~~Bachna Ae Haseeno~~

I was waiting eagerly for music release of "Bachna Ae Haseeno" as Vishal Dadlani-Shekhar Ravjiani kept stating in their interviews and their reality shows that this was going out to be a rocking album. Finally the music was released on 7th July without much advertisement (i got this album when i was searching for Rock On album on net) .
After disastrous "TPTM" YRF is seriously in need of a hit and in the promos this movie sounds interesting (I do not what’s really it contains). The music of this movie is given by Vishal and Shekhar, who are back after two flops-De Taali and Bhootnath Here is may take for music-

1. Khuda Jaane-This first song of movie has a nice, soft, mellow tune until the chorus hits and eventually it turns into Vishal Shekhar’s every so popular rock/metal beats. The starting of this song will remind of song "Aao Na".In this song KK totally redeems himself and his high pitched intense voice lends soul to the song and does quite well here and female singer Shilpa Rao has freshness in her voice. Lyrics of this song are written by a newbie Anvita Dutt Guptan (as far as I know by the way who she is?) and she’s done a splendid job.

"Sajde me yuhin jhukta hun,

tum pe hi aake rukta hun,

Kya ye sabko hota hai,

humko kya lena hai sabse

Tumse hi sab baate ab se

ban gaye ho tum meri dua

Khuda jaane ki main fida

khuda jaane main mit gaya

Khuda jaane ki main mit gaya

ki ban gaye ho tum mere khuda."

If u are fond of love song you surely gonna love this intensely romantic number. This song is also there in a remixed form which is a fast pacy version of the original slow romantic track. This song has been very decently mixed and the feeling of the love has been mainted inspite of its fast speed.

2. Lucky Boy- this is a perfect Vishal –Shekhar type of song with constant thumping dance floor beats in the background. This song has Punjabi lyrics in the beginning of the song and Sunidhi gave her seductive voice to this song. Thumping dance floor beats in the background (just like-Mahiyaa from Cash) is sufficient to makes this song a perfect favourite for the lounge and club music lovers.

I think Hard Kaur is becoming favourite of all the music directors and in this song too she raps in between making it all the more interesting. For the first time song did not grab my attention but when I heard it two or three times I started loving it too.

"Ho kya gazab ki tujhpe meherbaaniyan,

main ik nazar daulun jo tujh to,

badh jaaye mere saath ten yaariyan,

khadmon me tere lakh jannat ho

aankhon main baate hain

baaton mem vade hain

vadon mein baahein hain

tu baahon mein aa ja zara"

I heard that this song is pictursed on Bipasha.... ahemmmmmm now I have to wait for the video too.

3. Aahista Aahista-This is the third track of movie and it can be considered as Lucky Ali’s comeback song. This song and the Lucky Ali’s alap reminded me of "Fanaa and Anjana Anjani from Yuva". This song has a club/disco type of beat with Ali’s amazing and Shreya’s angelic voice-over. This song starts with sweet guitar tuning but later track is a little too fast. Lyrics of the song are beautiful and it’s a proclamation of first love and is again by Anvita Dutt Guptan.

"Aahista Aahista,

Mujhe Yakeen Ho Gaya,

Aahista Aahista,

Yeh Dil Yahin Kho Gaya

Yun Gira Gira Hai Chand Ya,

Teri Hai Roshni,

Yun Udi Udi Si Hai Zameen

Aahista.. Ho Ho Ho Ho"

The best thing of this song is the way Vishal Shekhar blends Ali’s atypical voice and Shreya’s feminine voice together in this track to create a unique romantic number.

4. Jogi Mahi- when I heard this song for the first time, I instantly got hooked with this song and heard it for three times in one go. Punjabi love ballad is a must in Yash Raj’s banner film (take example of Veer Zara, Tara rum pum) and this song will remind you of the same age old Yash Raj culture. This songs start with a voice which I was unable to recognize and when I checked the singers I was shocked to see that Shekhar Ravjiani has given his voice to this song and later on Sukhwinder joinshim in the song. At the end of song Himani kapoor (remember her?? She is from Saregamapa and was VS favorite) lends her voice. Lyrics of the song are perfect and tell us the love story of a boy and girl..

"Suno ek thi kaanch ki gudiya,
Suno ek thi pyaar ki pudiya,

Sadke us pyaar ke

Suno ek tha Pind ka shera,

aaya kaske baandh eo sehra,

Sadke us pyaar ke

Saji thi doli wo, chada tha ghodi wo,

Khoya jaane kahan, inna sona pyaar baliye

Jogi maahi heer ranjheya"

The song will surely gonna touches our heart. Vishal-Shekhar impresses with the use of dholak and dafli percussions and Indian strings. Really speaking this song completely belongs to Shekhar as a story teller and this time he hits the right tone. I liked this song right off the bat. It’s a song that pumps you up and surely going to be a hit one.

5. Small Town Girl – For the first time when I heard this song on my player I thought it to be a bonus track in form of remix of "Preety woman" but as the track progressed I was surprised. This song is in voice of Shankar Mahadevan and is a celebration of the small town girl but also a warning that she is not to be taken lightly. But this song has "Preety Women" and "Ticket to Hollywood" touch with it. Shankar Mahadevan has given perfect articulation of English, Hindi and Punjabi lyrics of this song. After a long time we got a hindi song where the heroine is being teased. I loved this song because of Shankar’s way of singing and he gets right into the mood here.

6.Bachna Ae Haseeno- Here comes the most awaited song of the movie, the title track. Initially I was confuse that are they going to use the original song only but here comes in VS. Bachna Ae Haseeno has everything you would expect in a song and Vishal Shekhar resurrect the evergreen classic by making Kishore Kumar’s son Sumit Kumar sing along with his dad! Vishal Dadlani’s raps in the song are a much needed zing for generation next! The additional wordings added to the song suits the song and is not at all scary.

"Tujhse Log Kahnge,

Na Kar Pyaar Mujhe

Mein To Lakh Bura Hoon,

Need Chura Loon Hosh Uda Doon

Main To Baahon Mein Le Ke,

Raah Bhula Doon Baat Bana Doon

Chahe Jahaan Dil Ko Chupaa

Baaton Hi Baaton Mai

Do Mulaqaton Mein Le Loon

Bachna Ae Haseena Lo Mein Aa Gaya"

This is no doubt the best song of the album and a perfect hit.The best thing is that they didnt tried to change the grace of the song.


My Verdict:This album is going to appeal to each and everyone. Vishal-Shekhar finally hit the right cord after De Taali and Bhootnath. This song has typical Yashraj stamp all over it and it’s a kinda music most people love. Grab the album…I doubt that you will be disappointed. Now I am waiting for 15th august to watch this movie. I would easily give 4 out of 5 stars.
