Life comes back full circle for the makers of 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' as the same team returns with 'Dil Diya Hai'.
First of all good news for all Reshammiya fans! The composer in Reshammiya gives the singer in him 8 out of 12 tracks in total.
While Reshammiya is full throttle in high pitch, new entrant Himani puts her husky vocals to best use as she sings in a low pitch, hence making for a sensual outing.
After having Himani and Tulsi Kumar for company, Reshammiya goes solo with 'Yaadan Teriyan' that turns out to be the best of the enterprise so far!
For the first time in the album, Reshammiya makes way for some other singer to take center stage. It is Alisha Chinai this time who croons 'Jabse Aankh Ladi' with Jayesh Gandhi getting one of those rare opportunities to sing as a main singer rather than the voiceovers he has been doing for Reshammiya since years.
'Chalo Dildar Chalo' that comes in the end is a shift from the melodious numbers heard in the past and takes a peppy route instead. Newcomers
Hemchandra and Vinit are good behind the mike while Himani gives them an able company in this romantic number. On hearing the song a couple of times, one realizes that it sound more like a number coming from Pritam stable rather than Reshammiya's in the way it is paced with an overall feel good peppy effect. The mood is further enhanced by the remix version that is apt for a song like this.
While 'Chalo Dildaar Chalo' makes for a fine finale after a not-so-happening 'Jabse Aankh Ladi', a listener would still be compelled to revisit the songs sung by Reshammiya, especially 'Yaadan Teriyan', 'Afsana Banake' and 'Dil Diya' [in that order]. Though 'Ahista Ahista' would still rate as his best album in recent times, Reshammiya fans won't really mind preferring the score of 'Dil Diya Hai' over some of the other releases by the composer in last few weeks.
