Barfi Music Review


Rating: ★ ★ ★ 
Anurag Basu (Director) has always been associated with quality, melodious soundtracks, case in point: 'Saaya' (2002); 'Murder' (2004); 'Gangster' (2006); 'Life In A Metro' (2007) and 'Kites' (2010). Now, when the deadly combination of Anurag Basu and Pritam Chakraborty (Music Director) join hands for "Barfi!", expectations are humongous to say the least, sole reason being the duo previous venture 'Life In A Metro' which is still considered the best OST from the stable of Pritam till date and more importantly the track 'Ala Barfi ' is already gaining popularity among the listeners. With six originals and 2 reprises, let’s enter the magical world of 'Barfi!' 

The title song "Barfi" is mischievous, charming, melodious and one of the cutest song of 2012. Mohit Chauhan is born for such genre and is sparklingly amazing. Come to the lyrics and the ever dependable Swanand Kirkire (S.K) steals the show with some simple yet splendid work that describes the story of the lead protagonist Murphy (Ranbir Kapoor) beautifully. The arrangements are kept simple with minimum use of orchestra that creates a peaceful environment. A flamboyant opening to the soundtrack which will be crucial from the movie's perspective and will be used at various junctures. Must Hear and a chart scorcher for the next one month! To much surprise S.K. himself comes behind the mike for "Ala Barfi Version 2" where the lyricist turned singer does a pretty good job. The arrangements are different at places and one can sense a bit of Shantanu Moitra (Music Director) with various instruments being used innovatively and also it's the way S.K sings, that makes it an interesting hear. Just enjoy this delightful composition without comparing with the original!

Pritam makes his presence felt with the next track "Main Kya Karoon" which is on the same lines as 'I Love You' from 'Bodyguard' but is far more enthralling and engaging. Debutant Nikhil Paul George almost does a 'Ash King' as the song starts but creates his own aura with his innocent and carefree voice which gives a real feeling and not an animated one. A love song which is beautifully interwoven with S.K lyrics that defines the state of being in love with so much ease that one inst. Notice how gracefully Nikhil croons the signature line: 'Is Dil Ka Main Kya Karoon, Mai Kya Karoon, Mai Kya Karoon', especially towards the end of the song. Terrific and yes again a definite Top Ten!

"Kyon" is another fine romantic outing with the sublime vocals of Papon (wonder why such voice is not used to its potential) and Sunidhi Chauhan. It takes you back to the good old days with the 'horse-cart' feel of the 1970's where Neelesh Misra writes some refined situational stuff that will be surely picturised on Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra and indeed would be a treat to watch onscreen.

The find of Pritam, Arijit Singh is one hell of a talent, be it the club number 'Jhoom Jhoom Ta Hu Main' (Players), the ever absorbing 'Raabta' (Agent Vinod) or 'Dua' (Shanghai), he has shown his versatility and hold over all the genre of music..this time he hits the nail on its head with the classical "Phir Le Aaya Dil" (Reprise) which is breathtaking right from the alaap at the start to the tabla - sitaar Jugalbandi to the beautiful piano from 2.30 to 2.50 to Arijit's absorbing voice to S.K.'s poetic painful lyrics, everything is simply terrific! Intoxicating stuff and it will be a sin if you miss this masterpiece by Pritam. To add more depth and quality, one of the finest female vocalist at present, Rekha Bhardwaj has been roped in for the original version "Phir Le Aaya Dil" and what else does one expect from a voice like her..A Majestic composition! The classical/ghazal touch has almost been eliminated in this version but nevertheless..One can't get resist hitting the 'REPEAT' mode.

Charlie Chaplin like Harmonica starts off "Aashiyan" which transports you back to the 1950 to 1970's era. Nikhil Paul George reminds of Benny Dayal at places but is terrific nevertheless and Shreya Ghoshal's mellifluous voice seems to be tailor made for this one. A soft breezy song where S.K takes us on a dream ride with his simple yet effective lyrics. The violin loop in the interlude is dynamically used and the orchestra remains pretty ordinary for the rest of the song but yes its foot tapping and catchy and will grow once the video is out.

Arijit Singh ends the soundtrack on a perfect note with "Saawali Si Raat" that has some hair-raising low (read whispering) notes and lyrics that will touch your heart and leave you gasping for more. S.K's lyrics are the high point in this composition which is beautifully paced with minimum/soft instruments; the piano used in tandem with the vocals is awe-inspiring. Forget everything, plug in your earphones and let yourself transport in a magical world that will leave you in trance and stand still.

