'Vote For Sattarbhai' is once again a lovable, tapori track that is entirely situational and goes to prove that the composer is more adept at these types of humorous tracks. A number in the same corridor as 'Ae Ganpat', will be lapped up by the patrons of these types of compositions. Sung in a tapori style in Mumbaiya lingo, character artist Ninaad Kaamat comes behind the microphone once again and does a commendable job (after One Two Three). The lyricist Amar Valentine does a good job of creating situations that add to the mood of the song. Indeed, a good way of asking for votes. It's a number that will be a delight to watch on screen and we must add that it makes the movie all the more eagerly awaited. The highlight is the mimicry attempt of various actors like, Mithun Chakraborty, Shakti Kapoor and Shatrughan Sinha that is done in a classy manner in order to ask for vote for their beloved Sattarbhai (obviously played by Sanjay Dutt).
'Aaja Aa Bhi Ja' as the title suggests is mushy, missing the beloved number that is quite pleasing to the ears due to its fast pace and Shaan's exuberant singing and back up vocals by Suzan and Rishi. Relying more on synthesizers and percussion instruments the song is just about okay. The English chorus in the background is reminiscent of the 'Ae Ganpat' (Come on, Come on) track and the lyrics by Hamza Farooqui too are heard before, very routine.
The album ends on a romantic note with a soft, mushy, slow drawl composition and it appears that Mohit Chauhan is now getting typecast (rather 'vocalcast'!) and is being asked to render songs on the same lines as 'Tum Se Hi' (Jab We Met). Soft guitar strummings, piano piece and Mohit's baritone, slightly inebriated vocals add to the dreamy interlude of the song. The use of mouth organ and whistle along with some simple lyrics by Sarim Momim make this a decent love ballad, though it is highly unlikely that the song will become as popular as its original on which it is based or may be inspired.
To cut a long story short, the soundtrack of EMI is an average effort (barring the title track, EMI and to an extent 'Chori Chori') which will bear fruits only if the movie succeeds at the turnstile because the songs (though good) are situational and can be appreciated only in the context of the film.
Rating: 6.5/10 |
