Chords & Notes

BHOOTHNATH

T-Series. Rs. 145 (CD)

The B. R. Chopra banner decided to ditch their favourite Aadesh Srivastav for the current flavour Vishal-Shekhar. The otherwise dependable duo falls short of expectation. Even the hip-hop over-tunes, the voice of Amitabh Bachchan and Juhi Chawla (Yes, she sings as well!) don’t help much.

The seven-song album kicks off with a peppy , “Mera Buddy” (sung by Amitabh and Arman Mallik). It is clearly the best number. “Hum To Hain Aandhi”, another energetic song, is a child’s delight. The chirpy voice of Koushtuv Ghosh, Aparna Bhagwat, Sharavan Suresh and Sneha Suresh make it enjoyable.

Sukhwinder Singh packs a punch with “Banku Bhaiya” and brings out the fun element.

“Samay Ka Pahiya” and “Chalo Jaane Do” are slow numbers with lyrics by Javed Akhtar. While the first is sung by Hariharan, the second is by Amitabh and Juhi. For reasons unknown, the producers got Salim-Sulaiman to score the “Bhoothnath Theme”. The instrumental piece is not evocative enough for a ghostly film. The ‘spirit’ is clearly missing. Buy the album if you have kids at home.
