After the huge success of Kal ho naa ho I was expecting something much better than KHNH’s music for his next movie. But after seeing that the music was composed by Anu malik I wasn’t expecting anything really great or new. But Anu Malik has proven that he has the potential to deliver some good music when required.
Anu has done some interesting things in MAIN HOON NA. Such as in the song ’’Tumse milke’’.It has been long since I heard anything like this. The long forgotten genre of ’’qwallis’’ music has been recreated beautifully. Three songs are extremly good they are , the title track & its sad version, both are extremly good. I kept singing it for sometime now. I also like ’’Tumhe jo main ne’’ it is also really good and it has a feel of a mid 90’s songs.The sad version of the title track is sung by Abhijeet which has good lyrics written by Javed Akthar.
Javed Akther has an equal amount of effort put in to make this album sound good as much as Anu Malik.He is absolutely perfect in the song Main hoon na and equally sentimental in the sad version.Apart from these great songs there are also few average songs.Don’t get me wrong even those songs are good.’’gori gori’’, ’’Yeh fizayein’’&’’chale jise hawayien’’are the average songs.’’Gori gori ’’ is a typical party kind of a song with lyrics that are sung fast.’’yeh fizayein’’also sounds like a 90 kind of a song.’’chale’’song is sung by vasundra das who has sung this with a haunted feel like that of ’’suraj hua madham’’of K3G.
Apart from these songs there is a remix of the title track with the line’’I’ll be there’’ again and again.This songs is really good , the music is very energetic and it is left to Farah how she picturises this song.
My favourite song of this album is the title track.But the lyrics of my favourite is that of the sad version which goes like this....
Khoya hai paake jisne pyaar main hoon na
bachein main hoon bekarar main hoon na
koi to ho to aisa jisko apna keh sakoon
koi to ho aisa jiske dil mein reh sakoon
koi to kehta ek baar main hoon na
Khoya hai paake jisne pyaar main hoon na
bachein main hoon bekarar main hoon na
Jo bandhan doote jo apne doonde
aasa jaare phirse dooriyan
yeh kyun hota hai yeh dil rotha hai
bebas ho jathi hai yeh zamaan
apne to saare is kinaare reh gaye
ho tanha chala jo us baar main hoon na
Khoya hai paake jisne pyaar main hoon na
bachein main hoon bekarar main hoon na
jahan be mein jaaun jahan bhi mein dekhoon
saare chehre begane se hai
kabie koi tha jo mera hi tha
yeh kis se ab apsane se hai
kal zindigi ne khel khele they naye
kuch log jeete jeetke sab le gaye
phir se main aaye jiske haar main hoon na
