Its raining Salman Khan - Shilpa Shetty starrers. In their more than decade old careers, they never paired with each other as much as they are pairing presently. First ' Garv - Pride and Honour ' where Salman was the lead protagonist while Shilpa played the glam doll. Then came ' Phir Milenge ' where it was Shilpa's turn to be a lead while Salman played a star attraction. And now comes 'long in the making' Shaadi Kar Ke Phas Gaya Yaar , a romantic movie where one hopes to see them in equal roles. Directed by K.S. Adhiyaman who had a surprise hit with ' Hum Tumhaare Hain Sanam ' to his credit, SKPGY is a Bharat Shah presentation produced by Bubby Kent. Sajid Wajid (backed by Salman Khan) compose while sharing credit with Daboo Malik.
By the look of initial promos itself, one can get a sense of hurry in the mind of makers who seem to be rushing towards the release of the movie, in order to cash in on Salman Khan's popularity. There has been sweet success in the shape of Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Garv for Salman but that has also been neutralized to some extent due to back-to-back failures of Phir Milenge and Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha that relied mainly on Salman's presence. Coupled with this, the hurried promos of SKPGY and the dated look doesn't help the cause much either. One has mixed expectations from the music of SKPGY and half-heartedly picks up the album.
Sajid Wajid's 'Beat One-Beat Two' kinda composition ' Deewane Dil Ko Jaane Jaa ' makes a start to the album. Sung by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik, this happy'n'merry making love song written by Shabbir Ahmed is 'come today-gone tomorrow' kind, the style of which sounds at least about 4-5 years old. A word of caution! Someone needs to inform the album manufacturing company - TIPS - that the inlay card wrongly credits the song to Sunidhi Chauhan instead of Alka Yagnik.
The following song ' Taro Ko Mohabbat Amber Se ' is much better sounding and makes for a good romantic duet. Dabbo Malik gets a good rendition out of Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik and lyrics by Jalees Sherwani and Rashid Lucknowi are sweet'n'simple as well. A quiet and nice composition that goes well with the lover boy and shy image of Salman Khan, it can be enjoyed for a while.
Salim Bijnori writes ' Dil Ye Behelta Nahi Hai ', an ordinary run-of-the-mill pop song composed by Daboo Malik. A romantic duet about 'My heart doesn't feel good till I see you', it is fast paced and just about stays afloat due to some good singing by Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan.
Next is the turn of the title song ' Shaadi Kar Ke Phas Gaya ' written by Manohar Iyer and composed by P. Sameer, a new entrant on the block. A situational comic song by Abhijeet, it is of a very short duration but sends a message loud and clear about the pros and cons of marriage!
' Tujhi Se Mujhe Pyaar Hai - Tujhi Pe Aetbaar Hai ', says Salim Bijnori, the lyricist. Must have been a hard task for Daboo Malik to compose a tune around such routine lyrics. Sunidhi Chauhan tries to infuse some life in this pop track and manages to keep you at least listening to the number. Otherwise there is nothing new or fresh about the composition.
Just like ' Taro Ko Mohabbat ', ' Kuch Bhi Nahi Tha ' too is a nice and melodious love duet that keep you interested for a while. Composed by Sajid Wajid, this song written by Jalees Sherwani is sung well by the duo of Hariharan and Alka Yagnik. A quiet number, it is one of the better tracks in the album.
The album ends with a full-fledged title song version - ' Shaadi Kar Ke Phas Gaya '. Some funny lyrics by Jalees Sherwani aided by some youthful singing by Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan, it makes for a good situational song that should run well with the narrative of the movie. But if there are any thoughts amongst the makers' mind that the song will be a crowd puller, then they are mistaken!
SKPGY is a bunch of some average and above-average songs combined together in one single album. You won't hate the songs but you are not sending a bouquet to Sajid Wajid and Daboo Malik either. Coming in the wake of other biggie music releases like Veer Zaara, Swades, Aitraaz and Musafir , it will need some real push from the music company to create a buzz around the music of SKPGY.
