Dilwale is the last big soundtrack of 2015 that has just been unveiled. Needless to say, there are massive expectations from the musical score here. It is good to see a balanced count of songs in there, what with composer Pritam and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya pairing up for as many as half a dozen songs with one theme track added as well. Since Dilwale is a fun film in the offering, one expects this Rohit Shetty affair to carry a complete score.
When the sound of bagpiper comes right at the beginning of’Gerua’, one gets an impression of a song of a different kind in the offering. However, it is flute that takes over pretty soon, hence setting the stage for a romantic outing that Pritam has in store. Oh yes, this is also the point where a brief interlude makes one wonder if there would be’Sajde Mein Yun Hi Jhukta Hoon - Khuda Jaane’ encore from Bachna Ae Haseenocoming up next. However, all of that changes the moment Arijit Singh and Antara Mitra take over the center-stage. It is so refreshing to hear the couple behind the mike and by the time the line’Rang De Tu Mohe Gerua’ comes in, the song totally wins you ever, hence emerging as one of the most definite romantic duets in the recent times. A huge chartbuster all the way which warrants repeat hearing.
The music of Dilwale is a winner all the way. It has the right commercial ingredients and balance which makes it a wholesome score. Pritam justifies his decision to be selective around his films and ensures that he ends the year on a high
