When it comes to the case of two girls vying for one
most eligible guy in the town , then Salman Khan is
the flavor of the season. First he appeared with
Karisma Kapoor and Sushmita Sen in 'Biwi No. 1'. Then
came two more flicks 'Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega' and
'Chori Chori Chupke Chupke' with Rani Mukherjee and
Preity Zinta. And now he becomes the center of
attraction of beauty queens Sushmita Sen and Diya
Mirza in 'Tumko Naa Bhool Paayenge' (TNBP). All the
three lead players didn't have a great 2001 behind
them professionally and even the director Pankuj
Parashar delivered some duds a few years back that
went by the name of 'Rajkumar' starring Anil Kapoor
and Madhuri Dikshit and Akshay Khanna's debut vehicle
'Himalaya Putra'. TNBP is a love story produced by
Gordhan Tanwani who has two super hits 'Ishq' and
'Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha' to his credit.
TNBP follows today's trend of roping in at least two
music directors. It has Daboo Malik giving company to
the duo of Sajid-Wajid. 'Bindiya Chamke' sung by
today's hot pair of Alka Yagnik and Sonu Nigam is a
routine Bollywood latka jhatka number composed by
Sajid-Wajid and just manages to stay afloat. It
doesn't find place among one of those songs that one
may put in a REPEAT mode !!!
'Kya Hua Tujhe' by Alka Yagnik and Sonu Nigam (again)
ia a soft melodious track featuring all the three lead
players with a chinese fair in the background. It is
composed by Daboo Malik and has lyrics by Salim
Bijnori. Undoubtedly a good hummable number, never
mind very slight shades of Anu Malik's 'Deewaana Hai
Ye Mann' from Chori Chori Chupke Chupke. 'Ye Bekhudi Deewaangi' by Sonu Nigam is another good number that
resembles 'Sahiba Sahiba' (Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega)
in terms of the singing style that varies from low
pitch to high intense one. The music by Sajid-Wajid
also has the similar feel about it. Jalis Rashid pens
the lyrics.
Move over Disco Dandiya and Disco Bhangra, Disco 'Eid
Song' has arrived. Sung with aplomb by Sonu Nigam,
Arvinder Singh and Sneha Pant, 'Mubaarak Eid Mubaarak'
is a Eid celebration number (although coming a bit
late when the festive season is already gone !!!!) It
is a fast paced beats based rhythmic number composed
by Sajid-Wajid.
But the real stealer is 'Kyon Khanke Teri Choodi' by
Salman's favorite Kamaal Khan. He delivers his best
along with Alka Yagnik in this funky number which has
been picturized in a youthful peppy manner. It is a
club dance song with Salman and Sushmita hip hopping
to the tunes by Sajid-Wajid and lip syncing to Jalees
Rashid's lyrics. This song will be popular among
masses and is a sure shot HIT. As with Kambakth
Ishq(Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya), Jaanleva (Moksha) and the
title song of Khullam Khulla Pyaar Karen, 'Kyon
Khanke...' too appears as a REMIX version in the shape
of 'MELODIC CLUB MIX' which is impressive as well.
Mandatory Punjabi number features as 'Mehndi Hai Lagi
Mere Haathon Mein' sung by Sonu Nigam and specialist
Jaspinder Narula. Music by Daboo Malik and Sudhakar
Sharma's lyrics have absolutely nothing new to offer
and one can't differentiate it with the umpteenth
number of Bhangra tracks heard before. It is a 'shaadi
byaah' number and can be given a convenient skip.
Disco Dandiya makes its presence felt in 'Main to
Ladki Kanwaari'. Comparisons with 'Dholi Taro Dhol
Baaje' from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam is inevitable and
the verdict is that it tries its best to reach up to
the masterpiece level but doesn't succeed too well in
that. Start and finish points of the number are very
much 'inspired' by 'Dholi Taro' but in entirety it is
just a very average song. Sonu Nigam, Sneha Pant and
anothe male singer (whose name hasn't been mentioned in
the inlay cover -- the reasons best known to the audio
company) sing this Sajid-Wajid composition.
TNBP is one of those rare Salman Khan movies that
doesn't boast of a great music score. Overall TNBP
isn't any great shakes with the exception of Kamaal
Khan's 'Kyo Khanke....' (which is quite good) and one
or two other average hummable tracks. You won't regret
skipping TNBP !!!