"Barfi!" is one of the most original and innocent soundtrack by Pritam Chakraborty where each and every composition will have a crucial impact in taking the movie's narration forward. The songs will look good onscreen and Pritam certainly deserves a pat on his back as it's not an easy task to compose for a movie where the lead protagonist is deaf and dumb, so the songs are the only thoughts and voice we hear through which everything, every feeling, every thought of the protagonist needs to be conveyed. As the movie reaches its release date, the songs will grow where "Phir Se Aaya Dil" and "Saawali Si Raat" will find a crucial spot in the playlist of all the listeners. Don't Worry, Be Barfi!
 I rate it a 4.0 on 5.0

SINGHAM-Music Review

Rating:★  ★  ★  
When you hear the name Rohit Shetty as the director of a movie, Pritam is the name that instantly strikes for the music composer ,he has been the hot favourite for Rohit Shetty's films,be it the Golmaal series (apart from the 1st one, other 2 had Pritam tunes) or last year released All The Best.But this time for his latest action-thriller SINGHAM,Rohit chooses Ajay-Atul:The National Award winning Marathi Jodi,who has given music way back in 2004 for GAYAB ,Viruddh and Hanuman Chaalisa in Vaah!Life Ho To Aisi(2005).So,seeing their past record in Bollywood,one doesnt expects a Roller-Coaster ride from them and surprisingly the album offers only 3 original soundtracks with 3 remixes of the same.Lyrics are by Swanand Kirkire who has won National Awards for Behti Hawa Sa Tha Wo(3 idiots) & Bande Me Tha Dum(Lago Raho Munna Bhai).So,Lets see what they have to offer.

The title track Singham is sung audaciously by Sukhwinder Singh who has hits to his name in form of Hud Hud Dabbang and Omkara,but this song is completely different from both of them,its more of a War song with sounds of lion roars in between(Singham=Lion).The song starts with some kind of Sanskrit Shloks and then gives a slight feeling of Ajeem-0-Shah-Shehanshah(Jodha-Akbar) solely on the music front.The song will be a hit and will settle down in 2-to-3 hearings and will work well along the narration of the movie.All in all a good song which will be more popular once the movie releases.

Next song Saathiya crooned by Shreya Ghosal & Ajay Gogavale will leave you spellbound due to the sweet voice of Shreya and the addictive-humming tune which says -Badmaash dil to thag hai bada(wonder why the song is not named Badmaash Dil instead of Saathiya).Ajay provides good support to Shreya in these lines.Its straightaway a chartbuster and will click instantly,although many people would call it a Pritam genre or highlights of Seedhe-Saade Saara Sauda(Aakrosh-2010) can be observed,but keeping all things aside,its a fantastic original masterpiece and a must hear.Not to forget Swanand Kirkire who provides very meaningful lyrics here.Go for this song.

Kunal Ganjawala & Richa Sharma,yes thats the combination for the next song,Maula Maula which starts as a love song but later turns into a Qawwali(at places).The song is hummable but Richa  Sharma will make you think  if she is the right choice for the song,although Kunal Ganjawala does a good job behind the mike but its more of a Rahat Fateh Ali Khan genre.Good song anyways.

Coming to the 3 remixes,Singham Remix is impressive from the word go due to the use of different musical arrangements which makes the song sound different from the original.Saathiya Remix is a usual remix and keeps the pace and innocence of the song intact.The Maula Maula Remix adds some more beats and pace to the original and has nothing special in it.

The music of Singham keeps you wanting for more and all you get is 3 compositions,thats the only disadvantage it has.Badmaash dil/Saathiya will top the charts in the coming days and the title song will grow with time.The album should be heard by every music lover.

    Mann bhanwar uthe, Tan Sihar uthe,
    Jab Khabar uthe ke, 
    Aave Singham.
    Na Agar chale, na magar chale,
    Bas kehar chale ,jab Aave Singham.

    Buro ko khech ke kheech ke,Dhool dabeech ke lehpath pad jaaye,
    Bhalo ko kheench ke kheench ke ,Baahon me bheench ke jab bhi mil jaaye,
    Na kisi se ye kam,Bada isme hai dum,
    Narsingh hai Ye Singham.
    Mann bhanwar uthe, Tan Sihar uthe,
    Jab Khabar uthe ke, 
    Aave Singham.
    Na Agar chale, na magar chale,
    Bas kehar chale ,jab Aave Singham.

    Dil to saccha hai,Is dil me reh lo,
    Sapna acha hai,Palko se dhak lo.

    Dil vil se to hai ye to baccha,Shararat karta hi phire.
    Agar kabhi samjhi isko koi baccha,Ghoonsa hi mile.
    Taaza hai hawaa ka  yeh jhoka,yaha waha behta hi phire.
    Agar kabhi iska rasta roka,Toofan sir chade.

    Buro ko khech ke kheech ke,Dhool dabeech ke lehpath pad jaaye,
    Bhalo ko kheench ke kheench ke ,Baahon me bheench ke jab bhi mil jaaye,
    Na kisi se ye kam,Bada isme hai dum,
    Narsingh hai Ye Singham.
    Mann bhanwar uthe, Tan Sihar uthe,
    Jab Khabar uthe ke, 
    Aave Singham.



