Most earnest review of KMG soundtrack, I saw:

KOI MIL GAYA

By Suhel Johar

The unexpected mega success of 'Kaho Na Pyaar Hai' put its debutant actor Hrithik Roshan on to a pedestal giving him overnight stardom. But his subsequent films made a zero out of him. So papa Rakesh Roshan decided to make something different from the standard fare for son Hrithik. That's how he thought of venturing into the science fiction genre. And just to make sure some 3-foot alien doesn't overshadow that beta, he has Hrithik playing a mentally challenged boy for the first time. It's great that papa is so concerned about his son. But in his quest to make the perfect film, papa left out music, which made 'KNPH' a success! Rajesh Roshan gets away with murder in an album that has only one tune with repeat value. After belting out some superb songs in 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai', one expected a lot from music director Rajesh Roshan in 'Koi Mil Gaya'. Sadly, this turns out to be quite a mixed affair.

The soundtrack opens with the title track, 'Koi Mil Gaya'. Composed by Rajesh Roshan on the lyrics by Ibrahim Ashk the track has Udit Narayan and Chitra as vocalists. The two have a good time with this romantic ditty, and for a change Chitra is given something that is a bit more comfortable than 'Armaan' and 'Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon'. This track is unarguably the best track on the album thanks to its hummable composition with lyrics to match and some decent singing.


The second track on the album is another duet that features Udit Narayan. Titled, 'Idhar Chala Mein Udhar Chala', it has Alka Yagnik instead of Chitra, to keep company with Udit. The track has a sensuous overtone; Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan coordinate rather well to make the track sound catchy. Ibrahim Ashq also writes this track and he does a decent job again.

'Jaadu Jaadu', the next track, is a situational track. It's another Alka-Udit duet. The chorus has been well used for the track while the lyrics by Ibrahim Ashq are effective again. But there's no doubt that being a situational track it will have more appeal on the big screen than on your sound system.

The following track, 'It's Magic', is anything but magic. Pop singer Taz (of Stereo Nation) is a guest star on the album singing probably one of the blandest tracks one has heard of him. Maybe the track will work in the film but it's a big "no no" when one listens to it. Track number five on the album is Ahmed Faraaz penned 'In Panchiyon'. It has a catchy intro but gets too long winding. Rendered by Shaan, Kavita Krishnamurthy and Baby Sneha, they do well as singers.

The next track is the second version of an earlier track, 'Jaadu Jaadu'. Even Adnan?s throaty vocals are unable to boost this number or make it stand out. Still like the earlier version it may prove to be more effective on the big screen.

The penultimate track is the last vocal track on the album. Titled, 'Haila Haila', it is written by Dev Kohli with vocals by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan. It is cacophonous and easily the worst track on the album. The concluding track on the album is the instrumental theme track. The track lacks depth.

On the whole, the soundtrack of 'Koi Mil Gaya' suffers on account of inconsistency, and also because some of the tracks are purely situational and will have more value in the film. Go for 'Koi Mil Gaya' though, if you are a fan of the Roshans.

It was nice to hear TAZ(STEREO NATION) first time? in film soundtrack!

On the flip side!! It is NOTHING FRESH or NEW NEVER HEARD before kinda affair! here!

IMHO, Rajesh Roshan, is a GARDEN VARIETY composer, of LOW VERSATALITY and LIMITED RANGE!!NO EXPERIMENTATION, and LATELY, he has started using ENGLISH MUSIC tunes as INSPIRATION, very successfuly too..

HE ends up, using, SAME ORCHESTRATION/INSTRUMENTS and MUSIC PIECES, giving kind of FAMILIARITY to HIS SOUND TRACKS!His ORCHESTRATION, potential, is VERY LIMITED!

I was not EXPECTING, any thing, DIFFERENT from him..either..

Still, out of his RECENT work, for his BRO! DISREGARDING to THE FATE of FILMS, FLOP/VS BLOCK BUSTER!

I LIKED KOYLA the BEST SOUND TRACK, I still enjoy it!!

Actually Stereo Nation was on the album for "Tum Bin"...they did the song "Daroo Vich Pyar" which was also quite ace!

Generally I agree with you in regards to Rajesh Roshan's range of music. My own personal opinion, the soundtrack for KNPH should not have won all it did in 2000, but thats over and done with. He does do quite a bit more though when his brother and his nephew are involved and KNPH was a testament to that.

Compare KNPH and KMG with albums like NTJNH, and you'll see the difference there. I agree with you about Koyla, brilliant soundtrack though.

Plus seeing that its a science fiction flick, the music HAD to be different!

A DECENT review of KMG audio:

KOI MIL GAYA

Producer: Filmkraft Productions (India) Ltd.
Director: Rakesh Roshan
Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta and Rekha
Singers: Udit Narayan, Chitra, Alka Yagnik, Shaan, Kavita, Taz, Adnan Sami, Preeti Uttam, and Baby Sneha
Music: Rajesh Roshan
Lyrics: Ibrahim Ashq, Nasir Faraaz and Dev Kohli
Audio on: Sare Gama HMV


Following their previous success stories such as Karan Arjun and Kaho Na Pyar Hai, Filmkraft Productions emerges again on the screen along with its latest venture titled Koi Mil Gaya. The big budget movie is being directed by Rakesh Roshan and features the likes of Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta and Rekha in the lead roles. Various songs from the movie have already been airing on the small screen and the catchy tracks and visuals have built up curiosity amongst the audience. Rajesh Roshan has composed the soundtrack, alongside lyricists Ibrahim Ashq, Nasir Faraaz and Dev Kohli.

