One release can change your fortunes. This holds so
true for current heart-throb Arjun Rampal. Pre Pyar,
Ishq Aur Mohabbat (PIAM) , Moksha was just another
film by a debutant director Ashok Mehta starring
Manisha Koirala and a good looking newcomer. And look
how the fortunes of Moksha - The Salvation changed
after the release of PIAM !!! Though PIAM was a
washout, the person who benefited most out of it has
been Arjun. The hysteria generated by Arjun is
something that made a superstar out of Hrithik
Roshan. So what happens next ? Music of 'Long in the
waiting' Moksha is out and the film is now a hot
property in the film circuit.
Check out the shades of brilliance by the combo of
Rajesh Roshan and Javed Akhtar (again) in 'Seep Mein
Moti' and 'Mohabbat Zindagi Hai'. Especially 'Seep
Mein Moti' which has excellent wordings and makes one
go through exactly the same pain as the lead
players. Tune wise it is on the lines of 'Sheeshe Se
Bani Ek Ladki' from Dastak. It is sung by "Now...Oh
!! So regular !!" Shaan who demonstrates his growth as
a singer. There is another version of the same song
with Pamela behind the mike and she too does an
equally good job.
Hangover of Datsak is visible again in 'Mohabbat
Zindagi Hai' (Madhushree) which has a style similar to
'Kal beet gaya Hai Jo' (Dastak). But never mind till
the number makes a good listening. Madhushree succeeds
in sounding like a 'bitten-in-love' girl and has fun
in doing that.
'Nani Maa' is a lullaby which is featured twice in the
album. Once with Mahalaxmi and then with Dominique.
Can't say that the number will become a trend setter
as in today's hindi movie scenario, not many people
have an exceptional liking for lullaby !!! Ya, the
only difference between the conventional lullaby and
'Nani maa' is that here it is not an elder singing for
a child but the other way round i.e. Ritika (played by
Manisha Koirala) getting nostalgic about her Grand
Mother and singing praises about her.
If you watch the idiot box, then you must have seen
Arjun coming out of water and looking real HOT in
'Humko Pyar Hai'. The song has got a distinct Rajesh
Roshan stamp and makes for a good romatic number.
Kamaal "O O Jaane Jaana" Khan and new find Sneha (who
sounds like Chitra) sing a good duet. Heart skips a
few beats whenever Kamaal sings 'Humko Pyar Hai, Ye
Khumaar Hai'.
Well, so if 'Kambakth Ishq' could do it then can't
'Jaan Leva' do the same !!! Jaan Leva by Sukhwinder
Singh and Kavita Krishnamoorthy is exactly on the same
lines as the biggest hit of the year so far 'Kambakth
Ishq'. Similar style, similar orchestra, similar
sounds, similar intensity, similar passion and similar
what not !!! And ya, the similarity doesn't end here.
As with 'Kambakth' , here too we have an original and
a remix of the same. So come on everyone, put it on at
full volume and have a blast !!! 'Jaan Leva' is
bound to go some way !!!!
There are bits and pieces of dialogues too
interspersed between the songs (but why ?) May be it
was done to establish the character played by Arjun
i.e. Vikram-a lawyer. But all said and done , the boy
has a distinct style of dialogue delivery. The style -
which is so very different from the conventional
Bollywood heroes.
Rajesh Roshan and Javed Akhtar had earlier given
soulful melodious hits in Papa Kehte Hai and Dastak.
The combination excels again here - though not in
totality but in parts at least. Definitely an
above-average album.
