EXPECTATIONS
There are decent expectations from the music of
Miley Naa Miley Hum. After all the film looks like a
quintessential romantic entertainer, has a good look
to it, comes with promise of some easy-on-ears
melodies and has Sajid-Wajid as the composers with
Javed Akhtar as the lyricist. With such a team, you
do feel that the music would have something good to
offer despite the fact that amongst actors it is
only Kangna who is the most notable of them all. |

MUSIC
Miley Naa Miley Hum begins on a positive note with 'Haan
Yahi Pyaar Hai'. Okay, so it is clichéd,
routine and predictable but these are the very
factors that have ensured that Bollywood music
continues to have its own identity for over 50
years. With the kind of sound that one does
associate with a young melodious track, 'Haan Yahi
Pyaar Hai' has Shaan and Shreya |

Ghoshal coming together to croon a lovey-dovey song
that seldom fails. No, there isn't anything
extraordinary in the song's presentation here but
its flow is easy enough to warrant a good listening
for those five minutes that go by.
The way 'Wake Up Now'
begins, it is akin to a soothing alarm tune that
would make a person come out of slumber. However 30
seconds down the line and there is an altogether
different experience in store with the song taking a
turn towards being a club dance number. Wajid
decides to bring himself behind the mike and does a
rather good job here along with Suzzane De Mello who
gives him good company. On the same lines as 'Uff
Teri Ada' [Karthik Calling Karthik], 'Wake Up Now'
is a fast paced party song that has an even better
middle portion where melody takes centre stage
instead of rhythm. |

From a love song and a club track, album gets into a
different zone with an out and out massy track that
has its eyes on the front benchers. The song in
question is 'Katto Gilehri'
which has Daler Mehndi and Mamta Sharma bringing on
good enough energy to ensure that the actors/dancers
on whom the song is picturised get really charged in
front of the camera. Though it doesn't go the 'Munni'/'Sheila'
mode, the song still comes close to the likes of 'Tinku
Jiya' in terms |

 |
|
|
of keeping the momentum up for the film's narrative.
In fact what is surprising is that the beginning of next
song, 'Mahi Mahi', is
exactly on the same lines as 'Tinku Jiya'! The song turns
out to be quite different though and is actually a love song
with Richa Sharma opening the proceedings with a rendition
that is based on Punjabi folk. Presumably picturised on
Neeru Bajwa (who is the other leading lady in the film) and
Chirag Paswan (film's main lead), the song has a good pace
to it and only goes on to become further entertaining during
it's middle portion. |

However what indeed turns out to be the song of the
album is 'Nazar Se Nazar
Mile' which is surprisingly the last to
arrive in the album. In fact this is THE song that
should have opened the campaign for Miley Naa Miley
Hum which turns out to be a fairly good album after
all. A quintessential love song that has all in it
to succeed if promoted aggressively from this point
on, 'Nazar Se Nazar Mile' is the kind of number that
one associated with Nadeem-Shravan in their heydays.
In fact it won't |
|
 |
|
be wrong to say that the song has a similar style
and setting as that of 'Don't Say Alvida' [Main Aurr Mrs
Khanna] which continues to be ever-so-memorable till date.
While Anupama Raag gives a good account of herself with a
fresh new voice, she has someone as experienced as Rahat
Fateh Ali Khan to ensure that the song stays on to be
charming enough. The song is repeated with Wajid and
Abhilasha Chellam joining Anupama Raag and is in fact the
only song that is heard twice (and rightly so).
OVERALL
Miley Naa Miley Hum is a good album that comes with good
variety ranging from a couple of love songs (Nazar Se Nazar
Mile, Haan Yahi Pyaar Hai), dance numbers - both desi (Mahi
Mahi) and videsi (Wake Up Now) and an item track (Katto
Gilehri). It is after a brief hiatus that Sajid-Wajid are
heard again and Miley Naa Miley Hum makes sure that one is
well entertained. |
