Now forget abt MDK and other stuff, this is an album to enjoy ! Cant believe it Shankar Ehsan Loy gets better with each successive album. First it was their 2 songs in Mission Kashmir (Bumbroo, Rind Posh Maal), then their blockbuster tracks in Dil Chahata Hai ( all of them )... and now Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai.
Apparently this movie is inspired from American Pie ( minus JIM's dance in front of the webcam and so many other Gigs! ).
The title track is catchy and u soon start humming it after sometime. Get the CD ( if u dont have contacts) or the Hi Quality Mp3s (if you have contacts).. This is another good album for this year after :-
1.) Devdas
2.) Sur
3.) Humraaz

I agree!! Nath! Good arrangements on the line of dch! but not as good as DCH! reasons.

Lack of variety of singers1 like udit/Sonu/kavita/Alka..as they were highlight of dat album(DCH) along with Shankar/Shan/K.K.

Here in YKHRH..it is Shan/Shankar only!! ? limited resources!
they are GOOD!! but! lack overall charm and charisma of added variety!

Overall..Very Good album, that will be most likely overlooked because of lack of star power!in the film!

I'll HUMBLy Sum it up! as "POOR MAN's DCH"

****Bottom Line! RECOMMENDED! mas:

Nope its not a poor man's DCH.. it is remarkably different from DCH...
Goodness..Shankar-Ehsan-Loy have indeed turned out to be dark horses... Original tunes and refreshingly different from the current breed of music directors out there.. Listen to the whole album once

Hmmm! i did not listen?

Maan! ya na maan?? lol! Neth! bhole Nath!

Apart from their filmi commitments Ehsaan and Loy along with Farhad are also part of a remix band that has been doing versions of R D Burman and other composers over two albums.

Now, Instant Karma's third album Dance Masti... Again is out, and the trio is raring to go, says Subhash K Jha:

First a word on your new film album Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai. It suffers from heavy Dil Chahta Hai hangover.

Ehsaan (E): I know. We create the sound according to the brief the director provides. So we had to go by what Hansal Mehta wanted. Now when you hear what Shankar, Ehsaan and I are doing for Honey Irani's film Armaan, you will realise it is a completely different sound




We're also scoring for Farhan Akhtar's war film Lakshya and David Dhawan's film for Subhash Ghai Ek Aur Ek Gyarah. We are very happy with the tunes we have created.

[Nope its not a poor man's DCH.. it is remarkably different

i did listen! > once!!

MUSIC REVIEWS


YEH KYA HO RAHA HAI?

Director: Hansal Mehta
Producer: Pammi Baweja
Music: Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy
Lyrics: Javed Akhtar

After the success of their previous venture “Dil Chahta Hai” and the mild success of “Abhay” comes a new soundtrack by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, perhaps the most versatile composers in Bollywood at the moment. Based once again on the theme of youth, and young love comes “Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai?” How does this soundtrack stack up against the previous albums of the composers’?

Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai:
A catchy title song opens up the soundtrack. The track is sung by relatively new singers Kunal, Nayan, and Arnab, along with Shankar Mahadevan. Sounding a bit similar to the title track from Dil Chahta Hai (especially at one of the main tune interludes), the track is sung in a very joyous and fun-loving mood, full of the spirit of youth. The background makes the song a bit more innovative, and quite catchy, along with the immediately catchy track. The music intervals, for most part, a pretty well-done, and fit the overall mood of the song. The singers do well in their parts, though it is a bit difficult to differentiate the three newer singers. Shankar Mahadevan is, as always, just great.
Rating: 9/10

Yaar Apna Ghar Jao:
Sung by the fresh trio of Shankar Mahadevan, Shaan, and Kunal, this semi-disco track seems a bit inspired from American music from the 70s and 80s, especially through the use of the background guitar and beats. Nevertheless, the track is quite a lot of fun. The tune is quite catchy, and fast-paced. The instrumentation is well-done, as is the music. Shankar Mahadevan and Shaan sound great in their parts, as does Kunal, whose voice contains a similar component to that of Sukhwinder Singh’s.
Rating: 7.5/10

