'Electro Mix' is beautifully done by Akbar Sami but it's the 'Indian Mix' that is simply breathtaking. The shehnai rhythm that he used so effectively which had the entire nation swinging in 'Jhalak Dikhlaja' (Aksar) too makes an appearance. The fusion of western beats with Indian arrangements is mind-blowing.
Some nice soothing guitar beats lead to a scorching party number 'Tandoori Nights'. Do not be mislead by its title (which might sound odd) as it is another hit track by Himesh. Do you ask why? Well, the answer is simple. Himesh is doing what he is best at - rehashing his old hits tracks, and we all know that his fans love it. But what must be added here is that the background rhythm is deadly. The rap and reggae portions and the English quotient add to its universal appeal. The 'antara' leads us back to the sixties (a ploy Himesh used well in his earlier hits). Sunidhi makes a perfect entry and with Himesh at his nasal best and the song is bound to make an appearance at the charts and clubs.
'Tandoori Nights-Club and Lounge Mix' by Akbar Sami is once again intended as a dance track and serves as a mere space filler.
The party mood gives way to the intense love ballad 'Soniye Je Tere'. Bollywood's most happening rapper Earl D'Souza commences the proceedings with some superb rapping which conjoins with some nice, traditional rhythm. That gives us a good track that will be lapped up by the masses. The only problem with it is that the whole melody (which is simply superb) is inspired by 'O Meri Jaan' (Manzil-Manzil) featuring Sunny Deol and Dimple Kapadia. Just the rap portions and arrangements differ. It's a duet and so we have Tulsi Kumar giving company to Himesh. Tulsi has matured as a singer and she does an able job. The 'mukhda' as well as 'antara' is difficult to render as the song requires each to be sung in different pitches, but both the singers are up to the task.
'Soniye Je Tere-Club and Lounge Mix' is once again by Akbar Sami. There was absolutely no need for this, as the original shouldn't have been touched in the first place. The intensity of love in the ballad goes for a spin and the effect is lost. |
