Director Jai Prakash has always dealt with adult themes, be it his debut venture 'Saajan Ki Baahon Mein' or subsequent spate of skin flicks like 'Tapish', 'Market' or most recently 'Chahat Ek Nasha'. In his recent 'Sauda - The Deal', he gets inspired by 'Indecent Proposal' from Hollywood, both in terms of basic theme and even the title. Starring his favorite/regular set of actors like Sanjay Kapoor, Aryan Vaid, Preeti Jhangiani and Suman Ranganathan, 'Sauda - The Deal' that has music by Anand Milind has been quickie, shot in a matter of a few months. With not much hopes from the music of a film belonging to this genre, one plays on the album that has songs written by Praveen Bhardwaj.
Abhijeet begins 'pyaar mohabbat' conventional Bollywood melody 'Ye Kaun Aaya' in his trademark ice-chill laced vocals. Written by Praveen Bhardwaj, it has all the right ingredients of 'dil, dhadkan, chain, bechain' that has resulted in Hindi music chug along for all these years. Though this romantic duet with newcomer Madhavi as Abhijeet's partner is an obvious deja-vu, one can still give it a comfortable hearing due to its easy-on-ears feel.
After a blazing 'Oh What A Babe' [Rakth] and a cheesy 'Kuan Maa Doob Jaoongi' [Page 3], Shamir Tandon aims at appealing to the hoi polloi with downrightly disgusting 'Aachar Daalungi' written by Sandeep Nath and crooned by Sapna Awasthi. What do you expect from this highly raunchy track that begins with lyrics like 'Kya Main Jawaani Ka Aachaar Daalungi, Jaldi Se Aaja Nahi To Maar Daalongi'. Set exactly as a replica of 'Kuan Maa' in terms of lyrics, rendition, treatment and setting, things get worse when a male voice croons 'Nimbu Ka Daalegi Ya Aam Ka Daalegi, Aachaar Tu Meetha Ya Khatta Daalegi'. In one word - HORRIBLE! The makers also have been misguided into believing that they have either come up with a classic or a potential blockbuster because without that there was no other reason to make the number appear for the second time around in the album.
Anand Milind get back on the scene with 'Dhuaan' that has Sapna Awasthi trying to sound all hip and cool. Her voice falls flat on the ground in this forgettable situational track that has KK crooning the lines currently on promo - 'Ye Zindagi Ek Sauda Hai'. Such are the after-effects of 'Aachaar' that one tends to look deeply at everything coming from hereon.
One sincerely hopes that Shreya Ghoshal doesn't get typecast as a playback singer to croon sensual tracks a la 'Jism' because this is what she does in her only track 'Jism Se Rooh Se' in the album. A typical song belonging to the 'fill in the blank' category where such a number is primarily an excuse to titillate the audience, it hardly makes an impression and fades away soon. It tries to be peppy and sensual in succession but doesn't succeed in sounding anything different from the songs of the similar kinds that we have been hearing for ages now. An ideal track for a popcorn break until and unless the director heats up the proceedings to such an extent that audience are kept glued on their seats!
When there are Sapna Awasthi and Shreya Ghoshal then how could the album be complete without a Sunidhi Chauhan number? Thankfully the last track of the album [as one can't wait for moving to hear some other album], 'Al Habibi' - as the title suggests - is a fusion of Western and Arabian music. Yet another track that can be conveniently ignored, it is again a song of the kind that makes no good addition to the world of music. Jolly Mukherjee who continues to make an appearance here or there joins Sunidhi in this forgettable track.
Jai Prakash's last 'Chahat - Ek Nasha' had a couple of tunes that sounded pleasant when heard, though even they weren't mind-blowing either. But in 'Sauda - The Deal', it appears that there has been no effort spent at all to care about the music aspect. This 'sauda' is surely on its way to be loosing preposition for everyone who have a stake in the movie's music.
