Audio Review : Kal Kissne Dekha (2009)

Producer: Vashu Bhagnani
Director: Vivek Sharma
Cast: Jackky Bhagnani, Vaishali Desai
Music: Sajid Wajid
Lyrics: Sameer

Vashu Bhagnani's Kal Kissne Dekha has already created a stir, much before its release. The film which will be the launch vehicle of Bhagnani's son Jackky and the late Manmohan Desai's granddaughter, Vaishali, is one of the many films which have been held up due to the ongoing tussle between multiplex owners and producers. But many bigwigs in the industry have assured Bhagnani of their support. The film, which has been directed by Vivek Sharma of Bhootnath fame, has Sajid Wajid as its music composers while Sameer has written the lyrics. One's expectations are high as Bhagnani is a producer known to leave no stone unturned to push his movies, and the matter is a little more personal this time round.

The album has seven songs in all and it begins with a number called 'Aalam Guzarne Ko', a song which evokes a feeling of nostalgia. This one is a romantic number which has been sung by Sonu Nigam , with support from Suzy Q. The singer seems to be in the best of forms and the genre seems to suit his vocals perfectly. This is a number which is very easy on the ears as it is high on melody and vocal play. This is surely a winner that Sajid Wajid have on their hands. Sonu and Suzy Q come together for the second song on the album as well, called 'Soniye Billori', which has a club remixed version too. After a beautiful beginning, this number is a slight letdown as there is very little that is original in it. It is the compulsory Punjabi number in the album, with a lot of energy as is the trend with these numbers, but does not have much of an impact. Coning as it does right after 'Aalam Guzarne Ko', it is a bit of a dampner.

But Sajid Wajid make amends quickly with their very next number, 'Aasman Jhuk Gaya' which is similar in mood to the opening number. It is sung by Shaan and the dulcet voiced Shreya Ghoshal, both of who have done a fantastic job with the song. Kudos to Sajid Wajid for coming up with such a lilting number, reminiscent of the music of the Seventies.After seeking inspiration from the Seventies, the composers look towards the Eighties and come up with a number called 'Jashn Hai Josh Hai', a very catchy number sung by Alisha Chinoy, Neeraj Sridhar and Wajid. It's been quite a while since one has Alisha and the composers seem to be bang on with their choice of singers. The composer goes solo with the next number 'Tere Bina', in which he gives a passionate rendition. Sandwiched between this and the title number is the semi classical 'Bin Tere Mar Javan Mein' which has been sung by Shreya. Her classical training stands her in good stead and she does a perfect job of this one as well.

Shaan's voice makes its appearance towards the end, with the title track, 'Kal Kissne Dekha' along with Shreya. But it is Shaan who overshadows everyone in this number, which makes for a fitting title track. It is song which is high on energy, catchy and yet very melodic. Shaan gives a very charged rendition. The number also has a club mix version as well a romantic version, which is rendered by Wajid. The composer gives the song a twist in his rendition. From a song which is strong on melody and rhythm, he transforms it into just a melody driven number in his rendition, singing it with a lot of passion and ardour.

Sajid Wajid are undoubtedly one of the very talented composers that we have around. Their biggest strength is their ability to innovate and the wide array of sounds that they can pack into an album. This is definitely one of their better albums as most of the songs that they have composed for it are above average. Except for the Punjabi, 'Soniye Billori' perhaps, the rest of the album is a real treat to hear. At least a couple of the numbers from here should be sitting at the top of the charts very soon. This album should form the perfect teaser for Jackky and Vaishali's screen debuts.And if the teaser is anythig to go by, then the end product should definitely be worth the wait.
