First
it was Heyy Babyy and now its Housefull
- Director Sajid Khan returns with greater
promises of a masala and commercial entertainer.
One can say that this movie means fun
guaranteed. Reasons One: the Sajids -
both the director and producer - have
made it clear that their movies mean entertainment.
Two: Star cast includes Akshay Kumar and
Ritesh Deshmukh. Three: Music composed
by one of Bollywood’s favorite music
director trio of Shankar- Ehsaan and Loy.
Four: Lyrics has been penned by Sameer
and Amitabh Bhattacharya.
Oh Girl, You’re Mine ...

Alyssa
Mendonsa (Loy’s daughter). Loy and Rithu Pathak
join the jing bang as supporting singers. A simple
yet catchy tune. It is obvious with the trio’s
music
that you can expect a dance number and this is it.
Tarun’s voice has high levels of energy and
Alyssa’s also blends well in this song. Loy
crooning Oh Girl, You’re Mine is catchy.
Papa Jag Jayega...
Vocals: Ritu Pathak, Neeraj Sridhar,
Alyssa Mendonsa, Amitabh Bhattacharya
Yet another groovy number. Sounds more like a remix
and not original. The song is surely different and
interesting. A fun song that raises your spirits.
Neeraj Sridhar of Bombay Viking’s fame begins
the song in his trademark way and later Alyssa joins
him to add pep. There is a heavy use of instruments
especially percussions. Lyrics are very colloquial
and funny. Will surely be a hit with the college goers.
Aapka Kya Hoga (Dhanno)...
Vocals: Mika, Sunidhi Chauhan
Every true Bollywood or Amitabh Bachchan fan will
surely recognize the song. A remix of the classic
“Apni To Jaise Taise” (originally composed
by Kalyanji Anandji and sung by Kishore Kumar). The
interesting fact here is that instead of the traditional
and routine remix, the trio has given a new feel interspersing
the song with a fresh beginning and different lyrics.
However, the similarity is shown in the ‘Aapka
Kya Hoga’ portions. The old one is also more
on the sensual lines with a lot of moaning. It is
good to note that the moaning is hardly heard in the
new version. Mika and Sunidhi have sung with high
energy levels. A sure hit at the chartbuster.
I
Don’t Know What to Do...
Vocals: Sunidhi
Chauhan, Shabbir Kumar
The 80’s mood continues with this song as well.
Sunidhi begins the song with her usual grace and energy.
The 80’s feel is reinforced when Shabbir comes
in with his - I don’t know what to do…
tauba… The use of Tabla, Shenai and Dolak is
perfect for this song. Kind of reminiscence.
Loser...
Vocals: Vivienne
Pocha, Amitabh Bhattacharya
This song describes the character of the protagonist
in the movie – Akshay. There is a fusion of
western influence and Bombay flavor that is brought
in by Amitabh’s lyrics. Yet another chartbuster
topper.
Verdict:
Verdict: One thing about this album is that the songs
are not intended to make a difference in the music
world. The movie is an entertainer and the songs need
to do the same. For this reason alone one could vote
the songs to be good. If looked on just from the music
perspective, the albums wouldn’t take off. But
for an entertainer, the tracks are good. One thing
that is difficult to understand is why the necessity
to have more of English lyrics. After a while it gets
boring and repetitive. |