Yeh Sama:
After two fun-loving tracks sung by the guys comes a love duet, sung by Shaan and Sowmya (presumably the same Sowmya who sang in previous S-E-L venture Dus). The track is a pleasant and nice one, with an overall calming effect, combined with slightly loud drum beats in the background, a bit similar to “Kaisi Hai Yeh Rut” from DCH. Sowmya and Shaan sound nice in their respective parts. The lyrics by Javed Akhtar are quite nice as well. The instrumentation throughout is pleasant, especially the flute, played by Rakesh Chaurasia. The tune is moderately-paced.
Rating: 8/10

Aarzoo:
Another fast-paced track joins the album, once again, a bit similar to some 80s numbers from America. However, this time, the inspiration is a bit less noticeable, and the track is a bitmore enjoyable. Shankar Mahadevan sings once again, this time with Babul Supriyo in this moderately to fast-paced duet. The singers, as usual, sound great in their parts. The music is rendered with a bit more unconventional touch.
Rating: 7.5/10

Ooh Yeh!:
Starting out in a fashion similar to “Ooh La La” from Sapnay, this track is another nice love duet, similar to “Yeh Sama”, rendered by Mahalaxmi and KK. KK sounds a bit out of place at first in this slow love duet, as he has been typecast to louder songs, but he later sounds quite good. Mahalaxmi sounds good, but a bit off-key at parts. The tune is quite nice and flowing, and made even nicer with the addition of the background chorus of “Ooh Yeh!”. The lyrical interludes are well-done as well, as is the background music.
Rating: 8/10

Kuch Hum Bhi Pagal Hain:
What would a soundtrack like this be without a club song? Continuing where “Koi Kahe” from DCH left off, comes this club number. However, this time around, the track is all-female, sung by Shweta, Sunidhi Chauhan, and Gayatri. Starting off with a short introduction, with claps in the background, this track quickly progresses into a catchy club number. Though the tune is a bit slow for this type of number, it is still catchy nonetheless and works with the music. The music interludes are absolutely great, especially the main instrumental complement. The singers sound great together, with Sunidhi Chauhan stealing most of the limelight. One would imagine this number would be very well-picturized for the film.
Rating: 8.5/10

Ooh Yeh! (Instrumental):
Usually, instrumental versions of tracks end up being fillers that sound like elevator music. However, this instrumental is worth a listen, mainly due to the wonderful instrumentation. Mahalaxmi’s part is replaced by a pleasant flute, and KK’s by a great sitar, played by Ehsaan himself. The track has an overall pleasant effect, and is really worth listening to.
Rating: 8/10

Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai:
Though by appearance, one might expect this track to be a reprise, similar to the title track from Dil Chahta Hai, it’s just a repeat of the original title track with no noticeable differences.
Rating: N/A

Overall Music and Instrumentation:
Shankar, Ehsaan, and Loy do a great job arranging the music, and really work well to complement the mood of both the individual tracks, as well as the proposed theme of the film. Though at times one gets a touch of déjà vu from Dil Chahta Hai’s soundtrack, this is yet another unique soundtrack to stand out on its own.
Rating: 9/10

Overall Singing:
In this soundtrack, a lot of either new or unknown singers are introduced. Among them is Kunal, Nayan, Arnad, Sowmya, Shweta and Gayatri. They are all, for most part, a treat to listen to, and do a great job together. As far as the more seasoned veterans, Shankar Mahadevan does an excellent job, as would be expected. Shaan and KK do a good job in their respective love duets, and Sunidhi is great in her club number. Mahalaxmi comes off as good, though a bit disappointing.
Rating: 9/10

Overall:
Another feather in S-E-L’s cap. Though some may call this soundtrack too similar to Dil Chahta Hai, it really serves a different purpose, and the composers have done this very well. A great soundtrack, that deserves the same success that Dil Chahta Hai enjoyed.
Overall Rating (Not an average): 8.4/10
