ALBUM REVIEW:
All hail King Khan. The star who is Shahrukh Khan is starring
in a new Bollywood film, and it may be one of the most enjoyable
this reviewer has watched yet. And with it comes with a rocking
soundtrack album that deserves a place on any Bollywood fan’s
music shelf.
The 61-minute
disc contains music by Vishal & Shekhar (Ta Ra Rum Pum,
another Bollywood vehicle that was screened locally recently).
The duo has created a wide variety of music genres for this
jolly Bollywood musical directed by acclaimed choreographer
Farah Khan.
Opening
the album is the romantic “Ajab Si”, where King
Khan first meets the female protagonist at a movie premiere.
The innocently sweet melody will sweep any die-hard romantic
off his or her feet. Following that is the dance track “Dard
E Disco”, where King Khan dances along with some sexy
female dancers while showing off his six packs. Next up is
the highlight of this album “Deewangi Deewangi”,
where you can spot your favorite Bollywood star in a nine-minute
segment featuring some 31 celebrities. You’ll find yourself
chanting to the song’s chorus “Put your hands
up and say Om Shanti Om!”.
While
the dreamy “Main Agar Kahoon” is a music box waltz
enchantment where the male and female protagonists gradually
fall in love, “Jag Soona Soona Lage” is a track
which features King Khan’s devastation and lovelorn.
While “Dhoom Taana” is a cheeky tribute to cinema
of the yesteryears, “Dastaan E Om Shanti Om” is
King Khan’s solemn rendition of a majestic tune that
echoes the moods of the musical The Phantom of the Opera.
The rest
of the album contains remixes and rearrangements of these
abovementioned tracks. You may have noticed that we have not
provided any translations for the seven main songs featured
on this soundtrack – other than the fact that we do
not understand the language; it is another clear sign that
music transcends all barriers.
How
else can you explain the phenomenon of this reviewer’s
fixation to religiously watch the “Deewangi Deewangi”
scene on youtube, and nodding his head to the catchy tune
every other night?
ALBUM RATING:
Recommended Track: (3) Deewangi Deewangi