    Yeh na Satka hai,Raste se kat lo,
    Tagda jhakta hai,Dum hai to Chakhlo.

    Atrangi hai josh me chalta,Baahon me bijli si chale.
    Nazre jo shola shola dushman to,Raakh me jaa mile.
    Jaise koi sher sehra me chalta,Sara jag raundta chale.
    Yaaron bas ladne ka ise chaska,Parvat se bhide.

    Buro ko khech ke kheech ke,Dhool dabeech ke lehpath pad jaaye,
    Bhalo ko kheench ke kheench ke ,Baahon me bheench ke jab bhi mil jaaye,
    Na kisi se ye kam,Bada isme hai dum,
    Narsingh hai Ye Singham.
    Mann bhanwar uthe, Tan Sihar uthe,
    Jab Khabar uthe ke, 
    Aave Singham.

    Saathiya(Badmaash Dil) Lyrics-Singham


    Saathiya, Saathiya,
    Pagle se dil ne ye kya kiya.
    Chun liya, Chun liya,
    Tujhko dewaane ne chun liya
    Dil toh uda uda re aasman me badalon ke sang,
    Ye to machal machal ke ga raha hai sun nayi si dhun.

    Badmash dil to thag hai bada,
    Badmash dil ye tujh se juda,
    Badmash dil meri sune na zidd pe ada.

    Badmash dil tto thag hai bada,
    Badmash dil ye tujh se juda,
    Badmash dil meri sune na zidd pe ada.

    Achhi lagi, dil ko mere, har teri baat re,
    Saaya tera ,ban ke chalun ,itna hai khwab re.
    Kaandhe pe sar, rakh ke tere, kat jaaye raat re,
    Beete ye din, thaame tera, haathon me haath re.

    Ye kya hua mujhe, mera ye dil phisal phisal gaya,
    Ye kya hua mujhe, mera jahaan badal badal gaya.

    Badmash dil to thag hai bada,
    Badmash dil ye tujh se juda,
    Badmash dil meri sune na zidd pe ada.

    Badmash dil to thag hai bada,
    Badmash dil ye tujh se juda,
    Badmash dil meri sune na zidd pe ada.

    Neende nahi,Chaina Nai,Badlu mai karvatein,
    Taare ginu,ya main ginu,Chaadar ki Salvatein.
    Yaadon me tu,Khwabo me tu,Teri hi Chahate,
    Jayu Jidhar,Dhunda karu,Teri hi aahatein.

    Ye jo hai dil mera,Ye dil suno na keh raha yahi,
    Wo bhi kya zindagi ,haa zindagi,haa jisme tu nahi.

    Badmash dil to thag hai bada,
    Badmash dil ye tujh se juda,
    Badmash dil meri sune na zidd pe ada.

    Saathiya, Saathiya,
    Pagle se dil ne ye kya kiya.
    Chun liya, Chun liya,
    Tujhko dewaane ne chun liya
    Dil toh uda uda re aasman me badalon ke sang,
    Ye to machal machal ke ga raha hai sun nayi si dhun.

    Badmash dil to thag hai bada,
    Badmash dil ye tujh se juda,
    Badmash dil meri sune na zidd pe ada.

    Maula Maula Lyrics-Singham

    Roshan hai yeh zameen,aasmaan sab ishq ke dum se,
    Dhalte hai din aur raat ishq ke hi dum se.

    Khushiyon ke beshumar behisaab se sikke khanke,
    Dil ki ab har muraad ishq ke hi dum se.

    Tu hai mera khuda, ab na hona juda,
    Kar de qaram ke dil yeh chain payega.
    Maula maula re, shukr tera maula re,
    Rubaru hua hai mera yaar.
    Hooo.. maula maula re, shukr tera maula re,
    Rubaru hua hai mera yaar.

    Sajde mein tere hi ,jhuk jayu main sadaa,
    Teri hi baahon mein ho jayu lapata.
    Chhav ho, dhoop ho rasta bhi ho naya,
    Humko ab kaisa dar sang jo hai tu chala.

    Ab tere sare hi gham hai mere,Ab meri khushiyan teri hai sada.

    Tu hai mera khuda, ab na hona juda,
    Kar de karam ke dil yeh chain paayega.
    Maula maula re, shukr tera maula re,
    Rubaru hua hai mera yaar.
    Ho.. maula maula re, shuar tera maula re,
    Rubaru hua hai mera yaar.

    Roshan hai yeh zameen aasmaan sab, ishq ke dum se,
    Dhalte hai din aur raat ishq ke hi dum se.

    Ho khushiyon ke beshumaar behisaab se sikke khanke,
    Dil ki ab har muraad ishq ke hi dum se.


    Tu hai mera khuda, ab na hona juda,
    Karde karam ke dil yeh chain paayega.
    Maula maula re, shukr tera maula re,
    Rubaru hua hai mera yaar.
    Hoo maula maula re, shukr tera maula re,
    Rubaru hua hai mera yaar.
