Chandani Chowk To China is Nikhil Advani third directorial venture and which is in news because of various facts. Its featured very first time Akshay Kumar and the losing heart if millions, Deepika. NA’ s films always has great music (Kal Ho Na Ho and Salaam-E-Ishq). Its another hyped movie of this time. Akshay Kumar is named the King of Bollywood after his many success. All of his last film has seen the big musical success. Namaste London, Welcome, Singh Is King, Tashan, Bhoolbulaiya, etc. And Deepika too has awesome musical hits in past as OSO and Bachchana Aae Haseeno.
First track start with the very ordinary note, Chandi Chowk To China which seems like the music from old Chinese films. It’s depressing to hear this track given by Shankar-Eshaan-Loy. One can’t believe they can composed such a non-starter track. I never seen such funniest lyric in the songs. I accept, it’s an comedy movie, but I am not expecting this track. Anushka Manchanda voice is such a let down!
Next offering, India Se Aaya mera Dost is again the old tunes which has nothing new. Bappi Lahri failed to leave an impressive number. Give us a break of such ordinary track. Less to say it... that’s would be better.
S.I.D.H.U may now bring the first hope for the album to fall out in total hole! The mixture tunes of Indian harmonium and table are likeable. Kalaish Kher sounds like never before, but it remains as an average track when it comes to end.
Chak Lain De another track from Kalaish Kher composed by the latter himself along with Paresh and Narash after the last track. Well… its may be the first situational number of the album, which is just about ok.
None of the tracks till now seem impressing? Well, all turn opposite when you listen “Tere Naina†a sweet melodious sensational melody sung by Shankar Mahadeven and Shreya Ghosal. But what happened? Its not again as strong as other sensational numbers like Chup Chupke (Bunty and Bubblie), Falak Tak (Tashan). Well, in this album, its works as an oasis in rouge dessert!
Last track is a different one with same titled “Chandni Chowk to Chinaâ€. Remember the Snoop Dogg vision from Sing Is Kinng? Well, it’s again workable, and the best track of the album so far as it’s has the Kinng Kumar Behind the mike. A well made track by Bohemia, this its time to cheer for Chandni Chowk To China.
Shankar-Eshaan-Loy, Kalaish-Naresh-Paresh, Bappi Lehri and Bohemia, all of these music director can’t creat the magic which is need for Chandni Chowk To China. Apart of Chandni Chowk to China(Akshay Kumar’s vision), Tere Naina which are workable tracks as chartbuster, its features only some average tracks likes Chak Lain De and S.I.D.H.U and two totally forgettable tracks like Chandni Chowk to China and India Se Aaya Mera Dost. Final fews wods, Apart of two songs, Chandni Chowk to China may work only in China and not in India! A Major disappointment who expect much from an Akshay movie!
