Producer Harry Baweja has rolled up his sleeves for two subsequent movies for the year 2005. Main Aisa Hi Hoon with his personal favourite Ajay Devgan and Karam pairing John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra on screen for the first time. Both the movies are diverse in theme and treatment. One is an emotional saga whereas other is an action-packed drama.
After the success of Shabd and Musafir, the duo Vishal-Shekhar strikes again with their composition. As Harry Baweja has a neat ear for music in his films, it seems to be a right decision from every aspect.
The first track ‘Tinka Tinka’ rightward sets the mood on spree. The quality of lyrics by Vishal and Irshad Kamil is just admirable. Doing the rendition in a subtle and saucy voice is Alisha Chinoy. The song just melts in her voice. The soft music takes on you and afloat in a world of serenity with pleasure. There is an ‘Instrumental’ to the track as well, that has the right tint too.
The next track though takes a different route compared to the former one. This is a groovy number that begins with ‘Ishq Nachaya Kare’. Sunidhi Chauhan in her jazzy vocals gives a superb rendition. This is a dance number with loud music and fast beats. Vishal has done the lyrics. An ‘Instrumental’ of this number also follows. The track is just fair in musical scale.
A pensive and somewhat pessimistic track is ‘Le Jaa’. The vocals of Harshdeep and Vishal just makes you merge in this philosophical track. The lyrics by Vishal is deep and transparent. This track is also repeated again. Musical elites would definitely mark it among the classy songs.
Something different erupts with ‘Tera Hi Karam’. Another rational song to the entity with heavy lyrics by Pankaj Awasthi and Amit Mishra. They have developed the song entirely to their credit. The song lacks symphony which makes it sound very unappealing. There is again a repeat of this track.
After a peppy and a few life-like tracks, Vishal-Shekhar makes up for a soft romantic song by Sonu Nigam and Mahalaxmi. ‘Koi Aisa Aalam’ tries to patch up the broken zeal of the album. Dev Kohli has penned some lovely words. This is the track that may rejuvenate your mood if it has been spoiled by the not so remarkable songs of the album. Among the nine tracks of the album what you encounter most often are the instrumental and repeats of the original songs. This is many ways is the biggest disappointment tied with this album. The compositions are worthy and the first and the last tracks are commendable. With variety taking to the peak, we may expect this album to have a steady go!
