The queen of item numbers, Sunidhi Chauhan returns once again behind the microphone for the classy, hip shaking dance number, 'Oop Oop Cha', where she is supported by Nandini Srikar. The song is sure to set the clubs, pubs and discos on fire. The song features twice in the album. The second one is just a space filler, but who minds! The start of the song is very interesting and different with lots of metallic sounds and synthesized notes, giving way to a superb rhythmic mukhda, 'Oop Oop Cha'. The composer Ashu sure knows his music well and has created a unique dance track. The superb metallic flute notes in the background, along with nice, hard calypso drumming (Afrikaana sounds) is the high-light of the track. It has been excellently enacted and danced to by Priyanka, who sure looks hot in the promos. What is unique and praise-worthy about the item number is that it is not cheap or based on love like most of the dance tracks are today. In fact, it is inspiring and encouraging and Sunidhi puts lots of feeling and attitude to some hat ke lyrics by Vaibhav Modi (which may act as a dampener for the general public).
Soft sitar and tabla sounds commence one of the most enchanting romantic, love ballads of the year, the petal soft 'Bandagi'. All those die-hard romantics still feasting on 'Teri Ore' ('Singh Is Kinng') get ready for 'Bandagi', as it will definitely liven up the emotions.
The composer has dared to choose Sunidhi (mostly heard in item numbers) and she proves true to the faith that has been entrusted in her with a superb rendition. Roop Kumar Rathod gets to render a number true to his potential and he shows his mettle through some high quality singing. The semi-classical part of the song, as well as the mukhda, is the USP of the track. After a long time (since 'Dholna' from 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa') we have heard an excellent, totally Hindustani composition. The use of Indian musical instruments like flute, sitar, jaltarang, and tabla are a delight to the ears. The track also boasts some superb jugalbandi and background alaaps. |
