The tradition continues.....candy floss love stories
from the house of Yash Chopra continue with Mujhse
Dosti Karoge after the
super-success of Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai. After Khalid
Mohammad (Fiza), another film critic makes his debut as
a director -
Kunal Kohli. The same Kunal Kohli who anchored the
popular Box Office show Chalo Cinema and was the
director of the
videos for the Rajshri album - Yeh Hai Prem. Remember
'Chui Mui Si Tum Lagti Ho' ?
MDK has the yuppy
starcast of Hrithik,
Rani Mukherji and Kareena Kapoor as Raj, Pooja and
Tina. This has probably the last work of late Anand
Bakshi saab and
once again you feel that why is he considered a
legend. Rahul Sharma makes his debut as a music
composer and proves
once again that music of Yashraj banner always has
that 'something extra' when it comes to composing
melodies.
We missed Lataji in MYKSH - didn't we? Well there
is a good news for all her fans - she features in four
numbers out here in
MDK.
'Jaane Dil Mein' is one of those melodies that
has the fragrance of the 70's. A beautiful number by
Lataji and Sonu
Nigam, composed in a wonderful way. Listen to it once
and you will be hooked it for days. Surprise of the
song is Sonu Nigam
who must have really worked on this number to sound
more mature instead of the usual zippy way he normally
sings. He is a
bit subdued in this number and the effort really pays.
A tune that should certainly find it's way in the
background score of the
movie. A slow version of the same number features with
the same artists and is good as well.
'Andekhi Anjani' has all that is needed for a number
to be chart-buster. Another 'sweet-n-sugary' recipe
from the house of
Chopras which is shot in the mandatory Swiss locales
and sung by Lataji. Udit Narayan gives her company in
this duet and
does his job as reliably as always. The song is about
the lead players dreaming of their partner whom they
will be meeting
soon. Everything is near perfect in this number and
the song is bound to be on the top of the charts soon.
'Saanwali Si Ek Ladki' by Udit Narayan seems to be
dedicated to Rani and is a regular mushy senti number.
Nothing great
about it, nothing new about it - but still one never
knows how a choreographer and the cinematographer may
do wonders even
to an average number. 'Oh my darling' seems to be
designed especially for the combo of Kareena and
Hrithik after the
popularity of K3G numbers - 'You are my Sonia' and
'Deewana Hai Dekho'. It is a naughty number where both
the lead players
are pulling each other's leg about being the Y2K+2
generation guy and a girl. A number that should help
pulling in teeny beepy
crowds to the theatres.
'Terrific Tina' is a hep, fast and happening
instrumental and as the title suggests, is all about
Tina i.e. Kareena Kapoor. It would
probably feature in the introduction scene of Kareena
Kapoor. An exciting medley of mostly yesteryear
numbers of Lata ji also
adds to the value of this album. Though this medley by
Lataji, Udit Narayan, Sonu Nigam and Pamela Chopra
really becomes
a bit too long towards the end, you may still not mind
as the numbers featured take you to the golden era of
hindi film songs.
The title song by Ashaji, Alka Yagnik and Udit
Narayan leaves no doubts in mind that one has to go
for Mujhse Dosti Karoge.
A traditional Yash Chopra number, it is melodious. It
haunts, it excites and it entertains.
Rahul Sharma does a superb job in churning out a
number of melodies in one single package. Probably the
best score after Dil
To Paagal Hai surpassing even Mohabbatein and Mere
Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai, this album will be fast
disappearing from the music
store racks. Go for it before you miss out even the
final copy of the day !!!
