Horror and the underworld genre seem to be the IN thing today in the minds of most film-makers. Along with Paanch and
Supari, Haasil too has been designed to tackle the theme of the underworld. Based on the students-politican-underworld
nexus, Haasil is a Karma Network Limited presentation and is written and directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia. In the making for
some time now, Haasil stars talented, yet not-so-successful Jimmy Shergill, Hrishita Bhatt (Shararat, Asoka, Dil Vil Pyaar
Vyaar) as the lead players. They are well supported by Irfan ' The Warrior' Khan and Ashutosh Rana. Haasil has music by Jatin
Lalit and lyrics by a host of writers - Israr Ansari, Kauser Pandey, Vinoo Mahendra, Satyaprakash and Devmani Pandey.
Haasil begins very well with a trademark Jatin Lalit melody - 'Aankhein Bhi Hoti Hai Dil Ki Zubaan'. A very well composed song,
it has beautiful lyrics by Israr Ansari and is sung extremely well by Abhijeet. Given the right publicity, this song should get
popular. Another song about the eyes i.e. 'Aankhon Mein Tumhari' is a jazzy number by Shaan, Sweta and Shraddha Pandit.
This number has the similar arrangements as the Jatin Lalit oldie 'Deewana Dil Deewana' from Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa. A good
track, it sets a feel good mood. A bit slow, 'Zindagi Ko Nayi Zindagi' by Udit Narayan and Sonali Bajpai is just an okey-dokey
love song that at best is an also-ran.
'Kisi Ne Mera' is again a love song about a guy who is lost in love and is trying to track down his lady love who has stolen his
heart. A predictable song set in campus with the hero letting his heart out with his friends. Again, just an OK song. 'Ab Ghar
Aaja' by Javed Ali is about a lonely heart crying out for his/her love to come back. Set in a semi-classical tune, though singer
Javed Ali impresses, the number is situational and doesn't really excite. An avoidable number.
Richa Sharma sings a mandatory item number (which is sort of a norm these days in the commercial masala movies) - 'Police
Case Na Ban Jaye'. Lyrics by Devmani Pandey are in the genre as these kinds of songs usually are. It is sad to see musicians
of the caliber of Jatin Lalit forced to compose such raunchy tracks. Nothing extraordinary composition wise, it is strictly for the
front benchers. A poor track.
The album ends with 'Tu Hi Tu' - a qawaali sung by Roop Kumar Rathod and Javed Ali. A track about the essence of the
movie's title - Haasil, it is again very situational. It tells about how to aim for a thing and go about to possess (haasil !!) it !!
Again not a very memorable number as far as the audience is concerned, it can be easily skipped.
Overall, Haasil has nothing going in favour of it except for one or two hummable numbers (Aankhen Bhi Hoti Hai, Aankhon Mein
Tumhari) here and there. Add to it, a not-so-very-impressive cast and publicity, this one too may be one of the forgettable
scores of 2003.
