With a series of flops going on for Yash Raj Productions both in terms of movies and music, they surely have great hopes from Ranbir Kapoor’s, Bachna Ae Haseeno. Promos look promising and Deepika is looking hot as ever. So, will this movie change the fate of Yash Raj Production in terms of music? Let’s find out.
1. Khuda Jaane
This is the first song of the movie and it is a song which takes some time to get over you, considering its slow pace and the female singer that doesn’t suit the song at all. Lyrics are less or more average only. But, if you watch its music video, then surely you’ll like it. But as I said earlier, the Shilpa Rao doesn’t suit the song. You’ll feel even weirder when you watch the video because her voice doesn’t suit Deepika at all.
But overall, it’s a nice song but a bit lengthy too.
2. Lucky Boy
It starts with a nice Punjabi verse, and then Sunidhi comes and ruins the song. It’s not her fault too because the song itself is below average i.e. lyrics and the music. I can bet that, this song will be picturized on Bipasha Basu. It’ll certainly not appeal to guys, but, it can be popular in girls. And, I don’t know why they included Hard Kaur in this. Just like Khuda Jaane, it takes some time to get on you.
3. Aahista Aahista
Nice use of guitar in the starting of the song and that guitar solo lasts for almost a minute! Lucky Ali and Shreya Ghoshal make a nice duet and Shreya is good as always. It’s been a while since I listened to Lucky and his voice sounds refreshing. As of music, it is above average. But 5:52 minute length of the song kills it on the first place. If they would have made it shorter, then it would have been a moderate hit.
4. Jogi Mahi
When you listen to it for the first time, you get a lot of expectations from this song because of Shekhar’s great voice, but by the time you reach the hook part, lyrics just drop to level 0 and it doesn’t go in sync with music. Song is good only in the verses but it is really bad at the hook or chorus. Both Sukhvinder Singh and Shekhar give a first-class performance on it. Himani Kapoor is also palatable.
If you just don’t give care about lyrics for this song, then it would be sound really nice to you. One of the best songs of the whole album.
5. Small Town Girl
I really can’t understand that why they put this song in the album? It’s one of the worst songs to come out this year and it doesn’t make any sense. Songs starts with great guitar riffs. But then, it turns into crap with even more crappy lyrics.
“Chhoti ungli pe nachayegi tumhe, she’s a small town girl”
What the hell man? What kind of lyrics are these? Somewhere it’ll also sound like, “Ticket to Hollywood”, as Shankar Mahadevan is on the song and music is somewhat also the same. I don’t know why he did this song. Worst track of the album.
6. Khuda Jaane Revisited
The one and only remix of the album and I’ll not talk about it.
7. Bachna Ae Haseeno
Aaaww! The classic song. I was really looking forward to it, but again, Vishal-Shekhar didn’t do full justice to it. Why do you need Sumit Kumar on the verse man? He sounds so substandard on this song. Rapping is great by Vishal. But the chorus by Kishore Kumar is still a classic and it is the best part of the song. Listen to it for Kishore Kumar only.
I don’t know what has happened to Vishal-Shekhar, who gave such a hit album, Om Shanti Om. Maybe, they should take a break for some time and reinvent themselves. As for the album, it is an average album without a blockbuster song. Music should have been extraordinary for this movie, since there is so much hype around it.
2.5/5 (Better luck next time unlucky boys)
