Kismat Konnection Music review
Music: Pritam, Sajid-Wajid
Lyrics: Sayeed Quadri, Shabbir Ahmed
Label: Tips
Rating: ***
Aziz Mirza films have always had a decent musical score but when it comes to Kismat Konnection , what strikes a chord primarily is the exceptionally successful alliance of Shahid Kapoor and music director Pritam in their last offing Jab We Met . Logically one expects the alchemy and outcome to be equally fertile in Kismat Konnection .
The moment you play the first track of this album, it takes charge of both your mind and body. The signature tune with which the number starts, and continues to play in the backdrop throughout the track’s runtime, strikes an instant appeal with the listener. Aai Paapi (Tu Hai Meri Soniye) written with a youthful touch by Shabbir Ahmed also qualifies for the title track of Kismat Konnection and earns a lucky charm for its soundtrack, right at the beginning. The potent combination of music director Pritam and singer Neeraj Shridhar who have recently come up with successive chartbusters like Hare Krishna Hare Ram (Bhool Bhullaiya) , Ishq Ka Kalma (Goal) and the upcoming title track of Singh is Kinng continue their ‘track record’ with this splendid dance number. Expect some flexible grooving gyrations from Shahid Kapoor here.
Atif Aslam starts Bakhuda Tumhi Ho with his regular alaaps and soon takes over with his soulful singing. Alka Yagnik subsequently joins him in this romantic duet penned by Sayeed Quadri. Pritam synthesizes flute notes reminding of his treatment to Hum Jo Chalne Lage (Jab We Met). A couple of listening and the melody of this number simply grows on you!
Singer Hard Kaur who struck to fame with the number Move Your Body from Johnny Gaddaar , returns to sing a song with exactly the same title alongside Shaan, Suheil and Akriti Kakkar. This Bhangra -disco fusion, very much in the vein of Pritam’s earlier compositions, U and I (Naksha) and Ishq Da Kalma (Goal), again sets you to motion on the dance floor. Another version of the same track has Adeel replacing Shaan and Suheil without much audible difference.
One can easily mistake Mohit Chauhan’s opening lines Is This Love (Kahin Na Laage) as Kunal Ganjawala’s rendition. Nevertheless the singer from the Silk Route band sets the right mood for this mellifluous love song, very much in the ambiance of the sublime soundtrack of Jab We Met . Shreya Ghoshal’s honey-soaked vocals are tailor-made for such sweetness drenched compositions.
Guest composers Sajid-Wajid are invited for their trademark festivity bhangra composition. Soniye Ve (Dhak Dhak Dhak) is clearly a revisited version of ‘Aaja Soniye’ from Mujhse Shaadi Karoge right from its arrangements to the singing approach. Moreover the title line is also derived from Juggy D’s pop number with the same name. Nevertheless the vigourous vibes of commercial tracks like these is something that never goes wrong. The off-lately less-heard Sonu Nigam teams up with Sunidhi Chauhan for this fun number.
That completes the firsthand compositions on the album. What follows is remix versions of each of the above mentioned track with the standard remix effects to comprise an album with almost a dozen tracks.
One of the most productive composers today, Pritam Chakraborthy, yet again comes up with a promising score. Kismat Konnection instantly connects with the listener and Pritam ensures that nothing has been left to plain luck or as they say ‘Kismat’ .
