2 years back, Golmaal was just another comedy multi
starrer that had hit the screens and turned into a
success. Circa 2008 and suddenly one finds its
sequel, Golmaal Returns, being elevated to the
status of being a potential blockbuster. Reasons are
aplenty:
a) The first installment of Golmaal is still afresh
in the mind of cine goers and is being appreciated
in it's satellite and DVD run.
b) The sequel looks bigger and better with Shree
Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd, becoming a formidable
force in the passage of time. Coming in of Kareena
Kapoor, Celina Jaitley, Amrita Arora and Anjana
Sukhani has only added to the star quotient of the
film. |

|
|
c) The film is mounted at a much bigger scale,
something which is pretty much on display courtesy 'dhamakedaar'
promos
d) Director Rohit Shetty now has three successful
films to his credit, though at varied degree, in the
form of Sunday, Golmaal and Zameen. The young
director is truly one of the top 'masala' filmmakers
we have today.

e) Last but certainly not the least, past 18 months
gone by have truly belonged to Pritam. 2008 has been
phenomenal with Race, Singh Is Kinng, Jannat and
Kismat Konnection. No wonder, Golmaal Returns is
being looked as the next BIG winner for Pritam. With
Sameer as the writing partner, Pritam can't really
afford to go wrong on this big project.
So does he deliver? Pretty much so! Golmaal Returns
has the kind of music which goes as per Shetty's
sensibilities of 'action packed score' and Pritam
does well in giving a 'Race' feel to the proceedings
that ensures that listeners have their hands full of
playing one more rip roaring score which is going to
blaze on well in fast moving cars, dance floors and
pubs. No, don't expect any soothing melodies that
Pritam has earlier composed for Jannat or Life... In
A Metro. Here he goes holds-no-bar and comes up with
a 'dhinchaak' score which is good enough for Shetty
to create eye catching visuals that would surely
attract audience into the theaters! |

Tha Kar Ke... |
|
Singer(s):
Neeraj Shridhar, Anvesha, Aakanti, Earl, Indie |

Cards are laid out wide open at the very onset with
'Tha Kar Ke' which surprisingly has a newbie
composer Ashish Pandit at the helm of affairs. Even
though this dance number has a trademark Pritam
sound to it with regular Neeraj Shridhar behind the
mike, 'Tha Kar Ke' is mainly credited to Ashish
Pandit who does a fantastic job in coming up with a
chartbuster number that just can't go wrong. Shot on
a lavish scale, this 'let's get rocking' song has
Anvesha, Aakariti, Earl and Indie providing Neeraj
some very good support which keeps his Hit record
intact. The number boasts of some lavish
arrangements and with a huge orchestra supporting
the tune, the 'remix version' turns out to be even
funkier and makes you head for that dance floor
pronto! |

Vacancy.. |

Nostalgia of Vishal-Shekhar's title song 'Golmaal'
(sung by Anushka Manchanda) is back with the number
'Vacancy' which uses the punch word 'Golmaal' that
is amalgamated well into the tune created by Pritam.
The number takes on exactly from where 'Tha Kar Ke'
left and sees coming together of English as well as
Hindi lyrics. Yet again, the number boasts of a
full-on arrangement which leave hardly a pause in
the entire 5 minute duration. With Neeraj Shridhar
leading the
|
|
 |
|
|
|
charge yet again, the number (with Sameer, Neeraj
Shridhar and Ashish Pandit coming together for the lyrics)
also features Benny, Suhail and Suzi Q who keep the racy
mood intact for Golmaal Returns and ensures that it would
scale up the charts. The 'Kilogram Remix', as the name
suggests, is quite a handful and successfully manages to
throw its weight! |

|
|
Tu Saala.. |
|
Singer(s):
Anushka Manchanda |
|
|
|
15 years back, 'Tu
Saala' would have been classified as a 'chalu' number.
Today, with modern day arrangements and a classy setting,
this one would go down as a number which would work well
both amongst the college going youngsters as well as the
masses. Don't bother too much about the lyrics here, this
one again is a 'beats driven' number (expectedly appearing
in a remix version too) which sees Anushka Manchanda in a
different avtar altogether. Though the rhythm here is
predominantly Indian, the arrangements are Western which
gives it a different feel. The number won't go as far as 'Tha
Kar Ke' and 'Vacancy' but should be an eye candy on screen,
courtesy all the hot-bods that Golmaal Returns boasts of. |

Meow... |
|
Singer(s):
Suzy Q, Monali |
|
|
|
Monali had impressed one and all in her sensual
rendition of 'Touch Me Touch Me' [Race] earlier this
year. In Golmaal Returns she returns along with Suzy
Q for a song that has been interestingly titled
'Meow'. A naughty number with a sensual touch to it,
'Meow' has quite some attitude to it which would
truly appeal to Generation X. With Hindi lyrics by
Sameer and Neeraj Shridhar, Ashish Pandit & Indie
contributing with English lyrics, 'Meow' is a
Hinglish track that has the |
|
 |
|
|
|
kind of sound which has almost been patented by
Pritam. Though the number does touch upon dark shades as
well, it primarily remains a little quirky and is catchy
enough to warrant two more versions - a full on 'English
version' and a 'remix version'. One looks forward to see how
the 'English version' fits into the narrative since it has
quite some interesting lyrics to boast of! |
|
|
|
To bring back the nostalgia of the Golmaal, there is
also a pleasant surprise in the form of an entire soundtrack
by Vishal-Shekhar from the original which is included as a
part of the package. |
|
|
|
Golmaal Returns
is yet another winner from Pritam and guest composer Ashish
Pandit who delivers what is expected from a soundtrack for a
film belonging to action-comedy genre. No one attempts to do
anything exceptional or different from routine and walk the
path that has been successful in the months gone by. The
music may not go the 'Race' way but does well enough to
ensure immense awareness about the film due to its fast
paced approach. |
