Bollywood is fast emerging as the 'El-Dorado' for upcoming
musical talents and as predicted Onir's SORRY BHAI has some
magical moments in store for its listeners. Earlier Onir has
shown great aesthetics for soul-enchanting music and the results
were quite evident in the success of his earlier two ventures
- MY BROTHER NIKHIL and BAS EK PAL. After Vivek Philips and
Mithoon, once again he entrusts his confidence in an upcoming
composer in the form of Gaurav Dayal (SAY SALAAM INDIA) to
deliver the needful for him in SORRY BHAI. It has another
ground breaking surprise in the form of Nannette Natal, US
based jazz singer who makes her mark in Hindi filmdom with
her solitary presence. The flick is again counted special
for the return of prolific actress Chitrangada Singh in tinsel
town. So can this bundle of surprises be big listening feast
for its listeners! Will SORRY BHAI be a fortune-maker for
promising Gaurav Dayal and success for international talents
like Nannete Natal? Let's make a trip downhill into its workings
to find these facts out!
Gaurav Dayal comes out to be biggest musical surprise package
of this season as he picks up the racing stream of KK's snazzy
singing with the tempestuous feel of soft rock ballad in enthralling
sounding 'Mere Khuda'. It could have made Pritam proud as
the musical ingredients and stuffing's belongs to his kind
of composing. The tracks thrill to the hilt and strikes vigorously
as it is loaded with outrageously pulsating guitar riffs,
appealing saxophones and belligerent sounding percussive elements
that collages animatedly to create compassion of lively rock
feel. KK pulls out another winner by energizing out his engrossing
vocal outburst in the racy whirlpool of instrumental commotion.
Onir makes genuine choice in picking up 'Mere Khuda' as the
introductory soundtrack as it has got that infectious 'yuppie'
feel that can captivate listeners to listen further with never
ending zest.
The pulsating 'remix' version adds up fervor of 'club' remixing
flavors as it matches the zing of the track with bouncing
DJ claps and echoing impacts. The feel of Spanish guitar riffing
along with feminine soothing 'alaaps' can surely add to glam
quotient and can well be served as rollicking feast for pubs
and discotheques. If 'Tere Bin'(BAS EK PAL) was the one that
proved pioneering in its segment then 'Mere Khuda' can well
script out the positive word for this urbane friendly social
saga.
It was sensuous cum svelte voice of Sunidhi Chauhan in tracks
like 'Ashq Bhi' and 'Dheemey Dheemey' (BAS EK PAL) that erupted
out the inhibited eroticism in somber tones and now she makes
another smoothening impact in the immensely romantic track
'Pal'. The mushy jazz feel in its prelude followed by the
intimidating tempo of soft rock comes out with nimble-touched
flair. Earlier it was KK's refined voice and now its upcoming
talent Chayan Adhikari that forms to be part of this mushy
romantic bon-voyage that carries out the serene emotions with
great dexterity. Gaurav Dayal's wizardry in incorporating
out beautiful saxophones notes (similar to couple of impressive
Kenny G numbers) in the interludes is captivating as well
as mood-relaxing in it subtle overtones. Amitabh Verma's poetic
phraseology ('Pal Yeh Pal, Hawle Se Muskurate Hai, Pal Yeh
Pal, Dhere Se Gun Gunatein Hai'...) has that feather-touched
feel of romanticism that seeps into the senses with the overtly
sappy instrumental touches. It's 'remix' version by Eric Pillai
comes out with Afro-American hip-hop fervor that gets pulverized
with 'lounge' feel impacts but finally it plummets out to
be racing disco track that works moreover as strong promotional
feature element in the album. KK makes another remarkable
presence as he pounces back with his peculiar zestful vocal
thrust in the title track 'Sorry Bhai'. Vivek Philips, the
brainchild behind BAS EK PAL and MY BROTHER NIKHIL musical
success makes noteworthy presence as he mesmerizes the title
track with the subtlety of over-sappy sentimental melodic
hues embellished with sparkling voices. KK gets amicable support
of vivacious Sunidhi Chauhan and promising Abhishek Naliwal
in gesticulating out the emotional feel for the lovable 'bhai'
(brother). Amitabh Verma's emotionally affluent wordings are
again a great asset that catalyzes out a thematically somber
feel for the flick. It's likely to be big asset for both the
album as well as for flick's success as one can really feel
the penetrative tinges in its supple tones and excruciating
vocal gestures. The song comes out special for music friendly
urbane listeners for its mixed and matching of English cum
Hindi lyrics flavors and that too with varied shades of tempos
and styles of singing. Do play this loud when you really want
space from somebody you miss the most in your most happening
time, it will work!
Gaurav Dayal has points to prove and the show is still on
for him as he delivers out another promising melodic work
in his most consequential outing 'Jalte Hain' that comes out
in three different versions. Abhishek Naliwal makes the finest
effort in ushering out life in the first version with his
sonorous and reverberating baritones. This one comes with
Onir's peculiar style of visual narration (similar to 'Le
Chale' -MY BROTHER NIKHIL) as Amitabh Verma's poetic works
transits from pensive and thoughtful wordings ('Na jane khoye
kahan mere armaan, Poochti hai dil ki teese na jane kyun khafa...)
to ultimate romanticism ('Jalte hai chalte hai sang sang mere,
Khamoshi aahein andhere...) with flair. It's a gem of vocal
rendition as there is variation in the modulating pitches
as well as in the control of emotions that works with the
tangy feel of penetrative orchestration. KK's version comes
with similar lyrical flagrance that is captivating in expressive
flows but the feel is strikingly rich in soft rock feel with
brilliant display of guitar riffing and strumming. The arresting
feel of the track with mushy feel romantic overtures makes
it a special for some really fascinating romantic moments
in the flick. The third version is a racy 'remix' outburst
comes out with snooty jazz feel and loads of 'club-house'
grooves. Abhishek Naliwal's version gets elated for this 'spice
for life' disco big bang and works up progressively as his
sonorous voice melts down with thumping disco bangs.
