Bollywood and Harry Jerry have both had a similar phase in the recent past. Dumb and low profile. With the multiplex-producers issue resolved and my exams over, we both can get back to irritating people and pursuing our million dollar dreams. I’ll get back to blogging with a music review of the upcoming flick Kambakkht Ishq. The Akshay-Kareena starrer is one of the most anticipated flicks of 2009. Well almost every other movie now comes with this ‘anticipated’ tag. The film is a comedy. I hope it turns out to be one.
The soundtrack for Kambakkht Ishq has been composed by Anu Malik. Now that’s why I had to think twice before posting a review. Anyways the title track sounded so good in the promos that I had to go give it a try. Turns out that the title track wasn’t really composed by Anu Malik, it’s a RDB creation. So does Anu Malik’s music stand out? Let’s find out!
Om Mangalam
The soundtrack starts off with Om Mangalam which is song being aired on national TV with the promos. The song is pretty catchy and should get you humming the very first time you listen to it. Composed and written by RDB, a UK based Bhangra band, Om Mangalam is a smooth addictive track. A definite start.
Lakh Lakh
A commercial Bollywood masala flick and no Neeraj Shridhar? No way! Here comes Neeraj with Lakh Lakh. It’s a Hindi-Punjabi mix song, a typical Bollywood masala trend these days. An average song.
Bebo
At first I thought our very own Kareena would be singing this one. Alisha has sung this pathetic track that goes like this;
Bebo mein Bebo,
Dil mera lelo,
Dil dene ayi,
Le lo ji, le lo.
I bet even Saif wouldn’t be happy about a song like this. Thumbs down. The person who wrote this song needs to be banned or something. The lyrics are so pathetic.
Kambakkht Ishq
A title track makes or breaks a Bollywood flick. A lot of energy goes into making this one special track. So it’s not surprising why KK and Sunidhi Chauhan were chosen to for the job of playback singers for this track. A decent track. The lyrics are ordinary.
Kyun
A slow track follows Kambakkht Ishq. Shaan and Shreya Goshal team up for this attempted romantic number. A decent track but it kind of gets on your nerves in the middle of it. Kyun means ‘why’ and that’s what I want to ask Anu Malik. Kyun bhai kyun?
Remixes
Anu Malik seemed to have realized how badly he could have screwed up the soundtrack and went for the ultimate Bollywood soundtrack trick. Remixes. It’s like revising for your exam from your notes. Below average remixes would make you wanna throw that CD out of the window.
Welcome to Hollywood
Oh wait! The soundtrack isn’t over it. Salim-Sulaiman Merchant have composed a track which is buried below those stinking remixes. It’s a little over 2 minutes and I guess it’s just some sort of an intro track. One of the finest things in the soundtrack although nothing special about it.
My Rating: 2/5
