GREAT MUSIC is what u think of when u hear the names Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Kailash Kher, & Bappi Lahiri...and thats EXACTLY what u receive in CC2C...but the real highlight of the soundtrack is the actor: Akshay Kumar!!!!...he pulls off a great performance n we'll get into that later! but one thing is clear about the album: it will attain different tracks with diverse flavors bcuz of the 3 different composers roped in! now 2 the review we go!
first comes the title song, Chandni Chowk To China [im sure u hav heard it in the promo] well, the song is put together decently well wit the chinese mix n all...but u expect A LOT MORE from the leading song of the album!...its a lil addicting tho...btw Neeraj Sridhar comes wit a FABULOUS rendition once again n thats the only reason i would come bac to it...i rele cant get enough of this guy! RECOMMENDED! the Remix is also quite good...if yur a fan of the fast pace, its for u!
next up is SIDHU...Kailash Kher comes into the scene n hes always BRILLIANT in his singing n displays it here once again! Kailasa [Kailash's band] composes the song n they r one of my favorite artists [Teri Deewani, Saiyaan, all their songs!] so i expect a lot from them n they do quite well here...awesome composition! the funny lyrics do not fail either! GREAT ONE GUYS!
Bappi Lahiri comes wit his sole song of the OST: India Se Aaya Mera Dost!...many people hav criticized Bappi here for: not pronouncing "salaam" properly [cmon guys...] n not singing well [i liked it...]...in fact...i personally LOVE the creativity here...turning the old "Mumbai Se Aaya" into this wit the chinese mix...RECOMMENDED!!!!
S-E-L return wit Tere Naina...i can already see this being one of my favorite songs for YEARS to COME!!! AMAZING composition! FANTASTIC lyrics!! and SUPERB vocals by Shankar Mahadevan n Shreya Ghosal!!! what more can u ask for! STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
Tere Naina would hav been the best song on any OST ever made but im a lil biased here since Akshay Kumar is my favorite actor of alltime n this song is all about him: CC2C!! the composition by Bohemia is truly fantabulous n akshays rappin skills rele make the track MEMORABLE!!! this one is gonna soon come out in a promo n watch out EVRYONE! this one gonna b a big hit! i recommend this song to evryone but if yur an Akshay fan, i STRONGLY STRONGLY RECOMMEND it!!!
the final track is Chak Lein De...its a decent track which coulda been much better had the composition been workd a lil more...the techno beat is PERFECT n so much more coulda been done with it...anyways listen to it for Kailash's singing as it makes up for the "misses"...
n thats the end of this OST...great job by all 3 composers n also the lyricist! this one is definitely worth yur $ guys...go out n get it!!!!!!
