Undoubtedly one of the hottest films releasing in the second half of the year, Sanjay Gadhvi's 'Kidnap' brings back the new teenage sensation, Aamir Khan's nephew, Imran Khan (after the blockbuster 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'), along with hotshot, the still deadly - Dutt! Sanjay Gadhavi's films (the 'Dhoom' series) have always harped on the thriller aspect in terms of music (much like his films), of which the Pritam-Mayur-Puri team has been an integral part. The year has been a good one for Pritam with his 'Race', 'Jannat' and 'Singh Is Kinng' weighing in as super-hits and the decent 'Kismet Konnection'. So, let us check it out and see if Pritam is able to match/better his earlier success with this album.
The album starts with 'Mit Jaaye' that can be termed as the theme song, as it carries the mood and spirit of the film in it. The guest composer, Sandeep Vyas walks down memory lane, but this time trudges the hitherto (recently) untouched path as the rhythm pattern is similar to Kalyanji Anandji's style, the most apparent one being 'Zindagi Mein Kabhi Darna Nahin', from the Feroz Khan starrer, 'Khote Sikke'. However, leaving aside the rhythm, the orchestration is simply fabulous and the suspense and edge of the seat thrills are conveyed very well by it. Sandeep Vyas's base, yet pleasant to the ears vocals, carry the die-hard attitude of the main protagonist very well.
Unfortunately, Sandeep lacks good diction (which is a rarity in today's times). Sanjeev Vyas' lyrics (although filmy and heard before) are able to convey the feeling of revenge and the fight for what is right. "Sone ki sadkon pe, Chalta raha tanke, Kaante bichhe ab hain, Saya tera banke, Gham ke andherein hain, Ujde savere hain, Peechhe salaakhon ke, Kyon khwab mere hain". The song should be used only in the background and its music arrangements would naturally play a big part in the taut action sequences. 'Mit Jaaye-Rock Version', as the title suggests, the track is laced with hard-rock styled guitar, and drums, which makes the number even more racy and pulsating. |
