If you're waiting to see Dharma Production's remake of the Amitabh Bachchan cult film, Agneepath to watch steamy scenes between Hrithik and Priyanka, we don't blame you. But there's another reason to get excited. Why, you ask? The film is going to have a stellar soundtrack.
The full album hasn't been released yet, but we've heard snippets and it's pretty clear that there are going to be some chart buster tracks.
"Chikini Chameli" has been talked about for the past couple of months as the new "Shelia Ki Jawani." Katrina Kaif as the item girl won't be the only repeat with this track. While "Sheila" was an original, fantastically sexy dance, we're not sure how "Chikini Chameli" isa rehashed version of music director, Ajay Atul's hit song, "Kombdi Palali" from the movie, Jatra. For Agneepath they have just slapped on Hindi lyrics from Amitabh Bhattacharya. But, the song's beat, melody and energy is so outstanding that there's no question it will be a hit the second time around. It would have been nice if could have come up with a new track.
A song that is totally fresh and that is going to be as beautiful to watch as it is to listen to is "Gun Gun Guna." Based on the trailer and all the rest of the soundtrack, it seems like the moves that we have already seen Priyanka Chopra bust out will be to this track. The pairing of Sunidhi Chauhan and Udit Narayan is both welcomed and unexpected as he's been off the scene for a while. Sunidhi's chubuli rendering of the track is sure to add some sass.
Last listed on the album is "Deva Shree Ganesha." It's full of energetic Marathi percussion and praises the Hindu deity Ganpati. The vocals have a baritone strength but flow from note to note like butter. In Bollywood films, religious tracks often are the backdrop for violence. We're hoping that the visuals match the beauty of the sound. This track is going to get your foot tapping and turn you towards a temple.
