Jaal Music
Review
Poor - that is what music score of Jaal
stands for !!
Sad - this is what a listener's state of mind is
after hearing to Jaal !!!
Confused - the reviewer who is amazed with the
remarkable range of Anand Raaj Anand who can
compose a Kaante or a Gunaah or a Sandhya, but
also a Jaal !!!
Worried - the music industry should be with
albums like this hitting the stores !!!
Ideally this sums up the review, but
professional compulsions force one to write in
detail about each song. So here we go !!!
Jaal (and if we didn't know what Jaal means, it
is suffixed with - THE TRAP) is an action movie
produced by Vinod Shah and Harish Shah. Directed
by action movies specialist Guddu Dhanoa (famous
for his hundreds of cars exploding in the
skies), JTP has music by ARA and lyrics by both
Sameer and ARA. Tabu pairs up with Sunny Deol in
an action movie again after Himmat, Jeet and Maa
Tujhe Salaam whereas Raima Sen plays the second
lead -Raima Sen who has given a superhit Tamil
movie 'Minnale' (later remade as RHTDM with Diya
Mirza) and a super-flop Hum Ho Gaye Aapke.
As it may be some kind of diktat that the
distributors may be forcing on all the producers
of a Sunny Deol starrer, even JTP has a
deshbhakti song/bhangra/or whatever in the shape
of 'Indian Indian Sher Dil Indian' by ARA
himself. Pleeeeease, but for swarg's sake, we
had enough of all this patriotic fare in songs
coming with Gadar, Maa Tujhe Salaam, Bhaarat
Bhagya Vidhaata, TLOBS, Shaheed, Ek Hindustaani
and some more. A typical deshbhakti composition,
it offers nothing great and just passes on.
Romantic numbers do no better with some
painfully slow tracks like 'Jo Pyaar Tumne' and
'Humsafar Ke Liye'. One is especially shocked to
hear Tabu rendering something which sounds like
'I Love You' towards the end of 'Humsafar Ke
Liye' in a screaming tone. Mainly sung by Alka
Yagnik, you can just skip this one to avoid an
embarrassment to yourself on hearing Tabu. 'Jo
Pyaar Tumne' is an attempt to be an icy cold
number in the Swiss alps. Sung by Chitra and KK,
it tries to be another 'Ye Hasi Wadiyaan' from
Roja, but just FAILS.
'Pehla Pehla Pyaar' has Kumar Sanu crooning
sentiments of a person who had had his first
love. Well, but for how many more years will our
macho Sunny papaji keep on encountering his
first love. Though the composition is just about
OK, one won't miss the song of the century if he
avoids this one. Newcomer Saswati Phukan teams
up with Udit Narayan in 'Ek Ladki Bas Gayi Mere
Mann Mein'. An average number by all means,
there isn't anything great about this
composition too. The number tries to be
melodious but just doesn't impress. Well, Sunny
Deol is here so there should be a bhangra track
too. This resurfaces through 'Sona Sona Soniye'
by Udit Narayan.
Let's see if some sets/choreography/picturisation
do something for this track.....warna to... !!??
In nutshell - AVOID IT !!
