MUSIC REVIEW ’’MUJHSE DOSTI KAROGE’’……. ROOFTOP ROMANCE Its great news for the movie buffs. Dr. Lata Mangeshkar , a paragon of excellence , is back with her invincible and infallible charming voice.
Mujhse Dosti Karoge (MDK) is the latest seasons flavour of a mouth watering candy , the taste of which sustains till the last track of the album. ’’Yash Chopra’’ a man in love with love, dishes out another candyfloss romance laced with an enviable star caste , spectacular setup, lush locales, lilting music and the usual razzle dazzle. ’’MDK’ … directed by a film critic turned director Kunal Kohli is the latest trump card out of Yash Chopra pack. As far as musical compositions are concerned , this flick too carries an indelible stamp of highly entertaining and likable music. The combination of the debuntante Rahul Sharma , son of the celebrated santoor maestro Pt. Shiv kumar Sharma, and indisputable lyricist late Anand Bakshi has genuinely produced some sugar coated melodies to be embraced by the music lovers of all generation thus successfully carrying the romantic image of the producer.
The curtains are up with a thumpy track ’’Andekhi anjani’ , embellished by young and yuppy singing by Lata Mangeshkar and udit Narayan , it has all the elements of a chartbuster . Lush orchestrals , metallic beats and breezy singing makes this number a surefire hit. Its really amazing how Lataji matches her voice with the character quarter of her age. ’’Jaane dil Me’ is a lovely track laced with a cool and cosy singing by Lataji and Sonu nigam . Here Sonu Nigam has given 100% with his matured and subdued voice never going overboard , making the track the best of the lot. ’’Saanwali ek’ is Udit Narayans show case all the way. Essentially a teaser it lifts the face value of the album. ’’O My Darling’’ , performed by popstar Alisha Chinoy and sonu Nigam is a naughty track strictly for the teens.A fast and foot tapping track it elevates the box office success of the film. The title track ’Mujhse…..’’ is a feast of talent coming together to vouch for a super track. The intoxicating voice of Asha Bhonsle and the duo of Udit and Sonu make it a happy listening. The track does carry the echoes of Late R.D. Burman. It is essentially a Yash chopra brand of music. Now coming to ’’medley’’, it is a matter of mixed feeling. Highly compromising, its too long and tiring.
Its high time that even confident moviemakers succumb to time tested items which some time fall flat on the face. An absolute no! no!. Please , no more mimicries in the name of medleys. All in all , stay tuned to relax in a cosy evening. created by Anand Potdar
