Watched the promos of Na Tum Jaano Na Hum? Hrithik in
Black shown in his own dream world visualizing who his
life partner would be, where would she be, what she
would be and when would she be his? The answer for all
this is plain and simple according to him - WHY DON'T
JUST LEAVE THIS TO GOD? This is what Arjun Sablok's
NTJNH conveys - 'Sometimes you just leave it to
God...'.
Na Tum Jaano Na Hum is Hrithik's first tryst with a
relatively unknown guy after working with biggies in
Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai(Rakesh Roshan), Fiza(Khalid
Mohammed), Mission Kashmir(Vidhu Vinod Chopra),
Yaadein(Subhash Ghai), K3G(Karan Johar) and Aap Mujhe
Achche Lagne Lage(Vikram Bhatt). Presented by
Pantaloon, NTJNH also marks the coming together of
Hrithik and Esha. Not much hype has been made about
this pairing but one thing that has gone un-noticed is
that Roshan Senior and Esha's mother Hema Malini too
had come together in 'Paraya Dhan' years back that
also starred Balraj Sahni and Ajit. After winning
accolades for his comic timing in Love Ke Liye Kuch
Bhi Karega and Dil Chahta Hai, Saif Ali Khan plays a
lover boy in NTJNH. Rajesh Roshan composes again for a
Hrithik starrer and Bakshi saab writes.
'Dil Leke' by Udit Narayan and Pamela Jain is quite
melodious and is one of those songs that are instantly
likeable and one starts humming soon after hearing it.
Esha looks a sweet little bubbly girl and sheds the
serious image she acquired with Koi Mere Dil Se Pooche
(although her role in that movie demanded it). Hrithik
dances in his usual flexi-style. Overall the number is
good.
Probably for the first time in his playback singing
career, Kamaal Khan lends his vocals to someone other
than Salman Khan. In NTJNH, he gets to croon two songs
- duet 'Jaa Sanam' with Sneha Pant and a solo 'Tum'.
The former is a situational 'dard-e-judaai' kind of a
number and is again impressive. It is a slow number
and takes some time to grow. Kamaal Khan after 'O Piya
O Piya' (Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye) proves once again
that he is very much capable of singing soft numbers
as well. Sneha Pant is good too. 'Tum' is again a very
soft number but is set in a non-film number mode. A
song for a rainy day to be heard at a very low volume
to be enjoyed.
'Haye Ram' is a number set in old-fashioned style -
something like 'Karwatein Badalte Rahe Saari Raat Hum'
from Rajesh Khanna- Mumtaz starrer Aap Ki Kasam. The
sound of falling of drops deserves a special mention.
Sound of 'Haye Ram' is very different from the other
compositions of today, though the song may appeal to
just a very select audience. The choreography by Saroj
Khan is unique too and is basically aimed at CLASS.
'Ye Betiyan' by Jaspinder Narula is again very
situational and is about the essence of being a
daughter and a mother and the relation they share. No
No - you certainly won't be buying NTJNH for this very
number which is quite predictable and well - 'Boring'.
'Chunariya' is one number that may become one of the
highlights of the movie provided it is picturized and
marketed appropriately. It has a very catchy tune and
is foot tapping. It resembles of some traditional
folky music and should be a popular. Udit Narayan is
in his usual 'josh' and Sukhwinder Singh too chips in
a bit.
'Aha Aha' is a sweet kind of a number of teenage
girls. Falguni Pathak's vocals are cool as ever and
the composition is typically Rajesh Roshan. It is a
sort of a question-answer session between the girl in
love and her 'sakhiyaan' discussing about the how,
where, who, when and what of her LOVE. A Come and Go
kind of a number.
No Alka Yagnik, no Sunidhi Chauhan, no Kavita
Krishnamurthy - only upcoming newcomers like Pamela
Jain, Sneha Pant and Falguni Pathak. Does this hint of
something? If we look at the Hrithik Roshan-Rajesh
Roshan combination then there is a distinct decline
(although not very drastic) from Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai to
Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage to Na Tum Jano Na Hum. Or
probably we have been expecting too much !!! To sum
up, the music of NTJNH is good only in bits and pieces
with the absence of any chartbuster kinds.
