Just like Partho Ghosh who has changed genres, veteran film maker KC Bokadia too isn't far behind with a project 'Bold' that was announced exactly a year back. Now ready for release, his erotic thriller cum revenge drama stars debutant Tanvi Verma in a lead role and has already made news with her 'leaving-nothing-to-imagination' pictures splashed all over the web world. For anyone who is interested beyond Tanvi, the movie also stars Sameer Kochar [Zeher] and Devgil in other lead roles. Music in the film is given by Bappi Lahiri, Vinay R. Kapadia and Gunwant Raj while Maya Govind and Kuku Prabhash pen the lyrics. With absolutely zero hopes from the music of the film [in spite of Bappi Lahiri's presence], one plays on 'Bold'.
Vinay R. Kapadia composes the opening track 'Mujhe O Sanam' written by Kuku Prabhash. A song about 'pyaar, intezaar and iqraar', it isn't a bad hear after all, thanks to some fine singing by Udit Narayan and Shreya Ghoshal and some decent tune by Vinay who composes the song in conventional melody. The number is quite predictable but nevertheless sounds pleasing to ears due to a nice flow sans any harsh music arrangements. A fine beginning to the album!
'Jaadu', 'Jalwa', Sunidhi Chauhan – and lo, a song of love, passion and seduction song is born! 'Jaadu Hai Jalwa Hai' has everything that front benchers would have always wanted, what with lyrics being a convenient 'khichdi' of 'Jaadu, Jalwa, Masti, Ada' and every other ingredient required for a song belonging to the situation for which it is composed. Sunidhi Chauhan is surprisingly inspired even for this track and sings with good conviction. The track composed by Bappi Lahiri won't be remembered for years though it has a vintage 'disco' feel to it!
The next song that follows – Bandh Kamra Hai – is just a pretext of having some tune behind the hot scenes in progress in the movie. Composed by Gunwant Raj and written by Kuku again, the number sung by Sonu Kakkad is quite forgettable. A song revolving around 'closed doors' and calls of going with the flow of burning passion, a select section of audience may wait for the song on the big screen with visuals rather than just an audio that fails to impress. Bappi Lahiri and Kuku join hands for yet another saga of 'khatiya' and 'takiya' in 'Soti Hu Palang Pe'. Things go further intense here with matters reaching as close as 'khatiya'. This track sung by Kalpana and reminding of 'Mar Gaye Mar Gaye' from 'Dalaal' [picturized on Ravi Behl] carries "only for adults" tag with it!
When there is 'bandh kamra' and 'khatiya/takiya' combo, the next obvious stage is some 'hungama'. That's exactly what happens with the next song 'Hungama Log Kehte Hai' sung by Sunidhi Chauhan. A bona fide item song, it has Maya Govind penning the lyrics with Vinay R. Kapadia back with composition scene. A racy westernized track that sounds quite familiar, especially in the middle portions, it doesn't have enough ammunition in it to go an extra distance and just passes muster.
The placeholder 'bhangra' celebration track appears in the end as 'Aaja Tu Nachle Kudiya'. Revolving around the festival of 'Vaisakhi', it soon gets on business with demands of 'pappi' [kiss], 'jhappi' [hug] and more. Still, the tune by Bappi Lahiri is fine and goes well with the event, though Maya Govind's lyrics play to the gallery. Sudesh Bhonsle for a change sings for himself rather than Big B while Sunidhi Chauhan is fully excited while rendering this one. Thankfully, 'Aaja Tu' makes a reasonable end to the album of 'Bold'.
'Bold' is an album that would hardly be bought by anyone with a family at home. There are a couple of tunes that are passable but the genre of songs is such that they would appeal to a select few. Also albums like these hardly penetrate the market hence further curtailing the prospects of any good sales.
