Meeting: Music lovers associations meet
Audience: All Music lovers of Bollywood looking for something different !!!
Agenda: To discuss music of Ram Gopal Verma directed, Nitin Manmohan produced BHOOT.
Speaker: An avid music lover.
Speech: Here it goes………
Hello guys!! You know what: RGV continuous his tradition of shocking the audience – this time literally!!
Cheers!! Applaud!! How how ?? Tell us more!!
Well, after a hard hitting Company that won him laurels last year, he has come up with a movie about super-naturals and ghosts – simply and so rightly called – Bhoot!!
Oooooh! Thank God, it isn’t like Bhoot ka Dil churaya Humne, Kya Aap Bhoot Hain!, Pyaasi Bhootni or Intaqam Bhoot ka!!
Roars and Laughter!!
OK, OK !! So it is produced by Nitin Manmohan who gave us dramatic Deewaange last year and his comedy Nayee Padosan is ready for release!!
Hmmmm……. Quite versatile, isn’t he??
Well!! Want to know something about music of Bhoot?
Yes, yes !! tell us more!!
So as today’s music era goes, even Bhoot has a horde of music directors- Salim – Sulaiman (popular background music composer), Amar Mohile, Anand Raj Anand and newcomers Bapi-Tutul. Lyricists are one-up, totaling five – Lalit Marathe, Jaideep Sahni (Story and Dialogue writer for Company), Mahahti Prakash, Sandeep Sahni and Praveen Bhardwaj – most of them newcomers.
Great! So how is each and every track?
Yup, coming to that. As we all know, RGV doesn’t waste time in character introduction so our lead protagonist Ms. Bhoot too makes a quicky entry with ‘Bhoot hoon Main’ Sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, Vijay Prakash and Salim Merchant. Composing team is Lalit Marathe and Salim Sulaiman. And you will definitely skip a beat once you see on whom is the song choreographed!! Not because our Ms. Bhoot is horrifying but because it is none other than Sunidhi herself who looks so very gorgeous and sexy in her white outfits and black apparels and gyrating in in dry lands.
Wow!! RGV definitely knows how to project his female stars.
Ya, the number is rocking with the female declaring to the whole world – Bhoot Hoon Main. And add to this, you will really enjoy listening from her again and again. There is a remix of this as well which as is the trend, doesn’t remix the track by adding a few instruments here and there and making it more techno. It in fact, just keeps the tune same, but changes the entire background arrangements to make it look a bit more scary. Hats off to Salim-Sulaiman for their effort.
OK!OK! We understand. But what about other tracks. In today’s albums we normally find just one or two appealing numbers but remaining just go futtttt!!
Yes dear!! I am coming to that. You listen to another ghostly number ‘Bhoot hai yahan koi’ for about five minutes and tell me who is the singer !! And I am sure you will never be able to guess that it is none other than Asha Bhosle. She does an extraordinary rendering of this background piece in a husky voice and surprises every one alike. A really scary number for which Jaideep Sahni and Amar Mohile deserve credit. Upcoming Gayatri Iyer sings well for version-two of this track and the background piece ‘Dead but not asleep’ continues the movie’s mood from here on.
HEY!! You are scaring us!! Is there any reprieve? Koyi to item number ya dil-vil ka gana hoga??
Sorry Buddy!! If you are thinking of all this then you are knocking the wrong doors. From RGV’s production house you donot expect a ‘Kaho na bhoot mujhse pyar hai’ or ‘Bhoot ka dil to pagal hai’. Instead he scares the hell out of you with another Bhootish number – Ghor Andhere. Though sung by Sunidhi, Vijay Prakash, Clinton Coorego and Salim Merchant there is only one male voice that dominates the track and that too by narrating the horrifying surroundings rather than singing it. Malathi Prakash’s lyrics take center stage here while Salim-Sulaiman are successful again by creating music truly inspired by ENIGMA.
‘YEY SARD’ which appears both as a song and an instrumental builds up the dark theme of the movie due to versatile vocals of Gayatri Iyer and some good teamwork of Praveen Bhardwaj and Anand Raj Anand. The number is about the pain and anguish associated with the confused state of mind due to not-so-comfortable surrounding around. ‘Din Hai Na Ye Raat’ composed by Sandeep Nath and Bapi-Tutul continues the good work done by others. Experience of Usha Uthup with support from Pervez Qadir make it a good number and establish ‘BHOOT’ as a completely ‘DIFFERENT’ album in true terms. Really a collector’s delight.
OK, OK!! So don’t sound so biased. There must be a cache to all this. Bolo, bolo – Tell Tell!!
Hmmm….. Well……….. how to say?? (I say in subtle tone….!!.) None of the songs appear in the movie. At max, very brief portion of a free track may make an appearance. This is because the album of Bhoot is mainly a Hollywood approach of creating a movie soundtrack (mainly background score) primarily for a flick’s publicity.
OOOh……… But never mind! We will still go for it. A good soundtrack with no appearance in a movie is still better than ten bad tracks spoiling three hours in a movie!!
Cheers! Cheers!
