Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge- Music Review
Athithi Tum Kab Jaoge was one of the first movies of 2010 to do decent business on the box office. The movie stars ever so reliable Ajay Devgn, super talented Konkona Sen and versatile actor Paresh Rawal. The movie belonged to comedy and drama genre and along with commercial success, it also tasted critical acclaim. Interestingly, most of the recent movies of Ajay Devgan were in comedy genre and they all have done good business. Remember, Golmaal series and All The Best? This movie has been directed by Ashwani Dhir and the music department has been handled by troika of Pritam, Amit Mishra and Vishal Bhardwaj. Irshad Kamil has penned down the lyrics.
The album begins with ‘Aaja Aaja’ sung by Raghubir Yadav, Ajay Jhingran and Rajneesh. This one is the title song and the singers have managed to maintain the balance throughout the song. The song also has some interesting comic instances and dialogues that make it even more effective. The second song is the remixed version of same song ‘Aaja Aaja’. A complete dance number this one is.
The next number is ‘Athithi Tum Kab Jaoge’ sung by Amit Mishra who is also the composer of the song. The number has desi tune and western beats. A humming number basically, it has been composed in an interesting way. ‘Dohay’ is the next track and it has a serious and sober tune. The lyrics are meaningful and the chorus is effective.
The next track is ‘Jyothi Jalaile’, sung by talented Sukhwinder Singh and composed by Vijay Bhardwaj. This one is more like a parody of ‘Beedi’ song from Omkara. You get the feeling that singer is singing it at a temple or a pooja gathering. No doubt, the song is very lively. The last number of the album is ‘Sukh Karta’ that is more like a prayer. All in all, an okay album that you can try once.
