Shaadi No.1 Music Review

It's the season of infidelity. After a thunderous response to No Entry,
fasten your seat belts to witness one more hilarious take on infidelity that has
triple the 'masti' than a 'Masti' or a 'No Entry'. That's because while Lara
Dutta and Bipasha Basu played femme fatale in three men's lives in the
aforementioned movies, in Shaadi No. 1 there are three ladies doing the honors –
Ria Sen, Aarti Chabbaria and Sophie.
Men who fall to their charms? Fardeen Khan, Zayed Khan and Sharmaan Joshi! Women
who want to save their marriage and call it 'Shaadi No. 1'? Ayesha Takia, Esha
Deol and Soha Ali Khan.
Man who helps the ladies in doing so? Sanjay Dutt in yet another comic role!
Producer and director at the helm? Vashu Bhagnani and David Dhawan, who return
after a hiatus to recreate No. 1 magic.
With Anu Malik and Sameer pairing up for the music, one expects a rollicking
tuneful ride.
First song 'Chand Ko Tod Doonga' begins and sets an expectation right away.
Don't expect anything melodious or award winning tracks from the album. Instead
get set for a fun ride that would make you tap your feet and enjoy the song.
Theme of the track, which is sung vibrantly by Abhijeet and Anuradha Sriram is
simple - "I am gonna leave everything if you say yes, even the lady I am
presently going around with". Now a deal couldn't get any more straight forward
and honest than this. And just imagine that till last week we thought 'live-in'
relationships were cool! A purely mass oriented song, don't get anywhere near
the song if you haven't liked the soundtrack of Coolie No.1, Judwaa or No
Entry!!
'Jitne Channel TV Ke, Utne Nakhre Biwi Ke' – now do you need any more details
about the genre and the content of this album? With 'bhangra' beats and
rap-n-reggae accompanying lyrics like 'TV chale remote se, biwi chale remote
se', you very well know how serious is the situation, for which the tune has
been composed. Sung by Sonu Nigam and Krishna, it is a kind of track that
guarantees some lively & funny picturisation that should do well on the screen;
though don't expect yourself humming this track on the streets.
Indian Idol finalist Rahul Vaidya makes his debut with 'God Promise Dil Dola',
yet another 'Beat 1-Beat 2' number around the theme of 'I fell in love with you
at the first sight'. One doesn't really need to talk much about the talent of
Rahul as it is world known since the Indian Idol days. He makes a confident
debut and adapts himself well to the 'latka-jhatka' stuff that Anu Malik makes
him do for his first ever song, which is quite reminiscent to 'Dil To Dil Hai'
from recently released 'No Entry'. Shreya Ghoshal gives Rahul company in this
duet and plays her part well

Cheers, because Rahul Vaidya gets to sing yet another track this time along
with yet another Indian Idol finalist Prajakta Shukre who bags her debut
playback song as well. Both singers make a fresh pairing for 'Hello Madam', a
rollicking party dance number. Rahul Vaidya is particularly impressive as he
sings like a pro with at least a few dozens songs behind him. And yes, his
'inspired' singing as per Sonu Nigam style is quite apparent, but he does such a
good job in doing it that it doesn't sound annoying at all.
'Dil Nahin Toda Kar Te' has a simple tune which is almost like a nursery rhyme.
Sung by Shaan and Sunidhi Chauhan, it is average though with a lively effect. A
'roothna-manana' track, it doesn't make for a potential chartbuster but
nevertheless settles down as a passable tune. In fact none of the tracks so far
have HIT written over it but still enable 'Shaadi No.1' to be a decent time pass
album.
Signature tune at the beginning of 'Aiyaashi' is what gives the song an
interesting beginning. The only song written by Shabbir Ahmed and composed by DJ
Aqueel and Sanjeev, it also has the two composers giving company to Shaan in
singing for the track. A fast paced track with liberal dose of musical
instruments thrown in, it too settles down as an average to above average tune
without promising any earth shattering reception to the album.
Overall 'Shaadi No.1' has some fine time pass situational songs that may just
about look fine in the movie if treated well. But in terms of a listener going
all out for listening to the album as and when getting an opportunity doesn't
sound too feasible as there is no single track that has a power to setting the
charts on fire. An average soundtrack from Malik-Bhagnani-Dhawan when one
expected much-much better!
