Chance Pe Dance boasts on having a truly young star-cast in form of jelly footed Shahid Kapoor and bubbly(but over acting) Genelia.
This movie is directed by Ken Ghosh and also touted as the biopic of Shahid Kapoor(and he humbly denies that as expected). Chance pe dance is story of a struggling actor Sameer who is willing to work as hard as he needs to achieve his goal, but always prioritizes and puts his loved ones first. Then there comes Tina, the choreographer who not only helps Sameer in fulfill his dreams but also becomes his love interest. Sounds Familiar!
Well lets check the music whether the soundtracks are able to make us dance or not? Opps I forgot to add the icing, there were 4 music directors for this one. Adnan Saami is the official one(on covers) but the album also contains songs composed by Pritam, Ken Ghosh and Sandeep Shirodkar.
- Pe. Pe. Pepein.: The first track is Pe Pe Pepein(totally weird and ridiculous title!) and will remind you of By God(from APKGK) because of the same shehnai tune(Mind you, this time pritam stole his own music so you cant blame him). This one is crooned by non other than Neeraj shredhar and later on Master Saleem joins him along with Hard Kaur who pitches in some hard- core punjabi raps(dunno whether using a right word or not) . Its totally weird but you will hum it along for some time and then it will be forgotten. Ohhh this one has a remixed version too where the speed of the track has been increased and some extra beats have been added to give more dance feeling.
"Dont worry pe glassy Dont worry jo chadhi zara si
Pe ha Pee chal chod udasi Dont worry kar balle shalle
Dont worry Kya rehna kale Zor hilaa de paira thaale
Haa aye Dil tu bhi maar chalanga Is Dolly ka dyaan kare
dil se dil ka taar mile to Khushiyon ka mahaul bane
Pe Pe Pe Peein"
- Pump It Up: The next track is Pump It Up where our famous(?) music director Vishal Dadlani(of Vishal Shekhar duo who was also the vocalist of Mumbai-based band Pentagram) holds the center stage. Besides a heavy dhol and electronic guitar mix there is nothing special about this track but it works well with Shahid's move and that all is its USP."Pump it up!We gona get in on
Na Na NA Hil Jayegi yeh zameen bhi
Yeah! we gona get it on Na Na NA
Na Na NA Na Na NA na na"
This track appears later as as a remixed version which has some extra pace and beats associated to it but over all it remains the same. Will work surely in discs.
- Pal mein hi: Next track Pal Mein Hi is a love ballad crooned beautifully by Soham Chakrabarthy and Shreya Ghoshal. The best thing about this track is beautiful lyrics by Irfaan Siddiqui and free flowing music which have some dance beats associated with it(blame it to the theme of the movie). Sweet soothing song but lacks punch.
"Pal mein hi Mujhko mila Pal naya Kuch mila Haan kuch magar kho gaya Kya kahun Kya nahi Labz hai gum kahin hosh mein dil nahi Tere aa jane se Tere aa jane se Tere aa jane se"
4.One More Dance: Next track starts with some good beats and some new techno vibrations(will give you feel that you are listening to some English track but after 30 sec you will have that i-have-heard-this-before feeling because of the background tune of Nach All Night from Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna(this forced me to check for the music director again and I was surprised to find Adnan's name over there as I was expecting it to be Pritam). This track is crooned by Kunal Ganjawala and he did a good job but there is something missing in this track and its fails to impress. May be work with Shahid's move(as its already a hit among girls mostly due to Shahid's six pack and dance skills).
- Yaba Daba Yahoo: Next track Yaba Daba Yahoo is crooned by Kunal Ganjawala and have a mix of english and hindi https://lyrics. This one is a disco number which will remind you of Zoobi Doobi from 3 Idiots. The best thing about this one was the music arrangment which gives it a retro feel But again it lacks the punch that Zoobi doobi has.(I heard that the movie was first named as Yahoo and so this song was created).
