From the house of TIME movies comes 'Ehsaas - A
Feeling'. Earlier movies of TIME were mainly action
dramas like Sabse Bada Khiladi, Gambler, Kurukshetra
(that got TIME and Mahesh Manjrekar together) amongst
others. But this time, the producer (Nanjibhai Shah)
and writer director Mahesh Manjrekar make a foray into
an emotional drama. Something which is not alien for
the director - Remember Astitva ?
Dhadkan established that Sunil Shetty can be equally
good in melodrama as he is in action. Hence
expectations from the movie seem to be good since it
brings Sunil Shetty and Mahesh Manjrekar together for
the first time. But can we have the same expectations
from the music of Ehsaas as well ? Sadly - NO.
Although three music directors Milind Sagar, Anand
Raaj Anand, Prajwal Anand and five lyricists - Madan
Pal, Anwar Sagar, Pratik Joseph, Praveen Bhardwaj and
Shyam Anuragi have been roped in for 'In-total' 7
numbers, still none of the songs leave an impact.
'Yeh Kaisa Ehsaas Hai' is passable. One of those
'HEARD TODAY FORGOTTEN TOMORROW' kinds which are good
till they last. Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan (seems
like these days a movie without a song of hers may not
be cleared by Censors !!! ) lend their vocals.
'Tumse Milkar Hua Hai Ehsaas' is
...ahem..ahem....another version of 'Dekha Jo Tumko'
from Kasoor. Well Mr Anand Raj Anand, you are a far
talented person to get 'inspired' from other's work.
We have loved your original compositions then was this
really needed? Moreover Cut-Copy-Paste technique of
software is so obvious again with 'Keny G's' saxophone
tunes put in directly in the same number.
'Kuch Kehna Hai' is of 'O Raju....O Daddy' kind of a
song. Father son team of Udit Narayan and Aditya
Narayan had earlier given a hit 'Tu Mera Dil , Tu Meri
Jaan' (Akele Hum Akele Tum). Sad , but this time
around they have not been able to make even half a
impact. Maybe, with the flow of the movie,the song may
seem good.
'Juhi Ne Dil Maanga' (Atul Kale, Vaishali Samant and
Arun Ingle) is a complete chaalu number and should go
down well with a particular class which identifies
this genre of music. But talking about universal
appeal, it is a strict NO-NO. It contains reference to
half of the Bollywood's actresses, actors and
directors and at best is time pass.'Ek Baar Pyar'
(Sonu Nigam, Sunidhi Chauhan) is a song on the
occasion of New Year and can be conveniently skipped.
'Zindagi Ek Daud Hai' is again situational and is
designed for the occasion of a father inspiring his
son ( the two protagonists of the movie) to move ahead
in life.
The only number that may help the sales of this album
is 'Ye Din Bachpan Ke' by Aditya Narayan as after
'Chota Bachcha Jaan Ke' (Masoom) ; which was again
sung by Aditya only; this is the only number in recent
times which can be termed as a 'potential kiddy
chartbuster'. Kids will love this song because of its
lively choreography and will go for it.
As was in the case of Abhay where Bonus songs were
more entertaining than the album itself, here too the
tracks like 'Yaadein yaad Aati Hai' (Yaadein), 'Jo
Pyar Karta Hai' (Ye Raaste Hai Pyar Ke) and 'Kasam Se
Teri Aankhen' (Ajnabee) add more value to the album
than the songs of the movie itself.
Disappointing.
