With the glossary of lyrics featuring ‘God, Adam, Remote Control, MTV, Biwi, Love Ka Season, Reason, Channel, Dil Bola’, please don’t expect staying power tunes. Have some fun, relax and go the gym! This album is not meant for too serious people or music lovers. David Dhawan selected peppy and mass-oriented tunes. Ever heard of laughing therapy? Please buy this album if you know someone or it’s you, who needs such a treatment because this one will do perfectly. Anu Malik and Sameer are around while DJ Aqueel supports in a ’djing’ way.
Chand Ko Tod Doonga
Abhijeet, Anuradha Sriram
David Dhawan should realise that Govinda is no more ruling and gone are these days with Coolie No.1’s music. Well this one is oriented to the masses but it is mediocre! There is no need to wait for the melody. Abhijeet and Anuradha engage in the singing but the tune doesn’t support them. Even the music arrangements are loud and messy. It’s good to listen to this one while eating ice-cream.
Supposedly a rehash of Biwi No.1’s ’Chunari Chunari’ by Abhijeet and Anuradha Sriram but it is a disappointment.
God Promise, Dil Dola
Rahul Vaidya, Shreya Ghoshal
God Promise what? It was said that Anu Malik knows the pulse of Bollywood and let me confirm that! It has all the needed techno beats, melody, pop sounds and masala music to appeal to the masses! A stupid title turned out into a listenable track. Indian Idol’s Rahul Vaidya impresses here. Malik ensures proper punch and plays agilely with the guitar sounds in the antra. One thing is sure that it is an in and out Anu Malik tune! Super-hit!
Rehash: The prelude musical beats are direct lifts from Badaal’s ‘Yaar Mera Yaara’ and Main Hoon Na’s ‘Tumse Milke Dil’. They are spread throughout the piece. It is also a mix of ‘No Entry’ songs.
Hello Madam, I’m Your Adam
Rahul Vaidya, Prajakta Shukre
A woman screaming, in whichever situation, sets the tone. Anu then makes a small alaap with his synthesized voice. But tell me, how can he compose something with these words? No substance at all but just singing by the Rahul Vaidya, sounding too too much like Sonu Nigam. The second interlude has a latin flavour to it which captured my attention for a few seconds but alas! Arrangements are typical David Dhawan’s specifications for a mass-orientated song. Indian Idol finalist Prajakta Shukre does an okay job. Passable! Let’s sing together! So he goes ‘Hello Madam, I’m Your Adam’ and she goes ‘Hello Adam, I’m Your Madam’…
Supposedly a rehash of Haseena Maan Jayegi’s ‘What is your mobile number’ by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik.
Dil Nahin Toda Kar Te
Shaan, Sunidhi Chauhan
Oh now we have a song properly composed! Thank God that Shaan comes to bring some musical dimension to this album. However, the 90’s guitar of Anu strikes again like in ‘Judwaa’. A conversation-type song with some fluidity till the end and which is quite enjoyable. Though the tune is pretty easy and cool, it is saved by the professional singing. A small observation again: Sameer got a typical song to compose and he can’t start a song without the word ‘dil’ and listen to ‘Wanna touch, wanna feel, say what you want’…
Rehash: The same guitar sound was used for Bachke Rehna Re Baba’s ‘Dil Churane Wale’ by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik and if listened deeply, it’s the same tune with minor adjustments.
Jitne Channel TV Ke, Utne Nakhre Biwi Ke
Sonu Nigam, Krishna
It seems like a REMIX but a total chaotic musical remix, more precisely. Sonu Nigam gets horrible lines to sing and Krishna does worst! Then there is this chorus; please! Catastrophic track! If composed for a situation, then it can click! Hilarious in some places with connection like ‘remote’ and ’biwi’!
Rehash: None because it is trash itself.
Aiyashi Aiyashi
Composed by DJs Aqueel-Sanjeev and sung by Shaan. Written by Shabbir Ahmed
Anu Saab was angry when he knew that they roped in DJ Aqueel for this song! Beats wise, it can work in clubs and may land in a few remix albums because the DJ has experience. Melody wise, it fails flat! This confirms that DJs’ mind work in remixing and not composing. This one is meant to rock and the words ’Aiyashi Aiyashi’ might do the trick because the way they pronounced it, is catchy. Overall this one is short but peppy and fizzy!
The Dhawan-Bhagnani-Malik team delivered chartbusters and crazy music in the past but not here! They tried to rehash their old hits. Even the songs are funny and peppy; the beats are from ’Judwaa’, the tunes from ’No Entry’ and ‘Haseena Maan Jayegi’ and the singers from Indian Idol and from the mentioned albums mostly. Lyrics are funny but not hilariously used to set the mood. Title song is missing! Shaadi No.1: not a good musical start to this shaadi!
GIA’S RATING: 2.5/5
