EXPECTATIONS
There was a time when arrival of music belonging to
films starring Govinda was a good enough reason for
celebration. There used to be 'masti', 'dhamaal' and
a lot of fun that was associated with the
soundtrack. However of late there has been quite
some lull as far as music as well as films starring
Govinda is concerned. Though on the face value this
fun comic multi starrer entertainer does promise a
racy score that that would keep you thoroughly
engaged right through the five songs that follow,
Loot doesn't quite make you tighten your seat belts
and wait with bated breath to check out what do
composers Shravan Sinha, Shamir Tondon and Mika
Singh have to offer. |

MUSIC
Loot begins with a song which is pretty much set in
the same mode as 'Main Aayi Hoon UP Bihar Lootne' [Shool].
Picturised on Rakhi Sawant, this Shravan Sinha
composed track is titled 'Jawani
Ki Bank Loot Le' and is basically aimed
at the gentry. What you get is exactly what is
expected from a Rakhi Sawant number and right from
the way it is composed to written (Shravan |
|
 |
|
Sinha again) and sung (Mamta Sharma), 'Jawani Ki
Bank Loot Le' has nothing subtle about it. Composed
for the interiors of the country, it may just manage
to find some patronage in B and C centres where some
fans of Rakhi Sawant still remain.
Shravan Sinha goes on to play the triple role of
composer, lyricist and singer with the title song 'Loot
Loot'. This is hip-hop number which is
set in a manner similar to that of 'Ae Ganpat Zara
Daaru La' [Shoot Out At Lokhandwala] and actually
turns out to be a decent hear. Though its beginning
isn't really impressive enough to catch your
attention, the hook attached to 'Loot Loot' is what
makes you listen to the song a little closer. |

What follows next is the song which makes one wonder
how it could actually have been cleared at the
writing stage itself. Agreed that the given the mood
of the film there was requirement of a risqué
number. However with lyrics that boasts of a start
that gets into 'Bancho'/'Maacho' mode and follows it
up with gems like 'Saari
Duniya Mere Ispe', it turns out to be
more of a turn off instead of something that is
naughty enough to find popularity amongst the youth.
It is Mika Singh who |

 |
|
|
composes, writes and sings this track which tries to
bring in some attitude but doesn't quite succeed in doing
that.
From this point on it is time for composer Shamir Tondon and
lyricist Shabbir Ahmad to spin together a couple of romantic
numbers. First to arrive is 'Ek
Pata Ya Do Pata Ke' which is actually one of the
better songs to arrive in the album, especially when one
compares it with what had just been heard. Kunal Gaanjawala
goes solo for this number that could well be picturised on
Mahakshay Chakravorty due to the young element imbibed in
it. A fun number with a sweet and simple tune that has a
good rhythm attached to it, this 90s style track can be
given an easy listening. |

The song which follows next is pretty much an
extension of what one just heard, what with Kunal
Gaanjawala getting good company of Shaan, K.K.,
Vasundhara and Pinky Chinoy. This one has a more
romantic feel to it though yet again, it is rhythm
that forms the basis of 'Ajab Hulchal Si'. Yet again
this may not be a terrific song in the offering but
given the fact that one hardly had any expectations
to begin with, this reasonably peppy love track with
a Western theme |
|
 |
|
to it does manage to keep you reasonably engaged.
OVERALL
As mentioned earlier, the music of Loot came with hardly any
expectations due to which whatever little is offered does
turn out to be a bonus element. Though the much talked
controversial number 'Saari Duniya Mere Ispe' is hardly the
kind that deserves any attention, a couple of conventional
tracks like 'Ek Pata Ya Do Pata Ke' and 'Ajab Hulchal Si'
bring in some redemption at the least. |
