JANNAT
Sony BMG, Rs.160
The combination of Bhatt, Pritam and Sayeed Quadri continues to compose wonders. Jannat is no different.
Though not of the level of Gangster and Woh Lamhe, the songs give rise to a longing feel, a rarity in Bollywood these days. We know Pritam’s songs are more of contraptions than compositions, but he still he has a way with beats that have some shelf life. The album opens with Zara Sa, where KK is at his usual best.
The phrase, Oh O Oh, reminds you of Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai from Gangster, but as long as it works nobody minds. Judai by Kamran Ahmed is lifted from Kamran’s original composition of the same name. Thankfully, this time the producer has credited the original composer. The song gives Reshma’s Lambi Judaai a new twist. It might hurt the purists but the youngsters won’t mind it. Haan Tu Hain by KK and Door Na Jaa by Rana Mazumdar are typical filmy numbers to suit situations. Rana impresses with his voice control. It is followed by the title track Jannat Jahan by Rupam Islam, who makes his debut in Bollywood with this song. An average number, the song might work as the background score of the film. Another highlight of the album is “Lambi Judai” sung by the versatile Richa Sharma.
