Two debacles in a row would make any person chew his nails in anticipation when his third movie is about to be released. Don't know whether it is the same or not with Vikram Bhatt who is ready with 'Aetbaar' after the super-failures of his gang-world drama 'Footpath' and family thriller 'Inteha'! But he should be less than worried because the film stars the hot pair of Bipasha Basu and John Abraham who gave a good performance in the first hit of the year - Jism. Towering above them is the Big B who is at the top with the unprecedented super-success of Baghban that has left all competition behind.
An album composed by Rajesh Roshan with the songs written by as many as 5 different lyricists, another interesting feature about the album is that none of the artistes are repeated to sing a number more than once. So here we have as many as 11 singers singing for 6 tracks in total.
Opening number 'Tum Mujhe Bas Yun Hi' takes you to Anu Malik domain with Kumar Sanu and Sujata Bhattacharya at the helm. Nasir Faraaz is very average in the lyrics department of this track that at best is average. Nothing too noteworthy about the number and one moves on the next track
'Chhodo Chhodo'. Written by Ibrahim Ashq, it is a good romantic song about lovingly telling your partner - 'Leave me, don't hold my hands' and stuff alike. Sunidhi Chauhan is impressive, as always, in this track where she is in company with Udit Narayan.
'Sansein Ghulne Lagi' is a seductive number sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Goshal. Rajesh Roshan's music and Chandrashekhar Rajit's lyrics are plain predictable and the number turns out be pretty bland. Shreya Goshal is good in this genre as well and the pace at which she is going with at least a single number in every album that hits the store. She should be a serious contender for one of the top three slots with Alka Yagnik and Sunidhi Chauhan!
Instrumental - 'The feel of Aetbaar' has a vintage Rajesh Roshan touch about it. A good instrumental, it is mainly romantic in feel and should gel well with the 'pyaar mohabbat' mood of the film.
You liked 'Jawaan'e' Jaaneman' from Namak Halaal, right? Well, you will get to listen the ever-so-popular beats of the same track in the title track 'Aetbaar'. Though the similarity between the two tracks are limited just to the beats factor, the number has it's own merits like the vocals of Abhijeet which sound distinctively different. This man is definitely enjoying his re-discovered popularity after the super-success of his recent love song album! Alka Yagnik gets to sing her first song of the album (after Sujata Bhattacharya, Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya Goshal) and does well in this duet. Dev Kohli is the privileged one to write for this title track.
'Naa Nazaron Ki' is as flat as a number can get. A drag all the way written by Maya Govind, it has Babul Supriyo and Shweta Pandit being so very average with Rajesh Roshan composing as if a job done in a hurry. Listen to this and you will know why it's forgettable all the way!
Once again it is the Big B who lends some credibility to the album with finely rendered 'Jeena Hai Jis Liye'. He sounds very different than the numbers he has sung for Baghban though it is doubtful whether this track will get as popular as the ones from Baghban.
By listening to Aetbaar you know one thing for sure that the music is not going to be it's USP that may help generate any curiosity. Business is also going to be affected due to the recent music release of another Bipasha flick 'Ishq Hai Tumse' that has much better music. People may just opt for that instead!
Plain average!
