Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani have done an amazing job on the music of Amitabh Bachchan-starrer ‘Aladin’, which is a modern version of the classic Arabian tale. The entire music of the album is racy and energetic.
‘Aladin’ offers six originals and two remixes.
The album kicks off with the ‘Genie rap’, where Amitabh croons along with Anushka Manchanda. The song, which is a situational one, leaves an average level of impression on the music lovers. The remixed version by DJ Suketu comes with more beats and is much faster.
The next number is the ‘Tak dhina din’. The title track of the movie has Shankar Mahadevan and Shaan behind the mikes and is a high-energy number, with the tempo retained from start to end.
The ‘O re saawariya’ that comes next, is a lovely number which starts in a soft manner with the pace increasing later on. The song is an excellent blend of classical and rustic influences. Sudesh Bhonsle, Shreya Ghoshal, Shaan and Amitabh have lent their voice to the song. The remix version by DJ Suketu is a foot tapping number.
Up next is ‘You may be’, which is the only soft, poignant number of the album. Vishal and Shekhar have lent the voice for the love ballad, which has both English and Hindi lyrics. A perfect song for music lovers as well as those who are in love.
‘Bachke o bachke’ rendered by Shankar, Shaan and Sunidhi is yet another energetic and foot tapping number which starts off slowly. Slowly the song gathers the tempo.
The last one is ‘Giri giri’, which is an entirely different track rendered by Sanjay Dutt. But he fails to do justice to the number with his bad vocals. But yet, the music is good enough for attracting the music lovers.
On the whole, Vishal and Shekhar have composed fast-paced, high on beats songs and most of them are enjoyable.
