Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy impress with the opening cut – Dhoop Ke Sikke is a fantastic composition which has Anushka Mani singing with Shankar Mahadevan. Soft rock with a bit of jazz in places, Dhoop Ke Sikke has been written by Prasoon Joshi. The song grows on you with repeated listens – Dhoop Ke Sikke sounded nice last evening and it sounds even better this morning.
The ‘Serene Version’ of Gulon Mein has been sung by Mohit Chauhan, who is known for singing serene numbers. That’s not such a bad thing because Chauhan does the slow stuff really well. Justin-Uday’s Gulon Mein (Serene Version) is easy on the ears… nice.
Arzoo – what the hell is this annoying singing? If this really is a ‘traditional’ song like the CD says, I don’t know what to think anymore. The lyrics might be meaningful or whatever but I don’t wanted to be subjected to Mehrajuddin’s voice ever again. Not this way, not if it cracks after he’s crossed puberty – never again.
The ‘Upbeat Version’ of Gulon Mein is sung by KK and has music by Sandesh Shandilya. The lyrics here are the same as on the ‘Serene Version’ – a tribute to the great Pakistani poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz, and a good job by Neelesh Mishra. I’m quite pleased with both the versions of Gulon Mein… they’re very listenable.
Shilpa Rao takes on Manzaraat, written by Kumar. Justin-Uday’s effort here is just about okay – there was no need to add electric guitar distortion here.
