Slapstick plots, tongue in cheek situations and zippy music, is what
characterizes the movies directed by David Dhawan. Vashu Bhagnani's
Shaadi No.1, is yet another quintessential quickie from the effervescent
David Dhawan stable, sans his self-proclaimed, Hero No.1, Govinda, but stars a
line-up of assorted actors ranging
 from
Sanjay Dutt to Fardeen and Zayed Khan, Sharman Joshi, Esha Deol, Ayesha
Takiya, Riya Sen, Soha Ali Khan, Aarti Chabaria and VJ Sophie. Its Anu
Malik again after 'No Entry', with almost a similar flavor of music
spilled over. Lyrically, Shabbir Ahmed single handedly manages to
side-splittingly pen, all the six original tracks of the compilation with, after
a long time though, absolutely NO REMIXES.
Based on absolute infidelity amongst lovers, the initial track sets the mood for
an archetypal David Dhawan-Anu Malik miscellany. 'Tu ek baar jo haan
kehde to pehli wali chhod dunga', is what Abhijeet says to Anuradha Sriram
and gets back the same in return. The track with such an agile tune and
uproarious lingo should not really disappoint Anu Maliks fans. Well, only if
they listen, laugh, and let go.
 A
stanch comparison between the TV channels and wives forms the basis of this
track that goes 'Jitne channel TV utne nakhre biwi ke'. Sonu Nigam,
Krishna and chorus entertainingly execute this track, as each expression is
amusing as ever. However, the tune trounces due to a limited melodious content,
and greater emphasis on lyrics.
With 'God promise dil bola' the Indian Idol hysteria finally pays off for
the runner up Rahul Vaidya, as he bags a nippy duet with the melodious
Shreya Ghoshal. Read the credits twice to make sure its not Sonu Nigam, it
is indeed Rahul Vaidya, who almost always sounds like his singer idol
Sonu Nigam. Coming back to the track, there is not much difference between this
one and the previous two, as all three belong to the same genre, but this one
scores on melody.
 Brace
yourself for yet another amusing lyrical that goes 'Hello Madam, I am your
Adam' that once again has Rahul Vaidya, this time with yet another Indian
Idol finalist Prajakta Shukre. Must say, both kids sound exceptionally
professional and like seasoned singers, and this is truer for Prajakta.
Quite entertaining and fun-filled, the track is one of the better ones on the
album.
Shaan is all smiles along with Sunidhi in 'Dil nahin toda karte'.
The track has some meaningful lyrics (for a change), tunefully conveyed in
absolute harmonies, by the youthful vocalization of Shaan and Sunidhi.
DJs Aqueel-Sanjeev concludes the album with the title track that goes
'Aiyashi Aiyashi'. Shaan and the DJ duo sing and rap for the hip-hop
dance track that is dedicated to the nocturnal.
While, Dhawan has already hit a double whammy with 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' (Nadeem
Shravan) in 2004 and 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya' (Himesh Reshammiya) in 2005,
'Shaadi No.1', due to its averaging melodies may, unfortunately not get him
a hat trick. |
