Music Review : Bachna Ae Haseeno
Vishal-Shekhar offers songs that are engaging from the word go.Album, Bachna Ae Haseenon has everything – peppiness, calming songs, Punjabi music and jazz. So wait no longer and put on the play button.
An unlikely combination of Lucky Ali and Shreya Ghoshal render Ahista ahista. What stands out in this contemporary track is the orchestra. And the singers’ voices complement the orchestra amazingly well. Lyrics by Anvita Dutt Guptan are not bad, but it’s the music that has a unique touch.
The title track will surely take the cake. Vishal-Shekhar have put in an entirely new flavour into Bachna ae haseeno, sung originally by late Kishore Kumar in 1977 for Hum Kissi Se Kum Nahin.
The song is an ideal mix of the glorious music of yesteryears and contemporary rhythms – a fusion that will be remembered for long. The composers have given the piece a completely enjoyable feel.
Jog mahi is one of those typical folk pieces merged with Bollywood tunes. Shekhar Ravjiani renders the song along with Sukhwinder Singh and Himani Kapoor. The number isn’t that great but would make for a good dance track.
A fantastic track comes in the form of Khuda jaane. Everybody seems to have done well in this slow and melodious track. Lyricist Anvita has written some original words while both the singers, Shilpa Rao and KK, have sung it brilliantly.
Shankar Mahadevan renders the oddly titled Small town girl. The music has a Punjabi base with lots of drumbeats thrown in.
Bachna Ae Haseeno has a couple of enjoyable pieces. The title track itself could make the album a big hit.
