Question: Haven't we heard the title of the movie somewhere?
Answer: Yes, 'Wah Wah Ramji Jodi Kya Banayi' was heard as a song in India's biggest blockbuster 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun?'
Question: Who is the hero of the movie?
Answer: Well, the way movie is being publicized, it is pretty obvious that it is Paresh Rawal.
The way the promos have been designed in and around Paresh Rawal and Amar Upadhyay (who had a forgettable debut with Dhund) has been more or less sidelined. Reema Sen, who is struggling to find a place in the industry after the debacles of 'Hum Ho Gaye Aapke' and 'Jaal' may be keeping her fingers crossed for the success of this flick which also stars veterans like Gulshan Grover, Kunika and Tiku Tulsania. Supposed to be a laugh-a-minute comedy that has Paresh Rawal in the central role, it has taken considerable time to reach the finishing line and is now being released in a hurry. Music department of the movie is handled by Anand Raj Anand and Dev Kohli.
'Sun Mere Mahiya' as near it can get to a nursery rhyme or a lullaby. An innocent sounding, number it bears its familiarity to the sweet'n'simple numbers from the 70's. Shreya Goshal is simply superb in this soft and naughty track while Sonu Nigam is in his dependable best. A number that deserves to be better promoted on a much larger canvas. The low profile star-cast and a low-key release may just let the song go unnoticed.
'Aaja Dildaara' is yet another 'dard-e-judaai' track sung in his trademark fashion by Sukhwinder Singh. Though the number sounds good to the ears, in recent times there has been such an overdose of such tracks that one may prefer to wait for it to come on screen to go for a popcorn break. Plain predictable!
Fun arrives with the title song by Shaan - 'Wah Wah Ramji'. A much better title song from a comedy movie if compared with that of recently released 'Hungama', it catches your attention with the way promos have been designed in and around this track. Special mention to the unknown and the lesser-credited voices from the chorus who give that much required spice to the overall effect. A track that should find it's opening line to be featured in just about every second reel of the movie depending upon the situation.
'December Ka Mahina Ho, Bagal Mein Ek Haseena Ho' - With lyrics like this, the song could have gone in any direction. But thankfully, Dev Kohli stops just at this and ARA gives a tune that is more of romantic rather than being seductive. An average track sung by ARA and Sadhna Sargam, it is one of those 'ready-to-serve' compositions.
Nostalgia from the past is revisited once again with 'Ek to Barish' which is so very similar to the tracks choreographed on yesteryear heroes like Rishi Kapoor, Jeetendra or Mithun. Composed as an oldy, this track by ARA and Kavita Krishnamurthy is just about OK
'Jeele Peele' is yet another drag song about drinking and making merry and doesn't leave an impression whatsoever. Vinod Rathod and Udit Narayan too do not help in adding any value to this boring number that may be skipped after the first hearing itself.
Barring a couple of good/average songs, there is nothing too great to cheer about the songs of Wah Wah Ramji. Low profile nature of the overall movie/music will make it even more difficult for the music to sell.
