Dostana |
The superb start leads to another winner in form of 'Jaane Kyun' which could have been better called 'I'll be alright.' A light, breezy situational number that embodies the true spirit of friendship and can be classified as the theme song. The composer (Vishal) himself comes behind the mike for the theme track and he is awesome. The lyrics by Anvita Dutt Guptan are simple yet they convey the message of friendship and companionship, no dramatics like the 'Yeh dosti stuff' or even 'Salamat rahe dostana hamara' here. V-S go light on the arrangements making the orchestration more subtle with just a touch of light classical jazz with some Blues touch, hinging more on the guitar and its variants. A pure listener's delight that will be used as a background score highlighting the friendship of the two male stars.
Soft caressing guitar strums usher in easily the best composition of the album, 'Khabar Nahin'. The hauntingly beautiful composition is a rare gem, one that will linger long in the memories of its patrons. The excellent 'mukhda' which is all sufi is its heart, and Amanat Ali and Vishal Dadlani's rendition, the soul of the song and together they create a deliriously devotional number. It will not be wrong to say that V-S are the best when it comes to sufi based compositions and this number is a testimony to the fact. A liberal peppering of English lyrics keeping the youth as well as the Overseas factor in mind and once again fuses with its Hindi counterparts and balances the song, and it does not appear forced. Put in repeat mode and feast on you love birds and die hard romantics. |
