Racy tunes in Shahid's new film
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 11 - 09 - 2013

MUMBAI — The entire team of the runaway super hit, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Tips Music Films', director Rajkumar Santoshi, composer Pritam Chakraborthy and lyricist Irshad Kamil come together to recreate the magic once again. This time, its evergreen teenage heartthrob Shahid Kapoor, along with promising actress Ileana D'Cruz for the romantic comedy drama, Phata Poster Nikhla Hero. Expectations are bound to be huge from the album, especially because it is a Tips venture, and they have always delivered chartbusting and memorable music.
It's Mika Singh who sets the chartbusting pace of the album with the sweet, cute and lovely rhythmic prepositioning number, ‘Tu Mere Agal Bagal Hai'. Indeed a great number that would be loved by most, from eight to eighty.
Lyrics are just superb and the cute and humorous use of easy ‘Mumbaiya' lingo is the USP of the track. Tips' and Pritam's trusted and ever dependable Atif Aslam along with Chinmayee Sreepada deliver the love ditty, ‘Main Rang Sharbaton Ka' , and they are both just superb as they sing well in tandem.
Lyrics are very unique and effectively convey the romance between the leads. Arjith Singh (of Aashiqui 2 fame) renders the solo version of ‘Main Rang Sharbaton Ka' and he is good, although one prefers the Atif Aslam version. Benny Dayal, Shefali Alvaris and Shalmali Kholgode get together and groove to the funky, racy dance number, ‘Hey Mr. DJ', which should have been titled ‘Let's Go Bananas' as it is the addictive chorus of the track and the USP as well.
The track would be loved by the youths and kids as well and would look great on screen when a dancer of the caliber of Shahid gyrates to its infectious rhythm. A sad ‘judaai' (separation) number, that is trademark ‘chartbusting Pritam', ‘Mere Bina', is rendered by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Harshdeep.
Rahat is simply outstanding, especially in the higher octaves and Harshdeep gives good support, although her husky vocals fail to complement Rahat, and one feels that Shreya would have been a better choice. Lyrics too are apt and would certainly be identified by the young Gen who falls in and out of love quite frequently.
It is local Mumbaiya, or say Marathi flavor along with some North ‘masala' thrown in that spice up ‘Dhating Naach', the ‘dhinchak' item number featuring Nargis Fakhri . To sum up, the audio of Tips Music Film, Phata Poster Nikhla Hero, lives up to the huge expectations and almost all the songs are good. — Agencies
