Thoda success Thoda magic!!! The coveted Yashraj banner might
be hoping for some "success" and lots of "magic"
this time when their youthful ambitious project BACHNA AE
HASEENO hits the marquee. It's the successful conglomerate
of director Siddharth Anand and composer duo Vishal-Shekhar
(V-S) this time and do they create the same magic as they
did it in SALAAM NAMASTE? After a spate of mediocre musical
releases, can BACHNA AE HASEENO revive the fortunes for the
esteemed banner and put them in the race for top honors in
the charts? Apparently it has everything going in their favor-
peppy vocals, chirpy lyrics and a set of rollicking musical
outburst that can really pulsate "haseeno" (Bipasha
Basu, Deepika Padukone and Minnisha Lamba) to the beats of
most eligible bachelor (Ranbir Kapoor). So without a moments
delay, let us check it out!
Soft and delicate guitar strumming, in a stream of refreshingly
balanced chorals creates the mood of romantic tranquility
in the air as eclectically paced KK and Shilpa Rao makes mood
mushier in "Khuda Jaane". V-S are in great form
as they imbibe lovable romantic hues of "My Dil Goes
Mmmm" (SALAAM NAMASTE) with a pack of racy arrangements
that gives it a ravishingly vigorous appeal. Anvita Dutt Guptan's
romantic wordings infuses substantial amount of emotional
palpability that really makes this a beautifully ushered love
song. KK delivers a sure-shot chartbusting hit number where
peculiar sounding Shilpa Rao makes a remarkable presence and
appeal through her slender "n" svelte modulating
rendition. It's disco time as the solitary remix number "Khuda
Jaane (remix)" by Abhijit Nalani induces lots of pub-friendly
disco beat stuffing in this beautifully conceived number.
After dollops of subtle romanticism, its time for some "showstopper"
style of pulsating music in a typical "pop diva"
on floors type of hip-shaking soundtrack "Lucky Boy".
V-S make stridently loud melodic appeal, similar to their
hot female solo track "Mind Blowing Mahiya" (CASH)
to deliver the desired gloss and grandeur. It's again their
favorite Sunidhi Chauhan's racy vocals at the helm of affairs
with rustic touches delivered in tandem by Raja Hassan and
hip-hop emceeing by Hard Kaur. Sunidhi's rendition is authoritative
in its vociferous flows and do expect some really seductive
and eye-candy choreographic moves when it strikes big in its
scorching visual display.
V-S makes terrific experimental moves in creating "jadoo"
(magic) with talented Lucky Ali as their first association
delivers out bountiful of romantic surprises in mellifluously
driven "Aahista Aahista," It's a mushy love track
with a enchanting "lounge" appeal that gets synchronized
to perfection with delectable electronic sounds, soft electric
guitar strumming and subtle percussive elements. Silken voiced
Shreya Ghoshal's sensuously erupted vocals gels well with
Lucky's effervescent flows and smoothening arrangements.
Composer Shekhar Ravjiani, along with Sukhwinder Singh and
Himani Kapoor makes his first promising spark as a vocalist
in a traditional Punjabi folk "bhangra" number,
which emotes out folklore about everlasting lovers (?Mahi?
and ?Jogi?) in brilliantly composed "Jogi Mahi".
This time V-S treadmill the conventional YRF (Yashraj Films)
path of "bhangra" beat numbers as this celebratory
track brings memories of tracks like "Aisa Des Hai Mera"
and "Lodi" (VEER ZAARA). The highlight of this number
is that it abstains from regular "hip-hop" culture
and comes out as unadulterated traditional "bhangra"
track. V-S makes bombastic use of high-pitched "dhol"
that makes striking collision with thunderous percussions
and conventional strings in delivering out folksy Punjabi
feel.
