MUSIC REVIEW
'' KAANTE''………A TOUCH OF GLOSS
Its celebration time for music lovers. Just get ready for sixty six minutes of non-stop fantastically funky music freaking out with
the twelve tracks of different moods and colours.
''Kaante'' is the latest flick captained by the self-proclaimed tech savvy director Sanjay Gupta , who , unfortunately doesnt have a hit to his credit. Here , as luck would have it, he is equipped
with an enviable casting coup roping in the current stalwarts of mumbai fantasy world. Secondly, the musical score by Anand Raj Anand,( catering to lyrics too) Vishal , Shekhar and Lucky Ali has already hit the bulls eye.
To be fair enough , the performance deliberately rides the current wave of fast , yuppy and funky music. It is a perfect specimen of listeners
paradise. Going deep down, the music show is all about money , more money , greed , avarice and lethal desires. It is all about determination,detachments , defection and dejection. The richness in symbolizing the above traits has lifted the face value of the movie to the skies.
The curtains are up with 'Ishq Samander'' , a foot tapping breezy knock expertly performed by Sunidhi Chouhan ---- strictly sticking to her nasal chord . She is ably assisted by high pitched specialist Sukhwinder singh. ''Baby Baby'' the other track sung by the lady , is a perfect paradigm of a typical channel V music. You just love / hate / fake /
rebuke / enjoy it as long as it lasts.
Touchwood , ''Rama Re'' reigns supreme over all the tracks. The baseline is a straight take-off from Nadeem Shravans archives . Flashing up in three parts , it is indeed a radiant composition made up of lush orchestrals , metallic beats and some excellent singing by Shaan , Zubin , Anand Raj Anand and Sudesh Bhonsle. ''Soch na Tha'' an off-shoot is the most effective score performed with utmost
sincerity by Shaan and Zubin . The use of the Spanish guitar and matchless beats make it a masterpiece.
''Maahi Re'' , the no. by Sukhwinder and Richa Sharma has a thumping Punjabi punch , quite pleasing and heart rendering.
''Chod na re'' (popping up twice ) , devoid of melody , is an orgy of prose and racy beats . A Vishal's special , strictly played to the galleries , could be a chartbuster if the film works.
''Dil Kya Kare'' ( a double treat) is a suave and silky track adequately revdered by Sanu and Kavita .
''Yaar Maagiyasi'' is the only odd man out of the zingy score. Sonu Nigam as a matter of habit , is outstanding. This multi linguial product reminds us back to the era of great Mohd. Rafi. Though the interludes by the lady are inspired by AR Rehman archives.
Now some lowdowns and glitches. 'Maut'' an out and out Lucky Ali''s baby is a black spot in the album. The composer who is normally soft in voice and guitar has completely missed the bus, messing up
the track. An absolute no! no! there is no symmetry between singing and the music. Stictly avoidable.
Again, Sunidhi Chouhan who has already proved her mettle with her intoxicating high pitched vocal chord has to come out of her shell else she will have no option but to average out with the likes of Jaspinder Narula and Poornima.
Enjoy!
