Music of an Aishwarya Rai Bachchan film has to be special. Last time when one heard a soundtrack of a film of hers, it was ages ago in Guzaarish. Just like the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film, the music of even this Sanjay Gupta affair is offbeat, what with a horde of artists coming together and creating a sound that is miles away from a conventional Bollywood score.
This is evidenced right at the start when Jubin Nautiyal's soothing vocals are heard in Bandeyaa. A soft composition put together by Amjad-Nadeem who come up with a soulful track (with Sanjay Gupta also contributing with the lyrics) that is almost devotional in appeal, Bandeyaa is the kind of number that can be put in a repeat mode and heard on loop. No wonder, the song is repeated with another new entrant Asees Kaur getting to croon a 'reprise' version. While she does well, it is the male version that calls more for your attention.
It is a jingle like setting though for Kahaaniya that puts you off as one actually assumes a commercial on display.In fact newcomer Nilofer Wani sings this one too like an ad jingle and though the song does no harm audio wise, one expects better things on display in tracks to come.It has got an instant liking quality attached to it! A pleasant listen.
Arko gets into a 'ghazal' mode soon after while roping in singer Vipin Aneja for Jaane Tere Shehar. A song tailor-made for Irrfan where he demonstrates his subtle one sided love story with Aishwarya.What one also notices at this point is an evolved taste in music for Sanjay Gupta who has otherwise believed in giving 'dhinchaak' numbers film after film.
The hunt for a 'dhinchaak' number ends soon after though with Badshah delivering yet another party number in the form of Aaj Raat Ka Scene. If you have been feasting on DJ Waale Babu all this while, this is the one for you to add to the list as the song carries a similar spirit (no pun intended) to it.
