Agent Vinod Music Review
Apr 05, 2012 11:50 AM 6957 Views

Well, there are no points for guessing that the talk of the town at this point of time is Saif Ali Khan’s upcoming action spy thriller Agent Vinod. Saif Ali Khan’s home production Agent Vinod has been filming and in post production for what seems like time immemorial, but is now finally heading towards D-day which is set as March 23rd. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, who has earlier given us intriguing movies like Johnny Gaddaar and Ek Hasina Thi. The movie will star Saif Ali Khan and his real life girl Kareena Kapoor in the lead. The music of the film has already spread like wildfire among the masses. Pritam has composed the music of the movie.


The album kick starts with the official remake of the Euro pop classic ‘Rasputin’ by Bonny M, titled I’ll Do the Talking Tonight. The original is a pop track fit for its era(released first in 1978) however Pritam has reprised the song as a completely techno version of the former. It brings out a range of singers in the form of Aditi Singh Sharma, Shefali Alvaris and Barbie Amod, where Neeraj Sridhar's leads this crazy singing bandwagon with his style of Indi-pop singing. It's'remix' version is vigorously boisterous in haughty drumming and slick DJ antics, a well crafted grooving version in a typical'club-disco' to enthrall disco fanatics on the dance floor.


Nandini Shrikar of ‘Bhare Naina’ fame enters next with the much talked about mujra number Dil Mera Muft Ka. The song is definitely not old school Mujra but has a fresh and unique touch to it. The vocals are enthralling; all credit goes to Nandini Shrikar’s vocals and Pritam’s composition.


Raabta(Siyaah Raatein) is a melodious track from the album. Sung by Arijit and Joy, Amitabh Bhattacharya also penned quite interesting & intriguing lyrics for this one. The song is a lovable melody that is quintessentially romantic in mood and comes out in varied singing talents.


If you thought the original was not poignant enough for your taste change over to the Night In A Motel version of the same track which gives you an unplugged feel and beyond doubt will swirl up your romantic side. There’s also a solo male version with Arijit Singh, which is equally striking.


Dedicated to all you Shreya Ghosal fans, Pritam has included a Shreya Ghosal version of the song ‘Raabta’in the album.


Next up is the comical number Pungi with Mika Singh on the vocals. The lyrics are hilariously amusing penned down by none other than Amitabh Bhattacharya. This is one of those tracks which will be a rage with the youth.


Agent Vinod Theme is next on the album. Probably this one would be heard more than any other song in the film as it is incessantly played throughout the movie, thus building up the suspense and anxiety.


On the whole the album oozes with zest and vigor and is a perfect match for an action packed spy thriller like Agent Vinod. Hopefully, akin to the music of the film, Agent Vinod will definitely rake in moolah.

Agent Vinod - Music review
Feb 28, 2012 06:48 PM 22870 Views

Anything he gets associated with gets a lot of attention and rightfully so. As much as I was excited to see the teasers of Agent Vinod, I almost took it for granted that the music would be just a fixture and not a main attraction in the film(because let's face it, 'Action' film mein music ka kya kaam?).We all remember how the music of action films has been marketed since time immemorial.'Original dialogues with 4 songs' was a common byline in the audio cassettes of action films. Anyway, moving on. So I presumed, music would be below average.


Boy was I wrong or what?(Yes, 2 question marks!)


I will do the talking - Yes, the ‘Rasputin’ wala gana! It isn’t a subtle inspired song but quite a bold copy of the song. No worries on that(It’s Pritam.come on!). Beats are neat and the accordion in between gives it a solid feel. The rap is hopeless in between and Neeraj Sridhar plays to the gallery(Can someone stop using Punjabi? No? Ok! just asked). According to me, the weakest song of the album.


Raabta - Ok this song has too many versions(not that I am complaning!) and all the versions are equally good. You can’t help but feel this song has a good amount of ‘Ti Amo’ hangover, in a good way. Arijit Singh, Aditi singh sharma & Hamsika and joy have infused so much freshness in their respective versions that you will be in a quandry to put your finger to the most melodious amongst them all! The version by Shreya Ghosal is the most ‘Bollywood-ish’ amongst all and to me, it pales in comparison with the other versions.


The remixes


Anyway.the remix of ‘I will do the talking’ is routine and nothing exciting but am sure these factors aren’t important when any song is played on a dance floor. Could be a hit with the DJ’s, you never know! The Pungi remix ‘performed’(not sung.performed) by Mika Singh, Amitabh Bhattacharya, Nakash & Pritam is again very routine and very ‘bollywood remix’ sort of presentation. I was looking forward to the remix of this song in the hope of getting some extra smart https://lyrics.sadly I got nothing.


Anyway, Pritam scores a boundary with this album The film appears to be fast paced and listening to the songs, you get a feeling that the same will not stall the same. Good! Very Good!


As Sukanya verma(of rediff.com) pointed out when we were discussing the music of kahaani.It’s better if a film’s OST compliments the movie and not overshadows it by being a ‘super duper stand alone music album’ and that’s the reason I like this album. very much. The OST smells of an action packed FAAAADU movie!
