Rating:0 *T-Series, Rs 160* Sure, it's a smart'n'trendy album, and some songs may be enhanced within the film, but to hardcore film music buffs, intrinsic merit, substance and weight are more important. By that yardstick, this album has just two tracks that stand up on their own feet - Kabhi kabhi Aditi (Rashid Ali) and the infectious Pappu can't dance saala by a bevy of singers. Abbas Tyrewala writes fairly pithy verse, but gimmicks and clichéd phrases romp in too. Jaane tu meri kya hai in the Runa version could have profitably employed a seasoned singer instead, for a song first needs accomplished singing and a novel, fresh voice is just an add-on asset. Finally, Tu bole (Rahman) is fodder only for the short attention-span people who rank breaking convention above innate harmony. Youth-meets-substance? Not really. That happened last with Dil Chahta Hai !
*Ada…..A Way Of Life* Big Music, Rs 160 Rahman's second score this week boasts of the daisy-fresh Ishq ada (Rashid Ali), a song that could have taken another dimension if Ali's Urdu diction was more authentic and less GenNext. Sonu and Alka steal the show in Hawaa sun hawaa and Udit sings Hai dard with a lot of soul. But apart from these tracks, the album is a downer too. And a peculiar leitmotif in many tracks is the unwanted and unwarranted repetition of words. Some odd ada, that! http://www.screenindia.com/news/Jaane-Tu...Ya-Jaane-Na/321961/ -- regards, Vithur HELP EVER; HURT NEVER; LOVE ALL; SERVE ALL
