Music: Chirantan Bhatt, Sunny & Inder Bawra & Gourov Das Gupta Lyrics: Kausar Munir, Sagar Lahauri…
<b>Music: Chirantan Bhatt, Sunny & Inder Bawra & Gourov Das Gupta</b><BR> <b>Lyrics: Kausar Munir, Sagar Lahauri & Suhail Tatari</b><BR> <b>Music Label: T-Series</b><BR><BR> <b>EXPECTATIONS</b><BR><BR> A small film based on a real-life murder case with just three songs by three different music directors. What can one expect? <BR><BR> <b>MUSIC</b><BR><BR> Chirantan Bhatt's '<b><i>Aaja Ab Jee Le Zaraa</i></b>' is a familiar tune that could have wandered in from any Mukesh Bhatt film. The orchestration, tenor and tune are all in that mould, and the lyrics too revisit that genre - yes, the Mukesh-Mahesh Bhatt music is a genre by itself in Hindi cinema today! <BR><BR> Singer Devi Negi sounds like a cross between Sonu Nigam (especially when he raises the pitch) and KK with traces of some of the other singers around! In other words, despite his command over <i>sur</i>, he lacks a distinct vocal timbre. Deepali Athe has less 'audio footage' and passes muster. Kausar Munir, who wrote so well in many recent albums like <i>Nautanki Saala!, Chashme Baddoor</i> and others, strings patent verse here that seems more smart than substantial. <BR><BR> Sunidhi is in routine mode in the Sunny Bawra-Inder Bawra composition '<b><i>Tera Aks Hai Jo</i></b>'. The melody had potential with its old-world tenor but the lingering quotient is spoilt whenever the frenetic beats take over - which is in most of the song. Yes, the interludes sound good, though heard-before, but we would have preferred mellower treatment in synch with the lyrics (Sagar Lahauri) which have some deft lines (<i>Chehre kyoon badalti hai / Saath kyoon na chalti hai / Zindagi tu jalti hai khwaabon se mere</i>) amidst the routine stuff. <BR><BR> Shaan's '<b><i>Roshni</i></b>' with music by Gourov Das Gupta sounds more like a pop song than a film track. The composition, musical treatment and even Shaan's high-octave vocals are at odds with the words. The cluttered and noisy arrangements, including a guest appearance by the <i>sitar</i>, fail to register even after three hearings. <BR><BR> <b>OVERALL</b><BR><BR> There is nothing really to write home about the score. The two bonus songs used here from the same banner's <i>1920 - Evil Returns, 'Uska Hi Banana</i>' and '<i>Javedaan Hai</i>', though average, are actually more impressive! <BR><BR> <b>OUR PICK(S) </b><BR><BR> <i>Tera Aks Hain Jo</i>
