While watching this movie, I fell in love with Ranbir Kapoor and after this one more affair started i.e. with songs of BARFI movie… what a amazing movie!
The album kicks off with the title track Barfi! With the sound of whistles greeting the listener. The song has a very English charm.
Its peppy yet simple beats are a total delight, while the lyrics bring out the naughtiness of Ranbir’s character in the movie.
There is another version of the song Ala Barfi!. Crooned by Swanand Kirkire, this is a bit different from the original and has more focus on the vocals. Next up is Main kya karoon, a romantic track penned by Ashish Pandit and crooned by the melodious Nikhil Paul George.
The song recalls the fervor of young romance and the tune is very new age with a very soft feel. Rounding up the album is Phir le aya dil. The composition is good with the interplay of piano and guitar, laced with Indian sounds. Pritam deserves all the kudos for composing such a wonderful song.
It also has a reprise version by Arijit Singh. It is as pleasant as the original but has a more ghazal feel to it. There are different moods here - at times an Indian feel with the tabla and in some intervals, a jazz feel with the piano. Overall, the soundtrack is a joyride sans flaws. I would say, you visualize the picture when you listen songs of this movie. Recommendation:Must have album at home
