After a
long time here comes a film that brings the husband-wife duo
of Ajay Devgan and Kajol. The film also marks the debut of
Ajay Devgan as director and thus is extremely special. Will
Ajay be able to strike a chord with the audiences very much
the way Aamir Khan has done for his directorial debut Taare
Zameen Par? Well, for that we need to wait a little till the
month of April.
As for
now music director Vishal Bharadwaj brings forth the music
of U ME AUR HUM. Vishal Bharadwaj who is still basking in
the success of Omkara has been assigned the task of
rendering music to a love story, very much different from
his previous ventures. Vishal sets off on this journey
without his favourite lyricist Gulzar and this time around
Munna Dhiman comes in as lyricist. |

Track 1
- Jee Le
The album opens to Spanish beats and a romantically
crafted Jee Le
to the crooning of Adnan Sami with
subtle inputs from Shreya Ghosal. The cruise number
brings in the salsa element and the opening lines of
the track are mesmerizing. To add to it all Adnan
Sami at his best brings in love and life at it's
fullest via the track. Vishal emerges victorious
with a track that is set to top charts and be a
favorite adding to the intense promotion of the
track. The track even amplifies the theme of the
film which talks about finding love and the greatest
love stories emerging out of the distance between
people. |

Track 2
In comes
the title track of the film in 2 versions. Shreya Ghosal
brings in the first one with a subtle westernized feel and
extremely simplistic lines. The track isn't Vishal's finest
piece of work but sure does grow on you after 2-3 listening.
In fact, the track brings in the romance quotient with ease
and is soothing.
Vishal
Bharadwaj lends his voice to another version of the same
track and fails to impress. Somehow, Vishal's voice is not
able to bring in the serenity and by the time you reach this
track in the album Shreya Ghosal has already registered the
track in your minds. Also the guitars and other background
instruments are a little disturbing in Vishal's rendition of
the track. |

Track 3
- Saiyaan
brings in Sunidhi Chauhan as the solo vocalist in
the girly-girly track. The track offers nothing much
in terms of music and sounds more like a dreamy
track stressing on the husband-wife equation from a
woman's perspective. The track might be a visual
treat for all Kajol fans as it is her solo
performance. So audiences can expect entertainment
very much the Kajol style with the right Jhatkas and
matkas. |

Track
4 -
Phatte
opens
with comparisons drawn in the instrumental guitar piece to
Pritam's 'Halka Halka' from Chocolate. The bhangra track
fails to pump in all that energy that is required for a
number such as this. Adnan Sami and Sunidhi Chauhan croon to
this number which isn't thumping at all and is poor on
lyrics too. The track lacks melody to hook the listeners.
|
|
|
|
Track 5 -
Dil Dhakada Hai
once again brings together Adnan Sami and Shreya
Ghosal after Jee Le but this time the duo fail to
impress in a track that is purely situational. The
lyrics are witty and offer nothing much to be
remembered or to take back at the end of your
listening. |
|
 |
|
|
On the
whole, in an album of 6 tracks filled with highs and lows
Vishal Bharadwaj fails to impress as comparisons are drawn
to Omkara and the works. But with the right star cast and
hype surrounding the movie atleast 2 tracks Jee Le and
Sunidhi's rendition of the title track are sure to be
remembered for a long time to come. |
