There are certain movies that do not manage to create any hype or excitement around their release regardless of the amount and quality of publicity. With a starcast of Sameer Dharmadhikari and Sandali Sinha, who are still to establish themselves in Bollywood (in spite of critically acclaimed performances in ' Tum Bin ' and ' Satta ' respectively, it becomes even more difficult to get an audience for a movie. Produced by Shantilal Bokadia and directed by Dilip Shankar, ' Nigehbaan - The Third Eye ' finally makes it to the screens this week after being ready for quite some time. With the promos not been impressive enough, the only hope one has is from the music by Himesh Reshammiya, whose name guarantees at least a couple of good tunes every movie.
As expected, when it comes to music of Nigehbaan , one completely ignores the starcast and the makers of the movie and just enjoys the melody of ' Shaayar Shaayar '. Sung by Udit Narayan and Shreya Ghoshal, the number boasts of good lyrics and some nice rendition by both the lead singers as well as the singer who begins the track with crooning of the words ' Shaayar Shaayar ' (Is it Jayesh?) and continues this throughout the number. An entertaining love song, it can be heard for a good number of times.
Himesh Reshammiya is in his elements (literally) in ' Ki Kara Main Ki Kara ' sung excellently by Kunal Ganjawala and Hema Sardesai. The chorus effect, the Punjabi-western arrangements, the feel-good yuppie factor and last but not the least - the rolling of Rrrr's by both the singers – makes for a trademark Reshammiya song. Well, one doesn't get tired of hearing such a composition, at least till now, and enjoys the melody. The song is also repeated as a solo version by Kunal that one doesn't mind at all in this short and sweet album that has just four songs!
An item number that seems to have been incorporated at an apt situation in the movie, ' Vaada Yeh Tera Vaada ' is a club dance number choreographed on Anjala Jhaveri. Sung by Alka Yagnik, it also has small portions by a male singer that again sounds like Jayesh. Cinematography seems to be scratchy while the choreography is routine as well. An average track, it is not going to break any records for an item number and would be lost soon after the movie is gone. Purely situational!
Melody makes a comeback very soon (thankfully!) with ' Poocha Naa Kya Hoti Hai ' that has Pankaj Udhas behind the mike. It is primarily the magic of Pankaj Udhas' smooth and silky voice coupled with some genuinely good music by Himesh that makes this mix of a ghazal and a soft number likeable. Lyrics are again of a kind that make an instant impression and one doesn't get tired of listening to this number by the Ghazal maestro again and again!
At the end, Himesh delivers what is required and if there is anything potentially coming in the way of the album reaching out to the people, it is the lack of star power, unknown banner, publicity and the marketing. But if you do manage to get hold of the album, do give it an ear – you won't be disappointed!
