A film about dance must have good music. Period.
Music:
The lead track, 'Ishq Da Bukhar' (Krishna Beura, Amrit Maghera, who is the leading lady of the film) is as trite as can be, but the soulful tenor and the fact that it could have sounded novel 15 years ago makes it the only remotely passable track on the score. One interesting line is found even in the lyrics – 'Teri gall sunte hi lagge gungi duniya' though the rest of the words and music (both by Vidyadhar Bhave) have nothing really appealing about them.
'Party Is Going Mad' (written, composed and sung by Siddharth Haldipur and Sangeet Haldipur) sounds like an off-colour Honey Singh, and co-singers Divya Kumar and Vidyadhar Bhave) pitch in their bits. But the saving-grace of this track is that the sound is well-managed for this level and genre of unoriginality.
The high-pitched 'Kahaan Hai Khuda' (Subhash Pradhan) is composed by Saahil Prem, the hero of the film, and written by Manoj Yadav. The lyrics are so predictable that anyone can write such sentences ending with khafaa hai / khataa hai / juda hai and so on.
The singer tries his best to be an apt mix of Arijit Singh, Atif Aslam and Ankit Tiwari and is made to put it all the vocal nuances (read gimmicks) we hear ad infinitum in such tracks. The relentless strumming of the guitar also gets at you despite its inoffensiveness; such is the done-to-death quality of this song.
This angst-ridden litany actually gets two more versions – a gimmicky Dubstep by Vidyadhar Bhave and a Remix version, also by the same singer. While the former adds some gimmicky orchestration and amps up the octaves with some more angst in the words and the music (including a rock-guitar), the remix concerns itself with some fast beats and a part bass, part screechy rendition.
The remaining song, completely cacophonous, is another cliched, utterly predictable number called 'Punjabi Mundeya' sung by Ravindra Upadhyay and Li'l Shorty (the initial rap). And Upadhyay clones Sukhwinder Singh as if there is no tomorrow. The music by Dr. Zeus and the lyrics by Vijay Singh Shekhawat are pure mediocrity.
Overall:
Why are such 'items' considered as recordable music that can be actually heard in films and consumed by the people? No matter what the situations needed by way of songs, this is cliched stuff that cannot be really considered even remotely danceable.
Our Pick:
'Ishq Da Bukhar'
