The next number 'Teetar' is by Tauseef Akhtar and he is a relative newcomer in the music world, but alas, his composition is a total disappointment. The opening harmonium piece is a complete rip off from 'Brij ki dopahri mein paon jale hai' (Karishma -Govinda) and the song itself is inspired by a number of other songs like 'Tooti khidki' (Yaad Rakhegi Duniya). Again, the composer wastes great talents like Sukhwinder Singh and Vasundhara Das. The sedate music arrangements comprising of guitar, drums and beads along with some equally sedate singing is the redeeming feature of the number.
'Teetar-Remix' is by the music director Tauseef Akhtar and he does show some potential here as an arranger. His remixed version has more life infused in it than the original, though his choice of the tune itself remains a mystery as to why he chose this average '80s rhythm, which did not work during those times too.
Tauseef gets a chance to redeem himself with his next number 'Samandar' and has at his services popular singer like Neeraj Shridhar riding high after a string of chartbusters along with Suzanne D'mello, who mostly croons in English in the background. That is exactly what Suzanne does here as well, but this time it's with the main song. Neeraj performs well in this flirtatious, propositioning number and the song is a bit better than the other two. The music arrangements, which see a lovely combination of guitar and plates sounds, accompanied by drums and beads along with dispersed vocals in English are good. Yet once again, the antara has a heard before tune.
The second version of 'Samandar' is an all girl show, as Swata Mohanty and Suzanne D'mello take over, but Swata simply does not have the charm of Neeraj, (taking nothing away from Swata) even though she sings with ease. |
