Kumar Mangat surely likes to experiment when it
comes to the music of his films. While his Sunday
had six composers for six different songs in the
film, in Haal-E-Dil, he has opted for multiple
composers. This is why for a total of seven songs,
he has short listed as many as four composers and
four lyricists along with 11 singers who have
contributed to make sure that Haal-E-Dil boasts of a
variety of sounds.
While Anand Raj Anand takes the cake with three
numbers, Pritam, Vishal Bharadwaj and Raghav Sachar
have a song apiece as well. Munna Dhiman, Sameer,
Shabbir Ahmed and Aditya Dhar are the lyricists who
have come together for this venture which acts as
the launch pad of Mangat's daughter Amita along with
Nakuul Mehta and Adhyayan Suman.
Well, Kumar Mangat has done it with his mega
experiment of roping in a various composers and
lyricists for his daughter's launch and if director
Anil Devgan has done as good job as the musical team
here, the newcomers can be rest assured that
audience would stand up and notice their debut film. |

Haal-E-Dil... |
|
Singer(s):
Raahat Fateh Ali Khan, Shreya Ghoshal |
|
|
|
When a team comprising of artists like Vishal
Bharadwaj, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Shreya Ghosal and
Munna Dhiman comes together, you know that it is
going to be magic. Well, magic it is the moment
Rahat's voice kick starts the album with a brilliant
rendition of the title song Haal-E-Dil. Vishal
Bhardwaj's stranglehold over the medium (fusing
Indian folk and Sufi elements) is apparent once
again throughout this 7 and a half minute tune which
boasts of an all around class and |
|
 |
|
makes you look forward to a grandeur setting.
A pleasant surprise comes in the form of Rekha
Bhardwaj version which appears towards the album's
end. Even though it is marked as 'Haal-E-Dil -
Remix', it is a mix of a different kind since
instead of added beats, it turns out to be an almost
unplugged version which stays even more rooted to
the folk flavor where Vishal allows Rekha to just go
with the flow. It is quite apparent that Rekha is
completely oblivious of all the arrangements around
her and is plain and simple enjoying her rendition.
All in all, the title song brings a brilliant
beginning and ending to the album! |

|
Jeeta Hoon.. |
|
Singer(s):
Sonu Nigam, Pamela Jain |
| |
|
There would hardly be a soul who would complain if
given an opportunity to hear Sonu Nigam in a mould
similar to that of his non-film albums - 'Deewana',
'Jaan' and 'Yaad'! Yet another excellent composition
with Anand Raj Anand at the helm this time around, 'Jeeta
Hoon' has Sonu Nigam at his best as he sings in a
style, which would certainly please his fans. With a
mix of Indian and Western arrangements, 'Jeeta Hoon'
is a kind of number, which is targeted at youth and
fits in perfectly well with the flavor of the film.
Though Pamela Jain is also heard in the song,
overall it stays on to be an out and out Sonu Nigam
number. |

|
Rang.. |
|
Singer(s):
Sonu Nigam |
| |
|
|
Third song. Third composer. Third lyricist. That's
'Rang' for you, which sees Raghav Sachar and Aditya
Dhar collaborating yet again. There is a certain
manner in which Sachar creates his love songs and
his trademark rhythm, a la Kabul Express, Sunday and
One Two Three, is visible yet again in 'Rang'. A
Sonu Nigam solo, which relies more on melody rather
than going ballistic on rhythm, 'Rang', is third
straight song in succession that manages to impress.
Also, since Sachar likes
|
|
 |
|
|
|
singing his songs too, he get behind the mike for
the 'remix version' which again sticks to melody without
going overboard on the beats. |

Agg Lage Aaj Kal De Fashion Nu.. |
|
Singer(s):
Labh Janjua, Hard Kaur |
|
|
|
After Vishal
Bhardwaj, Anand Raaj Anand and Raghav Sachar, it is Pritam's
turn to ignite some serious heat.with 'Agg Lage Aaj Kal De
Fashion Nu'. Now count this one as a sure shot chartbuster
in the making since it is just the kind of dance number that
Haal-E-Dil was looking at this stage. A hip-hop number with
a mix of English and Hindi lyrics, a cute sounding girl
chorus, a spirited duo of Labh Jajua and Hardkaur, a dash of
Punjabi folk and some great club rhythm in motion, 'Agg Lage
Aaj Kal De Fashion Nu' should turn out to be a bigger hit
than Labh's own 'Pyar Karke Pachtaya' [Pyaar Ke Side
Effects] if promoted well! |
|
|
|
Oye Hoye.. |
|
Singer(s):
Udit Narayan, Pamela Jain |
|
|
|
It's the
return of Anand Raj Anand in the album with 'Oye Hoye',
which takes you into the hills right away, especially with
the way Udit Narayan goes about rendering his part. Also,
Anand Raj Anand ensures that he keeps the song 100% Indian
in it's feel and doesn't let any external factor interrupt
the sheer melody. A beautiful song written by Sameer with a
prominent North Indian feel to it, 'Oye Hoye' is extremely
ear friendly and could have been grabbed by the Yash Chopras
of the world. |
|
|
|
Rani.. |
|
Singer(s):
Sonu Nigam |
|
|
With a score of 5 out of 5, one sincerely hopes that
remaining two tracks of Haal-E-Dil too turn out to
be likeable. There has been a dearth of good music
in last few weeks and industry has been really
looking for a bonafide musical success. Well, 'Rani',
third composition of Anand Raaj Anand, does start
off quite well and the moment Sonu Nigam steps in,
you know it is going to be melody time yet again.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
A pure composition which is set in the same romantic
mould that Nadeem Shravan and Jatin Lalit excelled in for
close to two decades, 'Rani' written by Sameer is a
Bollywood romantic number to the core which doesn't carry
any blemish whatsoever and makes you like it in the very
first hearing. The setting of the song may be clichéd but
guess what, it works! |
|
|
|
Khwahish.. |
|
Singer(s):
Shaan, Sunidhi Chauhan, Raghav Sachar |
|
|
|
It's the sound
of guitar which brings to fore the last song in the album -
'Khwahish'. Raghav Sachar and Aditya Dhar are the men behind
this composition which has Shaan, Sunidhi Chauhan and Sachar
himself coming together to create yet another melodic
outing. Set in an Indi-pop mode with urban youth as the
target audience, 'Khwahish' is dipped in mush and melody and
in the process ensures that Haal-E-Dil turns out to be an
eminently enjoyable album from start till the end. |
|
|
|
Haal-E-Dil
is an excellent album, which has all in it to be an ideal
Valentines gift for someone you love. It would have been
just apt if this out and out romantic album with variety
galore would have released in the month of February to
coincide with the mega love event. However, seasons hardly
matter in case of Haal-E-Dil, which music lovers would love
to grab on to and give a continued hearing. |
