If only two-three average songs could help an album
stay afloat, then the music industry would have been a
better place to survive in!! Four lyricists (Faaiz
Anwar, Dev Kohli, Praveen Bhardwaj and Nerendra Bedi)
and six music directors (Sanjeev-Darshan, Nikhil-Vinay, Daboo Malik and Anand Raaj Anand) for one
'Pyaasa' !! Does all this effort really quench the
thirst? Read the review, listen to the album and judge
it by yourself !!!
Pyaasa is about three characters played by Miss
Universe Yukta Mookhey, Mast hero - Aftab Shivdasani
and popular model Zulfi who all have thirst about
something in life. It is directed by A. Muthu who made
his debut with Abhishek Bachchan starrer 'Tera Jadoo
Chal Gaya'. Ramesh Sharma is the producer.
The only hummable number in the album is 'Milti Hai
Jhukti Hai' by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan. Daboo
Malik who has recently composed for 'Yeh Zindagi Ka
Safar' has been roped in for this song and Praveen
Bhardwaj is the lyricist. The song is very much in the
style of bade bhai Anu Malik's trademark melodious
score. But with due credit to Daboo, here the song is
in true terms 'inspired' and not 'copied' .The
choreography is interesting too as here both the
heroes are shown more than happy handing over the
girl to each other. Now that makes for an interesting
storyline !!
Dandiya number 'Aankhon Mein Leke Pyar' has Karsan
Sargathiya repeating the 'Dholi Taro Dhol Baaje' act
from 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'. The similarity is so
remarkable that one just smiles at the blatant
copying. Udit Narayan and Kavita Krishnamurthy sing
the rest of the number which is as fresh as one week
old vegetable. For a change, this dandiya doesn't
excite. 'Is Mohabbat Ke Siva' is another typical
romantic number which is just so-so. It is one of
those compositions which require a minimum of effort
and time and are done for the sake of having a song in
the movie. Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik sing this yet
another 'suna-sunaya' track which has nothing new at
all.
'Soni Roop Di' by Sardool Sikandar is a hardcore
Punjabi number which may not find universal patronage.
Everything in the song from the visuals, choreography,
singing style and the gloss resemble one of those
millions of Punjabi music videos from T-Series. Dev
Kohli writes the lyrics and 'punjabi songs specialist'
Anand Raaj Anand dictates the tunes. The song is
picturised on Aftab and Yukta where Zulfi is relegated
just in the category of extras. A real sad affair!!
Sunidhi Chauhan gets in her poppish mould in 'Tera
Pyar Ka Chhaya Nasha'. It is supposed to be sensual in
feel but falls flat. It is repeated twice - once with
Abhijeet and then with Adnan Sami, but doesn't impress
anywhere. Repetition of a song with different singers
has become the newest trend in the music circuit these
days. Pray why?
'Milte Milte Sanam' is a love song that has very
ordinary lyrics and music by Faaiz Anwar and Nikhil
Vinay respectively. The song has nothing special to
write home about. Can be given a very easy skip. 'Na
Jaane Mera Kya Hoga' is typically Sonu Nigam. It is an
OK number number in the appreciation of the girl that
can be listened for a few times primarily for its
rhythmic beats.
'Usko Pata Hai' by Sudesh Bhonsle and Narendra Bedi is
a tapori number which has the hero aiming for
dhan-daulat, gaadi-bangla and a ladki in his life.
Hero ka 'Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai'...that's all !!! The
number is situational and all depends upon the way the
song is presented and fitted in the movie. But
expecting it to be one of those tapori numbers 'Aati
Hai Khandala -Ghulam' or 'Aslam Bhai - Love Ke Liye
Kuch Bhi Karega' or 'Excuse Me - Style'.....well,
FORGET IT !!!
Sanjeev Darshan will have to do something good really
fast to help themselves stay afloat. Else they too may
fall in just a one hit wonder (Mann) bracket.
