A few months back when Rakesh Bapat and Richa Pallod came together, they dialed a 'Wrong Number'. A film that tried to cash in on the horror-thriller genre failed miserably at the box office. The same lead pair is back this time around with a love story 'Kaun Hai Jo Sapno Mein Aaya'. A presentation of Inspired Movies (U.K.), it is produced by Vibha - Ragini, directed by Rajesh Bhatt and has been a low profile venture throughout it's production. Since there is music by Nikhil Vinay, lyrics by Sameer and the album is on T-Series, one expects at least eight songs and so is the case.
Anuradha Paudwal continues her attempt to be in the top slot again in face of strong competition from the likes of Alka Yagnik and Sunidhi Chauhan through the title song 'Kaun Hai Jo Sapno Mein Aaya'. A song which has it's title a wee bit too long, it is sung well by both Anuradha Paudwal and Udit Narayan but lacks the melody to touch your heart. At best it turns out to be a routine love song that feels OK while heard but doesn't have enough fuel to run for many a miles. Nikhil Vinay deliver a kind of number that is easy to ears but is quite predictable. Moreover the pairing of the lead actors too is not that hot, which can sell a song despite it's average content.
'Tere Chehre Pe Marta' starts off as yet another romantic number and takes a sudden turn towards being very average when Kumar Sanu and Anuradha Paudwal sing the line 'Is Dil Ka Kya Karoon...Is Dil Ka Kya Karoon'. Neither Kumar Sanu nor Anuradha Paudwal impress in this millionth version of the songs from the days of 'Aayee Milan Ki Raat', 'Lal Dupatta Malmal Ka', 'Jeena Teri Gali Mein' etc. The song again fails to strike a chord and you wonder that "Come on...so you two are in love!! But what should I do?"
There is some redemption in the shape of 'Sabke Chehron Mein' that proves yet again that Udit Narayan is always from the dependable lot when it comes to deliver a mushy love song. Nikhil Vinay maintain a good tempo throughout the song that relies mainly on melody rather than rhythm or beats. A song about "I see your face in every girl's face", it is a good listening, though again not a chartbuster material.
Babul Supriyo and newcomer Nisha sing a situational song 'Hare Hare Rama'. Don't mistake it for a devotional song. It is a song about youngsters who are living life to the fullest and preaching the world to be careful in choosing one's love. A bad composition, it is least impressive, loud, soulless and makes one run for cover. Immediate step when this number begins is to rush for remote and select the next song.
The next song which is 'Dupatta Sarak Raha Hai' reinforces your belief that there are some people in Bollywood who still do not want to budge from the beaten to death kind of compositions. 'Dupatta' - a duet by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik, belongs to the similar category of songs that tries to be mushy and romantic but the oft-repeated tune and lyrics fails them. Now what exactly do you feel when you hear something like 'Dupatta Sarak Raha Hai...Mera Dil Dhadak Raha Hai? ’
'Bheegti Aankhon Se' is definitely not another 'Bheege Honth Tere' but still brings some relief to this rather bumpy ride of KHJSMA. A song about the separation of lovers, it avoids being completely gloomy and sustains your interest while the song is being played (unlike a couple of other songs in the past which just didn't register). Sonu Nigam and Anuradha Paudwal are efficient.
'Agar Dil Kahe', another love duet, is sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal and is straight out of Nadeem Shravan's school of music. Another passable number, it is not exceptional but somehow rejuvenates the listener's interest in the album due to it's simplistic narration. A fine track!
'Mera Sona Sajan' marks the end of the album as a celebration song in a household. One thing that slightly puts one off 'Mera Sona Sajan' is it's choreography that takes you around 20 years back, what with a 'ched-chaad' song between hero and heroine where you see a girl donning a moustache, wearing a head band, acting like a guy and the works!! Sneha Pant starts the song ditto as 'Mehendi Laga Ke Rakha' from DDLJ (when will this fixation go off whenever a celebration song is composed!!). Udit Narayan tries his best to be cheerful while Sneha Pant is fine too. The composition also works in totality but the only negative feel is that of the 'heard before' which is prevalent in so many previous songs as well.
At best, the album turns out to be an average fair for those who didn't expect too from the album in the beginning itself. For them, it is a fair result taking into consideration the lesser know star cast and production house. But in all, the album has absolutely nothing new to offer and may be a disappointment for those who had some expectations from the album due to the names of Nikhil Vinay and Sameer attached to it. T-Series, who are known for their meticulous publicity, have a task in hand to ensure that this average sails through a safety mark.
