When a name like Aamir Khan is associated with a project you can be rest assured of its quality and the chances of any inferiority or loopholes just vanish out of the window. But this time the ace khan has not gone with his regular set of music composers A.R Rehman or Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and has tried to experiment with Ram Sampath. So does the experiment pay off? The answer is an resounding yes!
The album starts with an already making waves Bhag Dk Bose** which is not your run of the mill songs and can only be appreciated with an open mindset. The song though may challenge the cultural sentiments of some deserves to be applauded for its uniqueness and out of the box creation as far as both music and lyrics are concerned. Vocals by Ram Sampath suits the mood and tempo of this song which is sure to become a rage among youth in days to come. Certainly a refreshing start to the album!
The next offering Nakkad Wale Disco **is as weird and wacky as the title suggests and boasts of the most unique rythem and singing you must have encountered with. This song is a perfect follow up to the 1st song and maintains the level of listener’s interest. The signature lines Nakkad wale disco udhaar wale khisko provide a sense of lightness and humor to this cleverly penned number.
Up next is Saigal Blues** which is a tribute to a generation when such songs frequently prevailed and enjoyed. This cant be termed as a full fledged song and therefore might not find many takers and might act as a turnoff after the two chartbusters.
The fourth track Bedardi Saiyaan** is an earthy number with a rustic feel attached to it and is more of a situational song lacking the charm and freshness that can keep the listeners adhered. Vocals by Sona Mohapatra are the saving grace of this otherwise average number.
Now as you thought the album has lost its uniqueness, you encounter Ja Chudail **the most weird and astonishing number you must have heard in recent times! The song may not be appealing as Dk bose but provides the much required impetus to the album. Suraj Jaggan powerful vocals are quite apt for this song.
Next in line is the first romantic number Tere siva** which will be liked by the audiences who prefer mushy romantic tracks. The song is neither brilliant nor bad and is a welcome change from all the faced paced tracks.
The album delivers another gem in the form of Sweety Tera Pyaar** which would be lapped by the audiences who adore Punjabi rock songs. Music composer Ram Sampath is back in his elements which rejenuvates the listener’s interest in the album .
The last offering is I Hate You** which is a kind of parody and looks like an amalgamation of different tracks put together. The song has few dialogues delivered by Aamir khan in a very interesting style that act as a value addition to this track.
Like M.S Dhoni in cricket Aamir in bollywood seemed to have a mida’s touch that turns everything into gold upon his touch. Same can be said about Ram Sampath as this album will put him along the big league and will proove both a turning point as well as a milestone in his career. Certainly a refreshing and unorthodox take on music which needs to be applauded!
