In last few weeks, music stands have seen the
arrival of quite a few albums which have Anu Malik
credited as a composer. While he has contributed
along with other composers for Woodstock Villa, Anu
Malik has run the show entirely for Hastey Hastey
and Anamika. However, none of them can be termed as
a true blue comeback for the man who once upon a
time used to deliver countless chartbuster songs.
His last big album was Umrao Jaan but it bit the
dust. Now with Love Story 2050 looking at hitting
the screens, one can finally see Anu Malik indeed
making a big comeback. Big, because creating a
soundtrack for a newcomer is always a challenging
task. In Bollywood scenario, music has always played
an intrinsic role in deciding the future of a future
superstar. |

Aa Gaya Hun Mein... |
|
Singer(s):
Kay Kay |
|
|
'Aa Gaya Hun Mein' is the opening track of the album
which actually serves the purpose of announcing the
arrival of Harman Baweja. Seemingly a stage number
with a rock setting to it, this Kay Kay rendered
track has an elaborate music arrangement to it but
surprisingly the overall tune turns out to be just
about average. Even a much spirited Kay Kay is
slightly off the mark here as he sounds a little
subdued.
|
|
 |
|
|
Not a kind of number which you expect at the top of
the heap, especially when a star is being created, 'Aa
Gaya Hun Mein' has it's major hope now lying in the
way it is picturised with Harman's dance moves
managing to create some impact. |

|
Lover Boy.. |
|
Singer(s):
Alisha Chinoy |
| |
There was a time when Alisha Chinoy and Anu Malik
had parted ways both professionally and personally.
However, off late they seem to have sorted out their
differences and started coming together more
frequently. In Love Story 2050 they do so for a song
which goes like 'Hey You Lover Boy, Will You Be My
Toy'! Now thankfully the number is for an A-Grade
project like this because if only such lyrics were
heard in a film starring the likes of a Rakhi Sawant
or a Sambhavna Seth or a perhaps in a music video of
a Nandini Jumani, audience would have got completely
different ideas!
Coming back to 'Lover Boy Will You', instead of
being futuristic it in fact has a 80s feel to it.
Perhaps Anu Malik does believe that the music of the
era gone by would come back in fashion half a
century from now and hence decided to create this
moderately paced song which comes with a Western
format! Yet again, one looks forward to how director
Harry Baweja does something on screen for this tune. |

|
Mausam Achanak.. |
|
Singer(s):
Shaan, Alka Yagnik |
| |
|
|
Thankfully, one does hear something really
refreshing the moment Shaan and Alka Yagnik get
together to croon a dipped-in-mush 'Mausam Achanak
Ye Badala Kyu'. Now that's a kind of number that
really makes one look forward to what's next on
store in Love Story 2050. An out and out melodic
number which has both Shaan and Alka Yagnik at their
romantic best. And yes, even though there are
reference points that one can find with 'Kuch To Hua
Hai' [Kal Ho Na Ho], one doesn't
|
|
 |
|
|
|
mind that at all. The best song of the enterprise so
far! |
|
|
|
Milo Na Milo.. |
|
Singer(s):
Shaan |
|
|
|
It's the rhythm
which comes at the very beginning of 'Milo Na Milo' that
turns out to be an absolute killer. The sound which is
currently being heard in the promos of Love Story 2050,
'Milo Na Milo' is a good mix of Anu Malik's sense of Indian
melody amalgamated with Western arrangements. The spirited
effort which was missing in Kay Kay's 'Aa Gaya Hun Mein' is
compensated by Shaan in the way he goes about rendering
'Milo Na Milo'. Electronic sound is an integral part of the
music arrangements here that adds on to the futuristic feel
and setting of the song. This dance number has all in it to
'really' announce the arrival of Harman. |
|
|
|
Meelon Ka.. |
|
Singer(s):
Kay Kay, Alka Yagnik |
|
|
Kay Kay
returns to the scene again and one sincerely hopes that this
time around he cracks it just right. One always has high
expectations from the most versatile singer that we have on
the singing front today and there are no reasons why 'Meelon
Ka Jaisa Tha Fasla' shouldn't turn out to be an interesting
composition.
A number about 'distance hardly mattering when it comes to
the matter of hearts', it is the sad version of 'Meelonn'
which comes first. With Alka Yagnik as his partner, Kay Kay
is better here this time around and makes this an overall
decent situational track. 'Happy version' of 'Meelon Ka
Jaisa Tha Fasla' is double the duration of the sad version
and essentially keeps a similar pace. Expect a romantic
outing at exotic locations for Priyanka and Harman when the
song plays in the movie. |

|
|
Sach Kehna.. |
|
Singer(s):
Kunal Ganjawala |
|
|
|
It is time to get back into a peppy mood with 'Sach
Kehna Sach Kehna' which turns out to be one of the
best songs of the album so far along with 'Milo Na
Milo' and 'Mausam Achanak'. A Kunal Ganjawala solo
about a man wooing his girl, this rhythmic number is
core Bollywood in its appeal and in the process
works quite well to have been picturised on a
youngster. Kunal is quite effective in the way he
keeps the pep factor on throughout with his
rendition while Anu Malik too does |

 |
|
|
|
well in making sure that the urban youth get into a
liking for this dance number. Get this song on; it would
surely help the sales of the album soar! |
|
|
|
Jane Kaisi Hai Teri Meri Love Story.. |
|
Singer(s):
Shaan |
|
|
|
Finale of the
album happens on a high note with the number 'Jane Kaisi Hai
Teri Meri Love Story' coming in both the happy and the sad
version. Yet another number which has a core melody feel to
it, it has Anu Malik as well as Javed Akhtar saab at their
romantic best. Reminding of 'Na Tum Jaano Na Hum' from 'Kaho
Naa Pyaar Hai', though strictly in terms of the song's genre
and setting, 'Jane Kaisi Hai Teri Meri Love Story' really
managed to impress. Shaan sings in a way that he has
perfected over the years and delivers what is expected out
of him, both in the happy and the sad version, which is a
tad slower. A good ending. |

It isn't
the best of the beginning for Love Story 2050 because
neither 'Aa Gaya Hun Mein' nor 'Lover Boy Will You' make you
believe that the songs have been composed for a newcomer's
launch. However, the moment numbers like 'Mausam Achanak',
'Milo Na Milo', 'Sach Kehna' and 'Jane Kaisi Hai Teri Meri
Love Story' follow one after another; you know that the
album is only getting better. Makers of Love Story 2050 have
done the right thing in bringing on 'Milo Na Milo' as the
first song in the film's promotion. It would help if 'Mausam
Achanak' and 'Jane Kaisi Hai Teri Meri Love Story' are the
next to follow with 'Sach Kehna' being reserved for the
final kill around the film's release. |
