Soundtrack

by Chaitanya Hegde (September 5, 2011)
Banner: Saregama India Ltd. & Indie Ideas
Label: Saregama-HMV
Music Director: Midival Punditz, Karsh Kale
Lyrics: Vishal Vaid, Gaurav Raina & others.

Soundtrack has an array of exciting original compositions, but what catches one's attention instantly is the inclusion of the remixes of two of Kishore Kumar's biggest songs – Ruk Jaana Nahin (Imtihaan ) andYeh Jeevan Hain (Piya Ka Ghar). And though Suraj Jagan is earnest in his rendition of Ruk Jaana Nahin, the lack of a fresh angle to the remix makes it a tad boring. But Yeh Jeevan Hain works well due to Malini Awasthi's folksy & striking vocals.

The lyrics of Banao disappoint, but the track clicks because Papon is incredibly charming in his rendition of this languidly paced modern day devotional number. Besides the Assamese singer's raspy vocals, the only other prominent feature in this soothing number is the acoustic guitar. However it's Papon's second song in the album Naina Laagey that blows your mind. MP & KK first composed this outstanding classical song for their 2009 album Hello Hello. They blend Indian vocals & instruments seamlessly with electronic rhythms to deliver a serene almost tender love song. This one's highly recommended for your Ipod listening.

In Atomizer MP & KK fuse mainstream with the eclectic and create a kicking dance track replete with thedhol and processed vocals – an addictive piece of music.

But the pick of the album is Ek Manzil, perhaps the only track that comes closest to being a filmi song and is somewhat similar to Pritam's compositions for the Bhatts. Ek Manzil opens dramatically with a magnificent cello piece. MP & KK embellish this soft rock number with flashes of Indian classical music and Vishal Vaid's soulful vocals contribute immensely to its haunting appeal. The melancholic cello sound returns as the mainstay for The Soundtrack theme, an engaging instrumental piece. Vaid also makes an appearance in Fakira, a Sufi meets electronic experimental number that's at best average.

Main Chala (Kailash Kher) is the quintessential Midival Punditz & Karsh Kale number. Their fans will recognize their style and love this track. With a heavy electronic-trance bed and powerful vocals by Kailash Kher, this one can get you into a hypnotic frenzy. Designed as a potential chartbuster and in spite of singer Anushka Manchanda's best efforts, What The F fails to sizzle. But that's a tiny blemish in an otherwise refreshing and spirited album.

Verdict: Go for it!

Lyrics aim for shock value
Sep 07, 2011 - Saumya Bhatia
Age Correspondent

If Bhag Bhag DK Bose surprised you, What the F is going on? will drive you over the edge. The track from the upcoming movie Soundtrack that stars Rajeev Khandelwal and Soha Ali Khan is creating a buzz with its tongue-in-cheek number sung by Anushka Manchanda.

"What the F is going on
Can't slow down
What the F is going on
I didn't see
What the F is going on
I am fallen over, oh can't you see"
Even as Bhag Bhag DK Bose from Delhi Belly was controversial and raised questions about the use of such provocative words, What the F is going on? stands for the four-letter word which is undoubtedly the most widely used slang these days.
The track has been written and produced by Midival Punditz and Anushka. But youngsters it seems are cool with such foul-mouthed songs and say there's nothing shocking about them.
Stylist Nikhil Aggarwal finds the number pathetic. He says, "I didn't like DK Bose either, but this song has nothing going in its favour neither the score nor the lyrics. Atleast, DK Bose was hummable, and I don't find it too controversial, in fact, there's something is missing here."
For Sakshi Sudan, professional, the song isn't a big deal. "It certainly didn't shock me, I don't think it will raise any controversies as people won't bother to raise questions. Everyone is aware what it stands for and there's no shock value attached to it."
Mohan Nahar, musician, says the track resembles Nelly Furtado's Maneater. "But the resemblance is just about it. Sadly, the chorus doesn't reach the crescendo and the song is too diluted. 'What the F' is barely noticeable. Secondly, unlike DK Bose which made a statement at our culture, this lacks punch."
Interestingly, movies today thrive on controversies and it's not surprising that people are willing to go to any length to grab attention. Himanshu Bhandari, DU student states, "Today, marketing or promoting a movie needs big money. Making a film stand apart in a bunch is a daunting task. They spend a lot more on promoting a film these days. This just follows the trend and apart from a few curious listeners it won't garner much interest."

True indeed...Ek manzil is a treat to listen to...thats my fav from the album. The music is good in it especially the opening music.

The soundtrack theme is also unique in its own way...makes us believe that there is music even in the horns of buses,taxis,cars,...rickshaws,trains...😆. In short,The hard days that we spend in the giant roads of our big cities are also musical 😆
