Kidnap |
The 'Krazzy 4' signature tune (starting part) and the usual rap commence one of the cutest and most endearing songs of the album, 'Haan Ji'. Adnan is in his element (his voice modulations superb) and all credit to Pritam for giving him a song, which utilizes his potential to the full. The song is sure to appeal universally as it is a sort of a composition that has made Adnan a household name. Mayur Puri deserves more than a pat on his back for those cute, humorous rip-roaring lyrics like, "India mein toh democracy. Ghar mein shohar ki aisi taisi, Yahan bhi chale biwion ki sarkar". The antara is inspired from 'Dhik Taana' ('Hum Aapke Hain Kaun'), but nonetheless Adnan's fans will lap it up.
'Race' signature tune and calypso drums commence 'Meri Ek Ada Shola'. The track is a let down especially as it comes from Pritam, the master of chartbusters. The Arabic rhythm, which he follows, was done to death in the seventies and eighties. As a result, the dance cum situational track is the most ordinary composition of the album. Pritam does a Laxmikant-Pyarelal (Subhash Ghai's 'Trimurti') with Sukhwinder's part, as the song gets over-dramatic and situational. Akriti Kakkar and Sunidhi try their best to raise the level of the song. The amazing thing about the track is that it is reminiscent of the seventies tense moment, climax song at the villain's den! However, the melodrama could have been dealt with in a better and a newer way.
Overall, the 'Kidnap' album can be termed good but not great. Pritam has mixed and matched many styles, not restricting himself to uni-directional compositions. The solo track, 'Mit Jaaye', by Vyas is quite good. Since most of the songs are somewhat situational (like those by the masters of this game Laxmi-Pyare), the album will Definitely become popular once more of the promos are out and of course, when the film releases.
Rating: 7/10 |
