Music Review : Fanaa

Expectations are sky high from this Yash Chopra production...many reasons for this
1) Aamir and Kajol together for the first time (u can disregard Ishq as they werent paired opposite each other)
2) Kunal Kohli is back after Hum Tum
3) Also reunion of the hit pair of Jatin-Lalit and Prasoon Joshi
4) Last music soundtrack from Jatin-Lalit before their split
5) Yash Chopra tries the terrorist theme for the first time

Now going to the main topic...music....
First distinct thing is that Yashraj fav Lata and Udit do not feature in the soundtrack

The album opens with Chand Sifarish sung brilliantly by Shaan and ably supported by Kailash Kher...this song is definitely a chart buster..watch for the Santoor and whistle interlude in the song...though the whistle is inspired from Yaaran yaaran song of Hum Tum I would still give the song 9/10 because of freshness and excellent musical arrangement...

Next comes Tere Haath mein sung by Sonu and Sunidhi..a typical yashraj mushy mushy number...both of them sing well..moreover Aamir and Kajol make their presence felt with their dialogue narration...Kajol narrates the now famous line
"Tere Dil Mein Meri Sanson Ko Panaah Mil Jaaye...Tere Ishq Mein Meri Jaan Fanaa Ho Jaaye"
Actually Aamir has more lines than Kajol in this number...

This is followed by Chamda chamke which is I guess the first tongue twisting song in Bollywood...everyone has sung brilliantly though the music is directly lifted from Yaaran Yaaran (again) from Hum Tum...dunno why Jatin Lalit has to lift tunes from one song and use it in 2 songs of this soundtrack ...moreover the copied tune also was his own creation (quite different from Anu Malik :)) ...Aamir and Kajol again feature in this fun number....this number is going to be highly popular among kids.....

Next comes Dekho Na which is a good romantic number though not on par with Tere Haath Mein..this is again sung by Sonu and Sunidhi

Des Rangila follows this number and reminds me of Aisa des hai mera froim Veer Zaara...the tune is again lifted from Yeh Ladka Hai Allah from K3G...inspite of lifting tunes all these soings sound fresh....

Fanaah for you rounds of the music album...this is the remix version of Chand Sifarish by DJ Aqeel.....great party soundtrack which will be heard regularly for sometime in dicsotheques and pubs....

Overall a neat album which will surely find favours among the public....
