All the Best – Music Review
Rohit Shetty earlier made hit comedies like Golmaal and Golmaal Returns. Both were well received by the masses and the pair of Ajay Devgan and Rohit Shetty hit on the purple patch. They wish to continue the momentum with their new release ‘All the Best’. Movie promises to be a laugh riot and stars Ajay Devgan, Bipasha Basu, Fardeen Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Mugdha Godse, Asrani, Mukesh Tiwari, Ashwini Kalsekar and Johnny Lever. Music has been composed by Pritam and movie is a typical masala one. One can eagerly wait for elements like breath-taking stunts, splendid VFX, bankable face value with cool splash of rollicking thrust of rock-music and plenty of comedy. Pritam has been a roll with hits like New York, Dil Bole Hadippa and recently released Love Aaj Kal. So expectations are running high and ne expects Pritam Chakraborty to deliver big time in tune with large star cast of this larger than life flick.
Let’s begin with the track, ‘Dil Kare’. With blazing guitar playing in the background and accompanied by roaring vocals, this is sure to be a pulsating track. Concert lovers will love the feel of this song. Vocals by Suraj Jagan and Rupam Islam, dil kare will be in demand for some time. 'Haan Main Jitni Martaba' is a romantic track with varied tempo and supple vocal harmonies. Pritam wonderfully uses electric guitars, bass guitars, pianos and keyboards fillers in the songs of ‘All the Best’.
Title track 'All the Best' is totally fun with musical effect ruling the rust. Sung by Rana Mazumder, Soham Chakrabarthy along with Antara Mitra, this song thrives on ‘Samba’ music and rock music. 'Kyon' is a melodious song that I well sung by Clinton Cerejo. This number is most likely to touch your heart. The final offering is ‘You Are My Love' that is filled with fun and quite a racing number it is. The album in its totality is definitely Paisa-Vasool.
Love Aaj Kal – Music Review
Love Aaj Kal is the production debut of established actor Saif Ali Khan. Directed by talented Imtiaz Ali, movie gave a big hit to bollywood after long. Earlier, the director had also given us memorable ‘Jab We Met’ that had memorable songs. Pritam is once again the director of the music and he has left no stones unturned in producing great music. The film has Saif and Deepika Padukone as leading star cast. As far as songs are concerned, there are total seven originals and three remixes in the soundtrack.
The album starts with ‘Aahun aahun’ that is definitely racy and fast paced. It is a kind of mix of Punjabi and Hindi song. The song has been sung by Neeraj Shridhar and is an interesting mix of two different genres and the combination works out pretty well. This song has proved to be a chartbuster. The song also has a remixed version that has been equally appreciated by the crowd.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has rendered his soulful voice for the next song ‘Aaj din chadeyya’. It is basically a romantic song that works out pretty well and somehow you can never ignore Rahet’s voice. He has got this magnetic charm about his voice. The song will stick with you. Sunidhi Chauhan and Neeraj Sridhar have put their best foot forward for ‘Chor bazari’ and it is definitely one of the highlights of the album. It has got peppy music and makes you groove. ‘Main Kya Hoon’ is a fast paced song wonderfully sung by KK. If you are seeking Punjabi Flavor then go for ‘Thoda thoda pyar’. ‘Twist’ is another song sung by Neeraj Sridhar which is basically a dance number. The last song is ‘Ye dooriyan’ sung amazingly well by latest craze in the town Mohit Chauhan. Overall, a good album that you can get hold of.
