The maker of super hit patriotic actioners Tirangaa
and Krantiveer and a disaster called Mrityudaata tries
his hands on a love story this time. We are talking
about Producer-Director Mehul Kumar and the movie in
question is Kitne Door Kitne Paas (KDKP). KDKP stars
hot-shot Fardeen Khan, who looks dashing as ever. In
fact his start status has elevated further up after
been signed as the ambassador for the 'Provogue'
clothes range. To play his love interest arrives
Amrita Arora, Malaika's 'choti-sis'. Both sisters have
something in common - they both have been VJ's for
music channels. But they are contrasting in terms of
look and appearance. Whereas Malaika has a kind of
sensuality woven around her, Amrita has a child like
innocence inside her.
Now coming to the music part of KDKP. Well...as the
title suggesta, the movie is a love story and when the
lead roles are played by youngsters like Fardeen and
Amrita , then there is no doubt that the emphasis will
be primarily on love songs ( as most of the hindi
movie songs are!!!). Sanjeev Darshan compose and
Anand Bakshi, Anwar Sagar and Abbas pen the lyrics.
Two songs that stand out of in-total six tracks are
the title song 'Kine Door Kitne Paas' and 'Rulati Hai
Mohabbatein'.
The number one factor that makes the title song
enjoyable are the trademark lyrics by Anand Bakshi.
They are romantic as ever and convey the emotions in a
sweet and simple manner without going too much into
poetry. Couple to this the melodious music and matured
vocals of Udit Narayan and Kavita Krishnamurthy and
the job is well done. This number will certainly be
remembered for some time to come.
After 'Tadap Tadap' from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam', KK
has created a special niche for himself in the
category of those singers who can express pain,
anguish, intensity and suffering through their vocals
so very effectively without the song becoming a drag.
The same holds for the number 'Rulati Hai Mohabbatein'
that makes for repeated listening. Well 'Mohabbat -
the love' really makes one laugh, cry, suffer and what
not, and the song is all about that which has lyrics
by Anwar Sagar!!!
And Hello!!! Whatever happened to the cassette cover
of the album which wrongly displays the singer in 'Ji
Jeend Jaan Jawani Janam' as Alka Yagnik although the
song is rendered by Kavita Krishnamurthy!! Sonu Nigam
joins her in this Punjabi based track. It is one
run-of-the-mill kind and is just come-and-go!!!
Nothing great about it!
'Humko Mohabbat Dhoond Rahi Thi' is a dull number by
Roop Kumar Rathod and Jayshree Shivram. It is a slow
song with a very routine music and can be conveniently
skipped.Sanjeev Darshan's love for Arabian music
surfaces again in 'Diwana Dil Hai Mera' after 'Kaali
Nagin Ke Jaisi' (Mann). Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan
enjoy singing this one and though the lyrics by Abbas
are ordinary, good composition more than makes up for
it.
Song 'Yaar Main India Chala' is about a guy who is
planning to go back to his 'maatrabhoomi' as
supposedly
his 'gharwaalon' have chosen a bride for him. The guy
is all excited about his bride-to-be and shares his
happiness with the friends there in 'saat samundar
paar'. Sonu Nigam sings for this guy and Mohd Aziz
croons for the friend. Overall a feel-good number.
In all, the music of KDKP is average with at least two
fairly enjoyable tracks - the title song and 'Rulati
Hai Mohabbatein'.
