David - Anu sat on a wall...
Oh my goodness...what a great fall !!
This should be enough to summarize the lean patch both
of them seem to be going through. If Hum Kisi Se Kum
Nahin wasn't
enough, then music lovers are forced to undergo the
traumatic torture of Chor Machaye Shor. In your
wildest of dreams, do not
even think of any 'Le Jayenge Dilwale Dulhaniya Le
Jayenge' or 'Ghunghroo Ki Tarah'' from the 70's
namesake 'Chor Machaye
Shor' that starred Shashi Kapoor and Mumtaz. Instead
what we are subjected to is a plethora of insipid
numbers like 'Tum Tata
Ho Ya Birla' or 'Kaan Ke Neche Baja Daaloonga' from
this Rajiv Tolani production that has music by Anu
Malik and has a host
of lyricists. After Ajay Devgan(Hum Kisi Se Kam
Nahin), now it is Bobby Deol's turn to try his luck
with a comedy directed by
David Dhawan. Shilpa Shetty and Bipasha Basu-who is
considered as a lucky mascot with four hits in a row -
Ajanbee, Raaz,
Aankhen and Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai are Bobby's
costars.
Chalo, let's say something about the music also now.
As has been the case of 'Ye Hai Jalwa' and 'Ankhiyon
se Goli Maare'
this year, what Chor Machaye Shor also lacks in is
VARIETY. All songs sound familiar, there is not even a
single melodious
track and well-most of them have been HEARD BEFORE.
'Chhadh Gayi Chhadh Gayi' is an item number
choreographed on
Bobby Deol and Shilpa Shetty. High beats, jhatka
matkas and flashy dresses constitute this track
written by Tejpal Kaur.
Nothing special about this number which doesn't excite
even after repeated viewings.
'Aankhen Hai Teri Badi Badi' is sung by Udit Narayan
and Alka Yagnik voice-alike Dimple Verma. Again a
masala - jhataka -
patakha number, it fails to explode and is just OK.
Vinod Rathod and Anuradha Sriram seem to be more
excited than anyone
else when they render 'Tum Tata Ho Ya Birla'-an item
number written by (?) two lyricists Dev Kohli and
Minoo Singh. Strictly
for a select audience, it doesn't hold even faintest
of class appeal and is in one word - DUD.
Title number 'Chor Machaye Shor' by Sonu Nigam is no
great shakes either. Newcomer Farhad writes for this
track which is
again no more than a time pass. This is a song about a
'chor' who dreams of being BIG one fine day. Duo of
Vinod Rathod and
Anuradha Sriram return with 'Kaan Ke Neeche Baja
Daaloonga'(Sick!!) Lyrics are down market here and the
song qualifies for
yet another tapori entry for the dismal 2002.
Well, all is not lost yet and there is something to
hum about with the last song of the album - 'Ishqan
Ishqan Ho Gayi' by Tejpal
Kaur. Dunno whether the lyrics are syntactically and
semantically correct, but the musical arrangements,
oomphy Shilpa
Shetty and Adnan's and Sunidhi's vocals make it a
well-packaged track.
This is all that Chor Machaye Shor comprises of. An
album which is very much forgettable, very much below
average and very
much AVOIDABLE. Incidentally only thing different and
pleasant about the album is the cover design which is
glossy and set
in a fun mood !!!
