THIS IS ME

Sa Re Ga Ma Rs.145

Sunali Rathore has undergone a metamorphosis. Best known as the good-looking wife of singer Roop Kumar Rathore and who used to give him admirable company on stage, Sunali has tried out pop here in the company of Leslie Lewis. The effort is showing and perhaps, that's why it fails to move.

The album has a hint of jazz but the problem is all the songs sound similar. The beats have a soothing effect but again the verse by Mehboob takes too long to register. This has been the problem with this lyricist, who made a killing by writing the Hindi versions of South Indian film songs.

The opening number "Ooh Ooh La La" has some sensuality but it's largely because of the video by Kiran Deohans that's already on air. "Tanha Hai" and "Yeh Jiya Jale Mera" are all right but the monotony that sets in with first song cannot be brushed away.
