The original Tamil version of the movie was a blockbuster hit and the songs composed by Harris Jayaraj were good but not mind blowing in anyway. Aamir and Rehman are back together in this Hindi remake.
Guzarish(Javed Ali)
Javed Ali seems to be the next Hariharan for Rehman. He is featured in every other album. The singer is absolutely terrific and sings his heart out in this song. The song is already making waves in the promos.
Bekha(Karthik)
Karthik is a surprise choice for this peppy song. Karthik is famous in the Tamil industry but he is new in Hindi cinema. It will be fair to say he has done a commendable job. Rehman as usual has experimented with instrumentation. There is a passage in the song influenced by punk rock. Overall it is a good song.
Latoo(Shreya Ghosal)
It has been a while since I’ve heard Shreya Ghosal in a fast paced song . My favorite singer has proved that she is very comfortable with fast songs as well. The song starts off at a brisk pace and slowly moves into Spanish territory. Rehman is the king of these kind of masterful compositions and he has proved yet again that he is the best.
Kaise Muje(Benny Dayal , Shreya Ghosal)
I thought I was listening to Yuvvaraj for a bit. This is an excellent song sung by the talented Benny and Shreya. The song is high pitched from the beginning to end and the controlled rendition by both singers makes this decent melody sound awesome. Rehman as usual pitches in with the right mix to keep the audience entertained. I would assume that this is the main song for Aamir and Asin.This is the best song of the album if you don’t compare it with “Dil Ka Rishta†from Yuuvraj.
Kaise Muje(Instrumental)
The slow and instrumental version of the previous song. The piano is mesmerizing as with any Rehman composition. This must be the sad version of the duet after the tragedy
Aye Bachu(Suzanne)
I have heard this song before but it does not really matter as this song is awesome.Suzanne rocks with her amazing vocals with the rhythmic heavy metal piece giving her company. A full throated rendition is the order of the day and Suzanne fits the bill perfectly.
Overall this is a refreshing problem and worth the buy. Rehman’s song will grow on you and I am already impressed so I am hopeful these songs will be chart busters depending on the movie goes.
Very good start for Murugdoss in Hindi atleast on the music front. We will have to wait for the movie but if it is anywhere closer to the Tamil version it is sure to be a big hit.
