of Jimmy is plain average. Even the talented Anand Raj Anand and singers of the caliber of Kailash Kher, Shaan and Kunal Ganjawala fail to do it any good. It is sad that the music belongs to the film, which is supposed to be the launching pad of the son of one of the most versatile actors of our times, Mithun Da. At least for his sake, the music directors could have put in that extra effort and zing to produce something special for his son.
