Meenal Jain and Antara chip in as well behind the mike for 'Cutie Pie' which is an instant hit in the making. Moreover, Pardeep Singh Sran and Nakash Aziz sing it so well that you can't help but join them in a jig for the dance floors.
Yet again, Amitabh Bhattacharya's lyrics are the ones that catch your attention instantly as they have the kind of language that would appeal instantly to the current generation. Titled 'Cutie Pie', this one has a Punjabi 'shaadi byaah' beginning to it with characteristic Pritam effect coming into play. Amitabh Bhattacharya's are a delight to listen to as they cater to the youth and Badshah's rap along with Nakash Aziz's vocals are a good fit too.Īs rightly proclaimed by the makers, the song that comes next is truly 'filmy' in its appeal. Ditto for Arijit Singh who sounds just like Ranbir Kapoor and hence elevates the song further well. In fact she sings it in such a manner that you almost visualize Anushka Sharma recording it herself in the studio. From a 'Break Up Party' sequence in Love Aaj Kal to 'The Break Up Song', this one goes on a high right at the beginning as Jonita Gandhi goes about rendering it with a lot of spunk. The first to arrive is 'The Break Up Song'. A true-blue Hindi film song, it is situational in appeal and should make for a good inclusion in the narrative.Ī couple of peppy tracks find an entry next. A pathos filled song which has a sad feel to it but doesn't turn out to be sad in the manner it is composed, styled and sung, this one is again experimental in a setting which is that of a celebration. Shilpa Rao joins Amit mid-way and yet again leaves an impression with her different vocals.Īrijit Singh, who has sung four out of six songs in the album, is back with 'Channa Mereya'. One waits to see how the song appears on screen because of its high energy and infectious appeal. In fact Amit Mishra has sung this one with such passion that you just can't help but admire the young singer for his commitment in making this a song to be remembered. A sufi-rock track which has the kind of lyrics that totally go with the genre and style, this love song is an instant hit and is already a hot favorite amongst the youth. One song which has actually turned out to be the hot chartbuster of the season is 'Bulleya'. Arijit Singh has rendered the track with his heart in and the result is there for all to see as the song finds itself way up in the popularity charts. Well, the experiment succeeded as the song, which is slow in pace with a lot of 'dard' in there, has ended up becoming an anthem of sorts in last few weeks. The title song, 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil', is not a quintessential Bollywood song that is usually the first to arrive for a biggie but then Karan Johar indeed had a different plan in mind. The moment First Look of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil was unveiled there was a surprise in store as the campaign got an uncharacteristic beginning for itself. Nonetheless, the wait has been worth it as composer Pritam and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya have excelled in their respective departments to ensure that once again, Karan Johar has a musical blockbuster in hands. In fact it is rare to witness such a scenario for one of the biggest films of the year, and especially when the first set of songs has already created such a sensation. While each of the songs from the film, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil has been unleashed one after another over the last few weeks, the complete soundtrack has arrived pretty late in the day. Now this is one soundtrack that was keenly awaited for quite some time now.
Lastly, using Arijit Singh to sing for Ranbir Kapoor is really not a good idea because neither of them sound like either of them.Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Review & Review Rating They have elements of Sufi Rock vibe to it. You did do a Ctrl-C Ctrl-V.Īt the end of the day, all the songs sound the same. We don’t like the fact that the opening riff of Bulleya has been copied from Papa Roach’s Last Resort (Listen to it here). It would have been a great idea if at least one song was about friendship or happier times, maybe? Here are some reasons why we don’t like the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil soundtrack.Įvery song is excessively depressing and keeps going on and on about unrequited love. (Also, read why the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil trailer is a disappointment)īut we’re pretty unhappy with the music of the Ranbir Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai starrer, that seems to be churning out songs filled with grief, despair and heartbreak with little to no variety.
We definitely think Bollywood is finally evolving with the much-anticipated Karan Johar film, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, with an older woman-younger man combination which is quite a digression from what we are usually served (r ead here).
