Ishq Hai Tumse Music Review
Fresh after the super-success of Tere Naam comes another musical by Himesh
Reshammiya - 'Ishq Hai Tumse'. Produced by G.A.Seshagiri Rao and directed by
G.Krishna (the same team, which was behind the social-comedy 'Aamdani Athanni
Kharcha Ruppaiya'), IHT is, as the title suggests, a love story that brings the
ex-real life pair of Dino Morea and Bipasha Basu together after the super-hit
Raaz and super-flop Gunaah. Sanjay Chhel and Sameer share the credit for the
lyrics.
The first thing that strikes to mind after hearing the opening song 'Dil Dil Dil'
is - 'Oh! This number is so-very-predictable'. And that too not just composition
wise, but also the location, cinematography, Bipasha's typical eye movements,
flowing hair and the works. Nothing original about the number, Udit Narayan and
Alka Yagnik just go with the motions in this number written by Sanjay Chhel.
'O Soniya' is a simple love number sung by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik. Again,
a predictable track with even more predictable lyrics (by Sameer), it follows
the long treaded path of mush and feel-good. Himesh Reshammiya tries his best to
infuse freshness in this track and does manage to some extent. Remix of the same
also stays away from being loud and just provides that extra zing to it.
Tempo of IHT rises gradually with 'Chaahat Ki Khushboo' which is even better
than the preceding number. Though neither the lyricist Sanjay Chhel nor the
composer Himesh try to do something different or adventurous, the number still
clicks in a way. Shaan and Alka Yagnik are good as well.
If you loved 'Nikamma' (Kya Dil Ne Kaha), 'Mohabbat Hai Mirchi' (Chura Liya Hai
Tumne), 'O Jaana' (Tere Naam) and 'Simple Si Coffee' (Zameen) and if you still
want to hear a similar composition again then you can as well play 'Humko
Chahiye' by Himesh's favorite item-number-boy Shaan. Sister Sagarika too joins
him this time and is party to the funky proceedings. Predictable - but then 'IT'
works!
'Lutf De Gayee' is a soft pop track and comes across as a fresh track. It makes
for a very good hearing and KK's vocals are just superb. Hema Sardesai supports
well. A noticeable point in the recent Himesh numbers, is that he makes his
singers sing 'differently'. Sameer's lyrics too deserve a special mention. A
nice song!
'Ishq Hai Zindagi' is Laxmikant-Pyarelal meet Nadeem Shravan, as is so apparent
in the overall composition. Sameer's lyrics provide that necessary
Nadeem-Shravan touch, as he has been associated with them for ages now, and Udit
Narayan, Alka Yagnik and Vinod Rathod too enjoy themselves. A track that can be
considered as a fusion qawalli, it again rises above the average mark and
manages to sustain one's interest. It also hints of a possible third angle in
this love story due to the inclusion of Vinod Rathod. Look out for this one!
IHT starts very predictably but later shifts gears and runs at the top speed. A
feel good pleasant musical score with all 7 tracks as the love duets, it
entertains throughout without experimenting too much. Yes, for the purists it
doesn't deliver anything outrightly original, but then how many composers are
doing that these days! At least, IHT sticks to a line and succeeds well in that.
An entertaining package for your dearest! |
