EXPECTATIONS
Honestly, one's expectations are in check before
playing on the music of Love Breakups Zindagi. After
all, the movie hasn't been hyped for its music
during its making and other than Dia Mirza and Zayed
Khan, there are no other major names involved. Yes,
Salim-Sulaiman have time and again delivered well
due to which the least one can expect is a decent
music at the least. Also with Javed Akhtar as the
lyricist, there is further credibility added to the
album. However, instead of going over board, one
still waits to check out the four songs that follow. |

MUSIC
The first thing that strikes about 'Rozaana'
is the classy treatment that has been meted out by
Salim-Sulaiman and Javed Akhtar. The kind of number
that one associates with a big film coming from the
likes of a Yash Chopra or a Karan Johar, 'Rozaana'
is about the protagonist being elated with what life
has to offer and live it every day with a big smile
on the face. A positive |

number which is sung even enthusiastically by Salim
Merchant, 'Rozaana' (which also arrives in a 'remix
version') is a big winner all the way. While one
waits to see it rise in popularity in days to come,
one can be sure that this is one song that has in it
to enjoy a long shelf life.
Salim Merchant continues the show by starting 'Rab
Rakha' before Sonu Nigam takes over. This
time around Love Breakups Zindagi moves on to
celebration mode though with a difference. This
means that despite a 'shaadi byaah' setting here,
the song doesn't enter into the 'bhangra' zone and
instead keeps it all sublime and romantic while
ensuring that the lively mood of the album stays on
to be intact. Sonu Nigam is excellent yet again as
he renders 'Rab Rakha' with all his heart in while
Shreya Ghoshal and Shradha Pandit add on good
support to make it yet another classy track. And
yes, the Yash Raj influence stays. |

By this time one's expectations has only soared
further and there is good hope that the next song to
follow, 'Love Love Love',
would continue the feel good mood of Love Breakups
Zindagi. This is exactly what one gets as 'Love Love
Love' (the song which plays in the background of the
film's promos) turns out to be a peppy-n-lively
track which adds on to the youthful flavour of the
album. Benny Dayal and Shradha Pandit do well to
make 'Love Love Love' as almost an anthem |

of this film and one strongly feels that this song
would appear at various junctures in the film's narrative.
With fingers crossed and expecting that the entire album
turns out to be a complete package experience, one plays on
'Chayee Hai Tanhayee',
the last song of the album. Thankfully for the listener,
this is what happens with Shafqat Amanat Ali doing quite
well in this sad song which is entertaining nonetheless. A
song about separation and the pain in heart that follows, 'Chayee
Hai Tanhayee' has a 'sufi' flavour to it with the kind of
beats that first became popular with 'Kehna Hi Kya'
[Bombay]. However, the song is not just about Shafqat as
Salim Merchant and Shruti Pathak make an extended appearance
as well while ensuring that the song continues to flow
smoothly.
OVERALL
This is turning out to be one real good season when it comes
to romantic/feel good music being churned out in Bollywood.
Mausam, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Hum Tum Shabana and now Love
Breakups Zindagi - there is a lot in store for those who
swear by quintessential Bollywood scores. Go for this one,
it will pleasantly surprise you. |
