TASHAN – The music
April 8, 2008
Presenting the hip-hop fakers – Vishal & Shekar.
A dynamic duo they make indeed, with their songs covering all genres of music. Riding on a high from OSO, these guys are getting too “Bollywoodish” for one’s liking. However that doesn’t take away the fact they are amazingly talented.
The album has 5 songs, although it would look like it has 9 songs on the CD cover. 4 of them are intros of their own characters by Akshay, Saif, Kareena and Anil. Thankfully there are no crazy/funky remixes of the songs.
Dil Haara:– After Dard-e-disco it is not surprising that they are sticking to Sukhwinder Singh. But this song is far from it. The starting bit of the song is good. The guitar piece and the howling that you would hear in the trailer is pretty catchy. But the song on a whole is pretty ordinary
Chaliya:- Again a catching intro tune. But the song is too cliché. The song would fall in the “mind blowing mahiya” class! And ofcourse it is sung by Sunidhi Chauhan. With English lyrics “Don’t you look at me like that mahi”. Now why on earth is such a lyrics required. Well, it suits Kareena kapoor I guess!
Dil Dance Maare:- Lets just say it is easily one of the worst song by Vishal n Shekar.
Falak Tak:- Now that is one of the better songs of the album. It gives you a nice hindi film music feelings. The once you would get when u hear those 90’s songs, with Dhols and Tabalas. Udit Narayanan and Mahalaxmi Iyer have done the needful, Mahalaxmi sounding extremely nice.
Tashan Mein:- This would be the best song in the album. It has Vishal-Shekar stamp all over it. Sung by Vishal and a new pro called Sameer, the song is rocking. Especially in the lines “ Apni toh, baat kuch nirali hai. Apna jeena toh jeena.”
Point Table: 2/5
Reco: Don’t bother to buy. Don’t miss Tashan Mein.
