Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam - Super hit
Tera Jadu Chal Gaya - Average
Devdas - Hit
Shakti - Poor
If this had been a Arithmetic Progression , then the
music prospects of Deewaangee would have stood as:
Deewaangee - Hit
This has been the chronology of the music scores by
Ismail Darbar. Now let us examine as to what extent do
the arithmetic calculations work here. Written and
Directed by
Anees Bazmee who has given a super-duper hit romantic
musical Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha in 1998, comes with an
altogether genre - a thriller - the catch line reading
-
"Aashiquee Ki Nayee Hadh". A fresh combination of Ajay
Devgan, Akshaye Khanna and Urmila Matondkar star in
this Nitin Manmohan production who has given hits like
Bol Rahda Bol and Army earlier. Salim Bijnori and
Nusrat Badr write the lyrics and Ismali Darbar
composes. Vaibhavi Merchant is the choreographer.
As is rightly said - a task well begun is half done.
The album begins quite well with a beautiful number -
'Pyaar Se Pyaare Tum Ho Sanam'. Salim Bijnori's lyrics
are first rate
here and how one wishes that a newer location
(PLEEEEASE-WE-HAVE-SEEN-ENOUGH-OF-SWISS-COUNTRY-NOW)
would have helped. The song shifts from present
tense to past tense with 'Pyaar Se Pyaare Tum THEY
Sanam' - a solo by Sonu Nigam and as expected is a
sad version of the same. A song that will be liked by
mushy
hearts. Another added bonus is an instrumental of this
song.
The best song in the album is 'Saat Suron Ka' which is
a beautifully composed number that may be well
mistaken for a track from a Subhash Ghai movie. The
lyrics are
superb and Kavita Krishnamurthy is in great touch.
Udit Narayan is dependable as always. The number
appears as a solo version again by Kavita
Krishnamurthy and one is
in fact delighted. A very soothing track.
The way a restaurant doesn't serve a chicken biryani
without chicken, the same seems to be holding true for
the music companies that probably do not release a
music
score of Ismail Durbar till it has a 'Dhol' song. Ya
so here we go again with a dhol song - Dholi O Dholi
by Babul Supriyo and Kavita Krishnamurthy. And
surprise surprise -
where we were expecting the least we get a nicely
composed dhol song after a long long wait.
Sultry voice of Sunidhi Chauhan excites in a slow and
sensual - Yeh Taazgi Yeh Saadgi. A very good song
taking into consideration that when it will have
Urmila pouting on
these lyrics, it will hold it's own special meaning.
K.K is superb with Mahalaxmi in the duet for the same
number, which has some good lyrics by Nusrat Badr.
Overall, a good
song.
'Saasein Saasein Hain' is another romantic duet
by Sonu Nigam and Kavita Krishnamurthy which is also
entertaining. 'Ai Ajnabi' by Sunidhi Chauhan haunts.
Deewaangee gets a grand finale with 'Hai Ishq Khata'.
Ignore the comparisons with 'Aayiye - Aa Jaaiyee' from
Lajja picturised on Urmila w.r.t the costumes, sets,
lighting,
choreography, dance steps etc.etc.etc. and we have
another chartbuster in hands. Jaspinder Narula sings a
potential hit after a long time.
Let's be honest in the very beginning - "All the songs
in Deewangee entertain". Ismail Darbar really makes a
much desired balance between quality work and
commercial
aspect of an album. Composition is neither heavy duty
as was the case in Devdas not is it too situational -
as in Shakti. They are catchy, hummable and of good
quality.
