Call it youthful, rocking, romantic or folksy, the music of Bachna Ae Haseeno has it all. Who can forget R D Burman's rollicking number Bachna ae Haseeno for the 1977 chartbuster Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin sung by Kishore Kumar?
And now composer duo of Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani try to create that magic of the Bachna ae haseeno song by "trying to stay as true to Panchamda's style of composing while giving it a bit of modern twist".
Besides retaining some of Kishore's voice in the song, the composers roped in his son Sumit Kumar to get his own rendition going with Vishal chipping in for some rap lyrics.
According to the duo, "the song is a tribute to R D, Kishore da and Majrooh Sultanpuri. The exciting part for us is being able to use Sumit's voice and have him jam with Kishore da himself".
Another highpoint of the album is the opening track Khuda jaane by KK and Shilpa Rao. It's melodious, has a silky touch with good supporting lyrics and the music arrangement is great. The lyrics of the song, picturised on Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, are in a sort of conversational mode.
There is a remixed version of Khuda jaane by Abhijit Nalani for party freaks. Lucky boy, sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, Raja Hassan and Hard Kaur, is "full of attitude, style and confidence".
Hard Kaur lends some Punjabi folk bit into the song. Lucky Ali teams up with Shreya Ghoshal for the soulful Aahista aahista. At many stages of the love track, Lucky's voice shows some resemblance to A R Rehman.
This modern-day Heer Ranjha-esque love ballad, Jogi mahi is sung by Shekhar Ravjiani, Sukhvinder Singh and Himani Kapoor. The traditional Punjabi folk track has a heavy dose of dhol and will definitely make a good dance number at family gatherings.
Small town girl is the type of song in which the likes of Shankar Mahadevan excel and he does full justice to the number which is has a lot of Punjabi music influence.
In a nutshell, Bachna Ae Haseeno is truly refreshing and caters to the Gen Y's and Z's.
Vishal-Shekhar comes up with another pulsating score after the Om Shanti Om success. The title song act is definitely an innovative and point-scoring venture.
This YRF Music presentation is definitely a buy.
