They move with time and the time moves with them.
The repertoire of panache and fashion to entice the youth across the nations is
more than evident in every aspect of movie making of this hip n hop
love flick. Producer Aditya Chopra confidently relies on his younger
sibling Uday Chopra to play the naughty flirtatious character of Neal and
Kajols baby sis Tanisha, who has finally gotten rid of all the baby fat and
become fit to carry off the paradoxical innocence and lan of the young vivacious
character of Nikki.
Music composers, Salim-Sulaiman (S&S) are entrusted the job of conveying
the crux of the movie through the most important element of a Yashraj movie
the music.
The title track is quite a winner already. A spry
conversational that illustrates the characterization of the two central
characters where they tunefully convey their personalities citing examples of
their first crushes and exploring possibilities of their togetherness, while
being all praises for their own selves. Kudos to the entire music team for
making the track so tuneful, characterizing, and entertaining all at the same
time. Sure enough, they cannot get enough of this and consequently the swift and
racy N n N. The Naughty Mix, that sure does some value addition.
East meets west in this indo western sort of track Halla Re, where the
loud melody harmonizes with some compulsive rapping by Robert Bob Omolu in
English in the milieu and dancing becomes almost inevitable on this one.
Shweta Pandit is impressive for her quality voice and music director Salim
is barely distinguishable in a teeming, yet impressive chorus. Lyrically, the
track is just fine and Irshad Kamil’s the man.
Masters of melody, Sonu Nigam and Mahalaxmi Iyer
team up for a sinuous experience in I’m in love. In a bid to keep the Uber
Cool feel of movie going, Clinton & Dominique Cerejo are roped in, to
throw in a line or two in angrezi, which does not harm. Lyricist Anvita Dutt
Guptan etches near perfect lyrics for a decent melody that deserves a hearing.
What is a Yashraj movie without a folksy Punjabi track? Ankh Ladiye
serves the purpose where the young singer brigade of Kunal Ganjawal, Shweta
Pandit and highly underrated but extremely gifted Javed Ali, band together.
Chorus in English and the track in total Punjabi is the interesting contrast
that lyricist Anvita Dutt Guptan manages to skillfully balance on a foot tapping
melody by S&S that leaves dance mongers panting for more.
All English and No Hindi in the romantic melody I Just Wanna Spend My Life With
You, featuring Clinton & Dominique Cerejo, where like one of the lines inscribed
by Asif Ali Beg, Music takes control. One can expect an on screen intimacy;
covering maximum of the much-touted myriad kissing in the movie, that would give
a run for their monies to all the Hashmis and Sherawats.
Comparing this compilation to the previous Yashraj musical blockbusters would be
unfair, not to this one, but to the ones compared with. The music is good enough
to sustain the movie through the initial few days before and after the release,
but not something that can be totally counted on. |
