Another good album of this year released few days earlier with a Tag “Chocolate”. The tag also displays a very stylish poster of the movie and with music Pritam and Lyricists Mayur Puri, Praveen Bhardwaj & Dev Kohli. I have listened to the album more than 10 times from the day it released and then decided to write a review on this album. Let’s see how the album moves on.
Before Describing the songs of the album I tell you that all the songs are inspired or I can say Pritam has recreated all the songs. He picked from many sources and made a collection of some of best songs most are western and two from Pakistani singers. But the good thing is that he has done a good job in the end by rendering all with slightly modern style.
Halka Halka Sa Yeh Nasha
Sonu Nigam
Mayur Puri
A great flute work start impressing you with the start of this song and Singing by Sonu Nigam gives various moods as the song is picturized on different actors and we can see it in the Trailer. A slight ting of Sharara Sharara number appeals the song to be listened more then once. A high beat western music is indulged in the song with continuous background English chorus. Overall a superb track and it must be very situational in the movie. A remix of the same track which is nowadays on-air in the trailers. Sunidhi Chauhan also sings with Sonu and bit of fast track then the original one. Its also likeable track.
Zehreeli Raatein
K.K
Praveen Bhardwaj
Great song. the song of the year. But whole tune is Copied from a hit Pakistani pop song. I am more disappointed for the singer who sung the original song. Last year Kunal Ganjanwala takes all awards for best singing and the song for which he was given the award was actually song by a singer Najam Sheraz. This years already hit track Woh Lamhe Zeher sung by Atif Aslam and now this track is originally sung by Atif and he won all National awards for this song the song goes like this “Ab To Adat Si Hai Mujh Ko Aisay Jeney Main..” K.K sung song very well but I would wish if the credit is to given to Atif for this song. Pritam has to take Atif for this song. He already has debuted in Indian Music with Woh Lamhe so there was no problem in attempting him. Well as far as song is concerned it the best song with some superb music and if listen to original you will enjoy more.
Jhuki Jhuki
Kailash Kher & Sunidhi Chauhan
Dev Kohli
Remember Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Saya Bhi Jab Saath Chod Jaey Dilagi. the start of the song is picked from that and if you are intense music listener you will observe that the basic tune is the same. Singing is great in the song and Dev Kohli is master of this kind of songs. Another western music indulged song. I don’t why any song sung by Kailash Kher seems to be a Sufi style song but this song is different in a way that the music is totally different with the singing a good composition and arrangements are nearly perfect.
Mummy
Sunidhi Chauhan
Mayur Puri
The song starts with a music that looks like musical chairs (the game) music. You must be smart enough to identify the song is sung by Sunidhi. Lyrics are very ordinary. Its instrumental can be a good one for years and you eliminate vocal you would love the song. If ever heard Venga Boyz songs the song is on VB’s music pattern. Overall great music and poor https://lyrics.
Panaahon Mein Mohabbat
Kunal Ganjawala
Praveen Bhardwaj
Pop style song with some good singing. The song is a derivative of Zehreeli Raitein. Though not good as that but still good enough to get you on. Lyrics are again the let down part in the song like “Dil Tabah Kar Liya Tujhe Yaad Kar Liya” not seems much convincing to me. Music is very good and high beats in westernized style continues in the album.
Bheega Bheega Sa Yeh December Hai
Sunidhi Chauhan
Praveen Bhardwaj
This is a Khichdi. I mean to say it’s the mixture of several songs. One by Pakistani Singer Abrar. Second by Yanni G’s True Nature and third is Halka Halka of the same album. Sunidhi has done her best in the song. She spelled December in a changed style. But overall the Khichdi works.
Khalish Si Hai
Kunal Ganjawala and Suzan
Mayur Puri
Final song of the album is also superb. Singing is again great. Heard before feeling continues here too. This time I still not able to identify the songs that which were the two songs whose merger is in form of this song but as soon as they recalled by me I will edit this. But surely two songs Khichdi formula is here. The song is fast in its pace and with the continuation of western music the song will soon be popular among Youth.
Chocolate Theme
Instrumental
Westernized theme with Chocolate word used in the most leaves a good impression of the album.
On the whole well arranged album by Pritam and some good singing is observed in the album. the album will soon be on the top if promoted well. My recommendation for the album is 100%. Forget about original non original concept and just listen to the album another treat this year for music lovers.
Thankz
It’s Sana (((((O)))))
