Aamir Khan Productions trusted maestro A.R Rehman for their Oscar nominated
LAAGAN (2001) and roped golden results. The production house collaborated
once again after a hiatus of seven years with him for teenybopper's love
saga JAANE TU YA JAANA NA. This promising conglomerate also marks the
consequential directorial debut of potential scriptwriter turned director
Abbas Tyrewala and debutabte Imraan Khan (Aamir Khan's nephew) in the
marquee. Rehman makes substantial experimental moves by introducing fresh
voices for the newcomers but the album sounds too regular and ordinary as
per his high standards.
If "Jashn-e-Bahaara" (JODHA AKBAR) enlightened commercial prospects for
talented Javed Ali then "Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi" proves substantial
launching pad for fresh singing talent Rashid Ali. Rehman's melodic
offerings bring soft rock romantic serenity in air with stirring guitar
riffs, soft percussive elements that are mesmerized with gentle electronic
musical impacts. Abbas Tyrewala's adoringly imposing lyrics ("Roote hai hum
bhi agar teri aakhon mein aasun aate hain, Gana to aata nahi hai magar phir
bhi hum gaate hain"...) get into the "groove" of the tender sentiments.
Rashid makes promising vocal gestures in his modulating tones and should be
finding enough substance for the "new kid" (Imraan Khan) in the flick.
Rehman made striking presence with "yuppie" loving tracks like "Pathshala",
"Khal Bali" (RANG DE BASANTI) or "Fanaa", "Khuda Hafiz" (YUVA) but "Pappu
Can't Dance" disappoints completely. It works on satirical tones about
"geek" looking guy called "Pappu" who is briskly mocked by his college
mates. It's kick-starts off impressively with engrossing "dhin-chak"
electronic beats jingles but is followed by crassly delivered vocals crooned
haphazardly with slapdash lyrical works. Blaze, Mohd. Aslam, Tanvi, Anupama
Deshpande, Benny Dayal, Tanvi, Darshana and Satish Subramanium forms the
bunch of gibberish voices that extol the satirical proceedings in loud
irritating way. This avoidable cacophony gets extra energized in its "remix"
version but fails to create any impact.
New talent Runa Rizvi streams out to be second big discovery of the album as
she sings out melancholically the sentiments of estranged beloved in
different sounding "Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai". It has mild haunting
arrangements that form meager chemistry with peculiar sounding vocals.
Experienced Sukhwinder Singh gets into dramatically somber singing mood in
outstretching the distressed emotions with a gripping impact in its second
"male" version. This version has heartrending vocal impacts with
sentimentally imposing wordings by Abbas Tyrewala that gels well with
daunting musical works.
