Love Aaj Kal Music Review

Love Aaj Kal Music Review

After the hit score of Jab We Met, director Imtiaz Ali has
collaborated with Pritam yet again for the music
of Saif Ali Khan's production debut Love Aaj Kal. Pritam has left no
stone unturned in creating soulful melodies.

The film that stars Saif and Deepika Padukone has seven originals and
three remixes in the soundtrack.

Aahun aahun, which has an electrifying start with the strumming of the
guitar, is an amalgamation of a hit Punjabi pop song by singer Jazzy B
and the Hindi song composed by Pritam. Sung by Neeraj Shridhar, the
song keeps juggling between the two genres and is very entertaining.
It sets the mood by mixing both Indian and western influences. Aahun
aahun will surely be a hit.

The number also has a remixed version, which will become a favourite
on the DJ consoles.

Up next is a beautiful rendition in Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's voice. Aaj
din chadeyya starts with a small alaap. A romantic song
that is extremely soothing to the ears, Aaj din... strikes a chord
with the listeners. The song has a feel-good factor.

With brilliant vocals by Sunidhi Chauhan and Neeraj Sridhar, the next
song Chor bazari starts with foot-tapping, peppy music. The lyrics are
not the highlight of the song, but the number has the potential to
impress music buffs.

This too has a remixed version, which is quite average.

KK makes his presence felt with fast-paced song Main kya hoon, which
is enhanced by electronic and psychedelic beats.

With the next song Thoda thoda pyar, the Punjabi flavour takes
precedence. Sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, it has a folk touch to it in
places. But it might not go on to become a chartbuster.

Neeraj Sridhar returns with Twist, which is intermingled with the song
Ek pardesi mera dil le gaya from the 1958 film Phagun. It's a dance
number that is high on beats.

The remixed version, however, is better than the original.

Finally we have Mohit Chauhan crooning the song Ye dooriyan. The song
is just about passess muster, but Mohit's vocals are the highlight.

On the whole, Pritam has done a good job with the soundtrack and
created songs that are sure to become hits.
