Bachna Ae Haseeno

Well I've been bit behind on updating my blog because 1) I've been busy and 2) When I think of something to write I get distracted by something and forget to write :P.

If you remember, in my earlier post of "Teri Ore song" I said that I will write the post on the song reviews if I like something I hear. So here it is.

Recently (not too recently, probably when then movie came out), I heard the songs of Bachna Ae Haseeno and the minute I heard each song, I didn't like them at all. I'm a big Vishal-Shekhar fan because their compositions are danceable, soft-soothing and just fun (and importantly not copied form someone else's composition)!! I heard the same songs again after few weeks and I loved them! I guess I didn't have the patience to listen to the full song the first time and just listened to first few seconds and switched to the next track if I didn't like the beginning. But I was wrong! Each and every song is beautifuly composed and sung by some talented singers. Let's go through the tracks:
Ahista Ahista: Beautiful song sung by melodious Shreya and cool brizzed lucky ali's voice. It's soft but also foot-tapping number. Lucky ali is back after long time but back with a bang! Must listen to the track.

Lucky boy: The first time I heard this song I said "What kind of song is this" right when Sunidhi sung "Lucky boy, you're my lucky boy" and the way she says "Luuuu....cky" in the song sounded odd to me. But when I heard it again, I loved the music, the beat and couldn't really find any faults in the song :P. This is a complete club number and Sunidhi masters in these kinds of songs and so did she in this one.

Jogi Mahi: Nice punjabi song by Shekhar, Sukhvindar and Himani kapoor. Danceable, nice beat and soothing touch by sukhvindar's vocals. Beautiful song! If you like to dance to punjabi songs, this would be a good one to listen to :).

Khuda Jaane: Romantic song sung by none other than KK who masters in these kind of songs specially if the song is emotional or sad. Remember his songs "Dard me bhi ye lab muskura jate hai" from The train and "Laboko labo se" from bhool bhulaiya. Well this one isn't emotional, but it's romantic. It's very soft track. I initially thought that this song was sung by Alisha chinai but it turns out it's sung by Shilpa rao. It sounded so much like Alisha, but overall she has done really nice job.

There are two more tracks to the movie that I haven't listened much. They are "Small town girl" and the title song and my least favorite song is the title song. I have listened to the original song and after listening to that one this new track just doesn't fit in my system. I'm not saying it's bad...it's alright but the original is the best :).

Overall, Vishal-shekhar has done a great job with keeping their compositions fresh and enjoyable.
