Music: Agnel Roman - Faizan Hussain & Raj - Prakash Lyrics: Arun Kumar, Faraaz Ahmed & Agnel Roman…
<b>Music:</b> Agnel Roman - Faizan Hussain & Raj - Prakash<BR> <b>Lyrics: </b> Arun Kumar, Faraaz Ahmed & Agnel Roman<BR> <b>Music Label: </b> T-Series<BR><BR> <b>Expectations: </b> <BR><BR> Nothing really, from this small film with newcomers. <BR><BR> <b>Music: </b> <BR><BR> Sufi overtones are huge in the Vikrant Bhartiya and Aishwarya Majumdar-rendered '<b><i>Arziyaan</i></b>', which has some amount of contemporary appeal, ironically because it is so stereotyped in that genre. The lyrics, music (this is the only song composed by Raj-Prakash) and vocals all are in sync with today's trends and therefore very familiar. <BR><BR> The Sufi influence has heavier presence in '<b><i>Ishq Hai</i></b>' (Javed Ali). The reprise version is a duet with Yashika Sikka, and like all reprises nowadays, has nothing really distinctive except for, in this case, the female voice. Again, if well-promoted, this track would be a market-friendly one because it is so studiedly trendy! Javed impresses and the lyrics (Arun Kumar) also are well done. <BR><BR> That said, we must admit that the classical nuances in these two songs are skilled and up the melodious quotient of the soundtrack, <i>something that many bigger films lack nowadays</i>! <BR><BR> The humbler tenor of the film may prevent urban popularity for the rest of the songs, also because the music is decidedly retro. The Holi song '<b><i>Rang Rang De</i></b>' (Suchi-Jatinder Pal Singh-Yashika Sikka) is a classic case in point, because such a song might create a passing impress in what film distributors call 'smaller centers'. The same would be the case with the romantic duet '<b><i>Mora Rangdaar Saiyyaan</i></b>' sung with gusto by Roopkumar Rathod and Prajakta Shukre. <BR><BR> In the interiors, another track that may shine for a while will be '<b><i>Jigariya</i></b>', sung in a full-throated manner by Javed Bashir. This song, also heavily in retro terrain, would have been a major hit from the late '50s to the early '70s in the distinctive folk voice of, say, S.D. Burman. <BR><BR> '<b><i>Phurr Phurr</i></b>' (Aishwarya Majmudar-Manjira Ganguly- Agnel Roman) is a playful dance number that with higher grade of singers (and film) would also have been popular in passing. It has a distinct '70s flavour, and has come forty years too late! <BR><BR> <b>Overall: </b><BR><BR> The music is not a lost cause, thankfully, but will work for a while if the film does. It is unlikely to aid the film, though. <BR><BR> <b>Our Pick: </b> <BR><BR> <i> 'Jigariyaa', 'Ishq Hai', 'Arziyaan'</i>
