Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

Singer: K.K.

Matrimonial si aankhein, sabko ab taakein - jaakein…Dil se dilli ho, Dhadkan se ho london… and I am like wow! The lyrics set you in a peppy mood. Music complements the lyrics, but I must say the song is all about Irshad Kamil’s lyrics. Sohail Sen is an ace composer, and I hope he gets it better this time. I loop this song again for its lyrics.

Dhunki

Singer: Neha Bhasin

First of all, to all my avid readers, Dhunki normally means a piece of cotton, but here the lyricist uses it with reference to “cannon” (again, a brilliant word by Irshad Kamil). The song has got a good mix of guitars, drums and lyrics. The video ft. Katrina Kaif is already rocking a big time.This entire thing is nicely enveloped in a good tune. 

O malang hua dil ye mera…

Choomantar

Singer: Benny Dayal, Aditi Singh Sharma

The specialty about this song is the singer. Benny Dayal, I am a big fan of his singing and his range, he is completely versatile singer. Take it Pappu Can’t Dance Saala, or Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gayi; he has never disappointed me. Female vocals by Aditi is also noteworthy.

Isq Risk

Singer: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan

Now, this is something unexpected from Sohail Sen, A qawwali. In addition, he has brilliantly done it with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan; I do not have that dignity to criticize the maestro. Moreover, the song has proved it; Sohail Sen is a damn versatile composer. (I have stopped mentioning about lyrics, as I can’t just praise Irshad Kamil all alone).

Madhubala

Singer: Ali Zafar, Shweta Pandit

From here on, the album gets mono-tonic. The last two songs supply the Desi North Indian flavor to the album. I quit don’t like Dholki and Matki kind of sounds, unless produced for some experimental use. The song reminds me of Khaike Pan Banaras Wala.

Do Dhaari Talwaar

Singer: Shahid Mallaya, Shweta Pandit

The last one is again a Bhojpuri kind of track. I could anyhow, listen both the tracks due to Irshad’s lyrics.

The album proves three things. Firstly, this album is a typical Yashraj Films production, musical yet not path breaking. Secondly, if anyone could replace Gulzar, it is Irshad Kamil (I really mean it). And Finally, Sohail Sen is a multi dimensional composer unlike some music composers who keeps on playing same beats now and then, and do not use variety of instruments in the music. Due to brilliant music produced by Sohail Sen and awesome lyrics by Irshad Kamil, I rate this album a four.
