Delhi 6 Music Review

The soundtrack of Delhi 6 is a refreshing experience altogether. Once again the unconventional comes from the magician Rahman.
Leading the board is the now very famous "Massakali" (my caller tune these days) which is a completely unique number having good lyrics as well. Listening to "Rehna tu" is a mesmerising experience, nice one to be completely lost thinking about someone special. The theme song of the movie "Yeh Delhi hai mere yaar" is one of the few bollywood songs that has used the real potential of metal rock, signifies the spirit of our capital. Whats interesting is that there is a completely classical song, "Bhor Bhayi"; those who know atleast little about various raagas will definitely appreciate the beauty of the song. My favourite after massakali is the awesome "Genda Phool", where the traditional beats suddenly marry bass and R n B midway and add to it exciting lyrics of the song.... Woah!
Apart from these wonderful numbers, there are a couple of religious songs, "Arziyan" and an "Aarti". The quawalli Arziyan reminds one of Khwaja mere khwaja from Jodha Akbar, but still very different, its a song of hope. "Noor" a dialouge sung by Abhishek Bachchan doesnt make a big contribution but girls might still love it.
In all, the music of Delhi 6 is not just a hit with delhites, but it really strikes a chord with the whole nation. Worth hai!!

(Ssshhh.... Sonam Kapoor looks soooo amazing in the film yaar... Never liked her until i fell in love with her after seeing her in Massakali.)

Chak De!!!

After a slight lull at the box office for a few weeks, there was a huge respite with Chak de India proving to be a blockbuster. The movie fares well in most of the aspects be it direction, acting, screenplay, pace of the film, dialouges, etc. And not surprisingly, the SRK factor works again. All the 16 new comers have done proper justice for what they were called for (were they Hockey players who could act? or actors who could play hockey? ) But Shimit Amin has done a fairly good job to manage both the skills of the new girls.

Most promising of the lot was Komal Chautala the tom boy of the team, followed by Vidya the captain of the team. But it was really difficult to get my eyes off Preeti Sabharwal- a pleasure to watch her. However, the screenspace shared by 16 girls for 3 hrs makes it difficult for few to get noticed. still a good job by all. The film also does well in teaching us a few lessons (that is if we want to take them)

Another area where the film does well is the timely doses of good dialouges.. my favourites being "kyunki hamari hockey mein chhakke nahi hote", "pehli baar kisi gore ko tiranga lehrate dekh raha hoon", and of course the famous, "har team mein sirf 1 hi gunda hota hai aur wo main hoon..."

Even after being praised allover there were a few areas where the film miss the goals and the shootouts. Firstly, the story was very predictable and then the MUSIC. Very important scenes at the end were appearing dull because of the background score.

(And ya the trailer of Aaja Nach le stating " Madhuri is Back" is good enough to create the excitement in the minds of people)

Overall a good movie.. i would give it a 8.5 on 10. wont be surprised to see any of the girls in newer projects. CHAK DE!! ( May be Azhar or Jadeja might get inspired and take up the job of coaching Indian cricket team and hopefully win us a World cup.)

What could have made AAP KAA SUROOR a hit..

I dont khow how, but on one of the fridays i found myself going to watch the first day show of Aap Kaa Suroor- The Moviee- The Real Luv Story.. (i didnot find it a real story as well as luv story at all)
Neither i am a big fan of Himesh Reshamiya nor do i hate him. But since the promos of AKS were on air since second half of 2006, i was really keen and excited to watch this movie..
However, i came out of the theatre after the film only to realise that i had bored myself to such an extent that i was not talking to any of my friends. However,had the AKS team taken some simple steps, i could have been a really big hit..
Firstly, the hype created for the movie was to the extent which it did not deserve at all. Secondly, Himesh (HR) in the film is projected as the global indian rockstar, which is very difficult for any indian movie buff to digest it...( no. of fans ok, but certainly not a rockstar).
Apart from that people would have liked to see something about HR's struggling years, an insight to the glam world or music world, and so on.. the vievers hardly got to know anything abt HR which was promised before the release (how many of us know that HR was earlier a TV serial producer?). The comic timing was not proper. Also, whatever non-arrogant attitude and other few things about him were shown were not very convincing enough.. and was he trying to present himself as a good boy by repeatedly saying "main sharab nahi pita" (i dont drink) and chanting Mantras while practising.

Nevertheless, i would not say that it was a bad attempt.. Because, he atleast had the guts to take a bold step like this. And also his angry mans attitude is not bad at all.. sometimes it suits him i.e. to say that he has the potential to act well.( HE IS ATLEAST BETTER THAN TUSSHAR KAPOOR) Mallika does justice to her role and Riaa aka Hansika needs a lot of improvement...
Also few tracks of the movie like Mohtarma, Ya Ali are good ones to listen to(atleast i feel so..) and not to forget the Mehbooba Mehbooba oooo oo oooo ooooooooo..

HR my adivse, DONT STOP, KEEP WALKING!
I hope if you do another project you will come up with some tjingh better and i am simply waiting for it.
