Newcomer Shipra Goyal makes her presence count in her debut outing. The party feel of the latter gives way to a mushy Ishq Bulaava, which shows what he is capable of. What further impresses is that it is sung by Sanam Puri who we heard in an altogether different mode in Dhat Teri Ki (Gori Tere Pyaar Mein). It is surprising that this song has been held back because it is a beautiful piece of melody. The best of the love songs is Ishq Bulaava, which comes right at the end. A special mention must be made of the appropriate lyrics. The arrangement too is in line with the quiet and solemn mood that the makers had in mind. Wait to hear Shekhar's voice as he indulges in a duet with Chinmayi Sripaada. While the song should do well in a situational set up, how one wishes that Shekhar Ravjiani had brought in a solo version of his own as well. It’s a love song with the characteristic Vishal-Shekhar stamp. Shafqat Amanat Ali is the man chosen for the job and though the mukhda here is the kind that could have otherwise found a place as an antra, one doesn't mind that at all once the hook comes on. Expect this number to find its way into discotheques as well as family celebrations and enjoy a long shelf life.Īfter three back-to-back dance numbers, Vishal-Shekhar embark on a more sober note with Manchala. Shreya Ghoshal may seem like an unusual choice for a song belonging to this genre, but considering her versatility (seen since the Ooh La La number from The Dirty Picture),
Vishal Dadlani continues his flirtation behind the mike with Drama Queen, which starts off on a western note, only to turn into an out-and -out desi number. That might decide the popularity it would enjoy in weeks to come. With rock-n-roll elements coming into play, one waits to see how the song is picturised. One can't miss the saxophone that comes in at just the right moments, adding to the nostalgia. The lyrics too are in line with the kind of fun element that was prevalent in Shammi Kapoor's films. Benny Dayal does well in his supporting part as a singer.īenny gets a bigger role to play along with Vishal Dadlani in Shake It Like Shammi, a song that pays homage to - who else but Shammi Kapoor. There’s more fun during the antra portions, which adds some more peppiness. And with the kind of energy that Sunidhi Chauhan brings to it, it’s quite infectious. However, as it turns out, the song prides itself on being in the bhangra style. This seems to be yet another 'bhangra-shangra' number, that is, made for the wedding season. To be honest, the lyrics of the opening song Punjabi Wedding Song, take one aback. Then, we have Amitabh Bhattacharya and Kumaar as the lyricists. One expects much from the music of Hasee Toh Phasee.Ĭoming from the house of Dharma Productions and with Vishal-Shekhar roped in, as well as youngsters Siddharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra, this promised to be a foot-tapping soundtrack. One expected just a fun-filled score, but composers Vishal-Shekhar have gone beyond that to bring us some soulful melodies as well in Hasee Toh Phasee, writes Joginder Tuteja.
