Classy mellifluous feel of songs like ''Jab Se Tere Naina''
and ''Saawariya'' (SAAWARIYA) brought the name of Monty Sharma
to the marquee, a phenomenal prodigy consistently working
in various departments of Bollywood music industry for decades.
Monty's immaculate talent has a wide spectrum of presence
in Bollywood that ranges from a skilled keyboard player, reliable
musical arranger, most successful background scorer and finally
to the mantle of music director in Hindi films with the big
success of SAAWARIYA. Now, CHAMKU, his second offering comes
out as a realistic action packed thriller about Naxalites
and outlaws, directed by Kabeer Kaushik (critically acclaimed
SEHAR), with an intrinsic feel of ethnic and folksy music
in every soundtrack. Despite its peculiar sounding title (CHAMKU)
and low expectations, the album promises some quality music
in its audio packaging. Can CHAMKU be another SAAWARIYA for
Monty Sharma? Let's check this out!
Shreya Ghoshal's outstandingly melodious and sprightly ushered
lively vocals in different shades and tones come as fresh
whiff of air to brighten up senses and creating an ambience
for a delightful love communion in lovable sounding ''Aaja
Milke''. Monty's well synchronized westernized arrangements
deliver an ethnical ''hilly'' feel in its serene sounds. Shreya's
mellifluous vocals rule the show comprehensibly and do feel
her sensuous ''alaap'' in the prelude followed by modulating
overtones in following ''antaras'' that exhibits her immaculate
command over delivering various emotions, shades and moods
in one song. Shail's decently delivered rendition works in
tandem, making this a 'delightful-to-ear' song. Sameer's appropriate
wordings gel suitably with the tranquil love feel of the track
but the song completely belongs to the singing prowess of
Shreya Ghoshal. ''Aaja Milke'' adds up as another credible
offering from the lead female singer who has been ruling the
charts for years and this adds up as another proud addition
to her praiseworthy hit collections.
Folk music makes their strong dominance as the first among
this genre arrives in the form of painfully sounding ''birah''
(separation) song ''Kithe Jawan'' in the voice of Richa
Sharma. It's a fusion based folk song where inspiring westernized
arrangement along with traditional instrumental flows collage
together to deliver an upbeat background score appeal. The
soreness of emotions and varying pitch in Richa's voice is
the highlight of the song. Monty's strong inputs in arrangements
and Richa's impressive voice should be making this an imposing
background score for the film.
''Bin Daseyaa'', another intrinsically folksy attribute comes
as ''remix'' version of ''Kithe Jawan'' where relaxed ''lounge''
beat fillers are infused in it to give it poignant shades
to this melancholic track. The recurring beat patterns and
lounge impact works in tandem with Richa's voice. Both these
folk songs are likely to have more takers amongst folk song
lovers and are expected to be making a strong melodramatic
feel on the big screen.