1- En Panchiyon (Shaan, Kavita and Baby Sneha)
The soundtrack begins well with En Panchiyon, which is rendered by Shaan, Kavita Krishnamurthy and Baby Sneha. The track starts with a melodious tune and a nice chorus, followed by the soft and impressive vocals of Shaan. Kavita also delivers her voice smoothly whilst baby Sneha impresses with her supporting vocals. The Background chorus, which continues throughout the song, is soothing to the ears. The Violin, jhankaar and drumming stick out. Nasir Faraz pens effective lyrics. The composition by Rajesh Roshan is soft and easy on ears. Overall, this is a pleasant track for the listener.
Rating: 6/10

2- Haila Haila (Udit and Alka)
The second song is Haila Haila, which is a duet featuring Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik. Unfortunately Udit does not seem too comfortable and only delivers average vocals. Alka also follows the colleague's standards and showcases her voice ordinarily. Amongst the instruments - piano, dholki and dhol stick out nicely and are complimented by a somewhat pleasant background chorus. Renowned lyricist Dev Kohli writes completely routine lyrics for the song and Rajesh Roshan doesn't show any flare this time around. This is below average stuff.
Rating: 3/10

3- Idhar Chala (Udit and Alka)
Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik team up again for the catchy number Idhar Chala Main Udhar Chala. This song is the best one from this album. Soft rhythmical and pleasant music pushes up the song in a perfect manner. Udit catches the rhythm remarkably well and is perfectly matched by Alka Yagnik. The background chorus provides an ample support to the vocalists too. Ibrahim Ashq, whose poetry has been sung by the ghazal maestros Jagjit Singh and Pankaj Udhas in the past, pens creative lyrics that completely personify the melodious mood of the song. Rajesh Roshan uses his brilliancy and experience widely in the composition. His composed music is active all the way and provides joys to the ears. The song is currently being played on all usual music channels and the visuals of the number feature Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta in the lead. The choreography and direction are first-rate. Overall the song easily grows on ears and is a soothing treat as well.
Rating: 9/10

4- Instrumental
The next track is an instrumental composition. This is an example of well-composed music wrapped with perfection in all departments by Rajesh Roshan.
Rating: 7/10

5- It's Magic (Taz)
It's Magic features Taz (Stereo Nation) as the lead vocalist. The song starts with a bang, although the energetic music is let down by Taz's rather average vocals. The singer disappoints completely with a poor style of vocals, which he must improve in order to survive in a big industry. Ibrahim Ashq does not lift the spirits with his lyrics, which are below average. The background chorus does not appeal at all and the composition by Rajesh Roshan does not shake the blood either. Overall it is a below average song from all aspects. And it could be rated as the weakest song of the album.
Rating: 2/10

6- Jadoo Jadoo (Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik)
Udit Narayan joins Alka Yagnik for a melodious number, Jadoo Jadoo. His voice is very catchy and sweet, whilst Alka registers a marvelous impact through her vocals too. The background chorus seems tender to hear. Amongst the instruments, dholki, shehnai, sticking, flute and drumming stick out. Ibrahim Ashq paints magnificent and creative lyrics. Rajesh Roshan portrays his rich experience and skills by composing a sweet audible music here. Overall the song lasts long on ears and is effective all the way.
Rating: 8/10

7- Jadoo Jadoo (Adnan Sami and Alka Yagnik)
The second version of Jadoo Jadoo features the likes of Adnan Sami and Alka Yagnik as the main singers of the track. The soft and catchy music in the beginning impresses. The excellent composer-singer Adnan Sami (who is the first to compose Indian classic music on the piano in the world) catches the breath of the listeners with his echoing manly voice, which spread real jadoo (magic) all around. The colleague singer Alka Yagnik provides full support through her sweet impressive vocals. Ibrahim Ashq wins the hearts with his creative and philosophical lyrics. Background chorus is simply well sung. Music is stupendous. It's an overall Rajesh Roshan's song, which completely represents his class. The song reminds us the yesteryear's Kishore Kumar song "Udte Udte Pyaase Panchi" composed and penned by Rajesh Roshan. A number of people do not know the poetic quality of the composer yet. Rajesh writes occasionally but whenever he uses his pen, simply creates wonders. As is the case with "Udte Udte".
Rating: 8/10

8- Koi Mil Gaya (Udit Narayan and Chitra)
The title track, Koi Mil Gaya wraps up the album. The duo of Udit Narayan and Chitra sing their respective parts with utmost ease. The song begins with a chorus, which is just okay followed by a soft piece of music, which truly excels. Udit presents his class brilliantly whereas Chitra (who is today's hot singer after showcasing her renditions for Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon) portrays her sharp and catchy vocals, which enter straight in the heart. The number is romantic and melodious and instantly catches the attention of the listeners. Ibrahim Ashq's lyrics are simply well written. Whilst Rajesh Roshan scores brilliant music. The visuals of the song stars Hrithik and Preity in the lead. The direction and the locales (full of natural scenes) are impressive whereas the choreography proves its supremacy too. Overall the track stays with the listeners for a longer period of time.
Rating: 7/10

Some of Koi Mil Gaya's tracks could bag awards in coming future. The soundtrack is a rhythmical treat and deserves repeated hearings.

Overall Rating: 7.0
