FIRST MUSIC REVIEW, very much REFLECTIVE of MY SENTIMENTS!
** My rating 8-8.5/10
Main Hoon Na By Abid ©2004 Bollyvista.com Credits Music: Anu Malik & Ranjeet Barot (Main Hoon Na Remix) Lyrics: Javed Akhtar Vocals: Abhijeet, Aftab Sabri, Alka Yagnik, Anu Malik, Hashim Sabri, K.K., Shreya Ghoshal, Sonu Nigam, Sunidhi Chauhan, Vasundhara Das Label: T-Series High expectations can at times lead to disappointment. However, there are exceptions to the rule like in the case of 'Main Hoon Na'.
The album has 8 tracks in all with two versions of the title song and a remixed version of the same.
The first song, the title song, is also the most heard. 'Main Hoon Na' is sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal. The lyrics and the music are of a high standard. The whistling sound enhances the song. (Picturised on Shah Rukh, Zayed and Amrita Rao).
'Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha' once again features Shreya Ghoshal and Abhijeet. Abhijeet sings the song, as R.D. Burman would have wanted. Not in the same league as the first song but a nice cute duet none the less. (Picturised on Shah Rukh and Sushmita).
'Chale Jaise Hawaien Sanan Sanan' by K.K. and Vasundhara Das is a lively, rhythmic and youthful number with a bit of 'Pichak Dhum' and a bit of 'What's Up' from the background singers. (Picturised on Amrita Rao and Zayed Khan).
The remixed version of 'Main Hoon Na' by Ranjeet Barot has some 'Rap' thrown in and is enhanced by the contrasting background melody.
'Ye Fizaien' by K.K. and the ever dependable Alka Yagnik is a 'feel good' song. K.K. goes into the high octaves and the chorus lends good support in English. (Picturised on Shah Rukh Khan, Sushmita, Zayed and Amrita Rao).
The sad version of 'Main Hoon Na' is the song of a defeated and dejected man and starts of as -
Khoya Hai Paake Jisne Pyar Main Hoon Na Bechain Main Hoon Beqarar Main Hoon Na, Koi To Ho Aisa Jisko Apna Kah Sakoon. Koi To Ho Aisa Jiske Dil Mein Rah Sakoon, Koi To Kehta Ek Baar Main Hoon Na
The song is well sung by Abhijeet though with a bit of faulty diction. Javed Akhtar's poetic lyrics are out of this world. (Picturised obviously on Shah Rukh Khan).
'Gori Gori Gori Gori' sung by K.K., Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan and Anu Malik in his inimitable style is the dance floor number with the guitar strumming the tune of the title track in the background, giving it a nice touch. (Picturised on Shah Rukh Khan and others).
The last number 'Tumse Milke Dil Ka Hai Jo Haal Kya Kahein' is a vintage 'Qawali' number, sung by Sonu Nigam, Aftab Sabri and Hashim Sabri and opens with classic tabla beats. The opening couplet sets the tone for an interesting discussion about the legendary 'ISHQ'.
"Ishq Jaise Hai Ek Aandhi Ishq Hai Ek Toofan, Ishq Ke Aage Bebas Hai Duniya Mein Har Insan"
The Qawwali is a class act and Anu gives it a modern touch by adding words like 'Check That' and 'Dum Tara' in the background. (Picturised on Shah Rukh Khan, Zayed and others).
The album is a winner all the way and for those who found 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' good but too westernized, it's rare treat. This album includes a wide spectrum of musical talent as well as musical scores; there is something for every kind of music lover.
A MUST BUY EVEN FOR NON SHAH RUKH KHAN FANS.
RATING: 8/10
