In midst
of musical and film releases draught, low profile
entertainer ONE FINE MONDAY promises to draw some attention
from media and masses. Unlike extraordinarily composed low
budget albums like ANWAR, MANORAMA SIX FEET UNDER, this
album proves to be washout from the first word go for
its outdated and lifeless musical display. Last year it was
likes of new composers like Mithoon, Jayesh Gandhi and
Ronnie-Shirish in the marquee that made great impact with
their compositions. Siddarth Srivastav, the first major
young blood among budding composers shows inadequacy and
incompetence in his work and no track can be termed as
appreciable or bankable by any standards. |

Track 1, 2 - Dabi Aag Sunidhi Chauhan, the most
commercially bankable name in the credits goes full
throttle in Arabic-Persian style of seductress
enticing and inviting track Dabi Aag with slightly
better results. The frolicsome techno mood of
Arabic-Persian musical outburst that was prominently
evident in Dard-e-Disco (OM SHANTI OM) comes out
with dim shades of outdated arrangements. Sunidhi's
affable voice coupled with some catchy beats might
draw few eyeballs on silver screen but overall the
track proves major disappointment for the reputed
singer. |

There is some solace for urbane listeners in its
Club remix version where finely punched disco beat fillers
along with DJ scratches and moves collages effectively with
echoing vocals.
Track 3 -
Deewana Dil
Experienced
campaigner Abhijit along with folksy Richa Sharma makes
their unwanted entry into early 90 style of romantic duet
work in Deewana Dil. The bland arrangements along with
outdated composition somewhat similar to Pyar To Hona Hi
Tha (PYAR TO HONA HI THA) makes tasteless presence and
proves to be hopeless attribute from these two renowned
talents from musical fraternity. |

Track - 4 Sab Ganya, an amateurish imitation
of Kaalu Mama (SATYA) by composer cum singer
Siddarth Srivastav is typical tapori number
hailing the might and strength of dreaded gangster
in bawdy lingo. Like Ganpat (SHOOTOUT AT LOKHANDWALA) and Kaalu Mama, the track is full of
wishy-washy wordings rendered with slackening
orchestrations and unresponsive vocals. |

|
Track - 5, 6 - Ram Rang Le Gup Chup After
boisterously punched disco-thrills, the mood takes mushy
romantic maneuvers with Raghav Sachar making modest attempts
in proving his mettle as cordial vocalist in average
sounding Gup Chup. It has huge inspirational lift from
typical Chopra-Johar school of harmonic romanticism where
Mahalaxmi Iyers svelte vocals along with soft rock cum jazz
arrangements make impressive supple moves. Haughty and
puffed up vocals of Shilpa Rao sizzles out for its pulsating
Remix version with glistering beat juggling and DJ
claps taking on all hot n happening proceeding on floors. |

Track 7
- Shyam Diya
Shekhar Suman tries to replicate SRK's DON act
by impersonating Shaan's well sung Main Hoon Don
with his jaded voice and worn-out disco
arrangements in mediocre sounding Shyam Diya. The
track goes out like a biopic tale of rags to
riches underworld don with wearily penned wordings
supported with haphazard chorals and sloppy
orchestrations in the backdrop. |

|
No
doubt that Shekhar had done a brilliant job as
stand-up comedian in the past but now his new
avatar of turning into songster is surely proving to
be damp squib in all aspects. |
|

|
ONE FINE
MONDAY comes out as washout both in terms of quality and
substance. New composer Siddarth Srivastav was expected to
be in league of new talents like Mithoon or Jayesh Gandhi
but he disappoints completely with his spineless and
irresolute music display. The poor display, low face value
coupled with zilch promotion will surely be writing obituary
for this non-happening album. |
