Jism Music Review

 

  
   Jism - the title says it all !! One need not scratch his head too much to get a fair idea about the basic premise of the movie. Hopefully this flick produced by Pooja Bhatt and Sujit Kumar Singh is shot aesthetically by debutante director Amit Saxena to cater to the sensibilities of the Indian audience. Written by Mahesh Bhatt, Jism has music by born-again M.M. Kreem (who tasted long due super-success with the melodious Sur !!) and lyrics by two new-find immensely talented lyricists Sayeed Quadri and Neelesh Misra. To complement the title, you need a great anatomy and this desire is fulfilled by roping in the dusky siren - Bipasha Basu. John Abraham, who recently made waves with an apple juice drink, makes his debut opposite her. Pooja Bhatt's recent friend-turned-foe Ranvir, a popular Veejay, makes an appearance as well.

The promos of Jism are hitting to say the least. Though aesthetically shot, the track 'Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai' may cause a family audience to ruffle a bit on the couch, primarily due to Bipasha's 'woman-on-top' act. Nothing wrong with the suggestive nature of the song as it may go well with the narration of the basic story line of the movie, but it would have been better if there were some censor guidelines especially for the song promos on the idiot box. Talking about the song in itself, it is a wonderful creation by Kreem who manages to deliver an excellent work of art with the help of lyricist Neelesh Misra and singer Shreya Goshal (singing voice of Ash in Devdas !) There is also a duet for the same composition but with slightly different lyrics. Shaan sings this one in a lot subtle manner. But one is particularly amazed, when one observes Shreya, who sings an erotic, inviting and sensual 'Jaadu Hai' with as much dignity as the naughty 'Bairi Piya' from Devdas. She should be the singer to watch out for !!! Music is titillating and bound to get one in "THE MOOD" !!

"THE MOOD" is continued with 'Chalo Tumko Lekar Chale" - another sensual'n'inviting number by Shreya who reminds of Chitra in this number. M.M. Kreem does a bit of 'LOOK-AT-THIS-ONE' act when he adjusts 'Awaarapan Banjarapan' thrice in the album, that too twice sung by him. Not that he doesn't do a good job !! He does, but this turns out to be a case of something too much as it is not so much like a hot'n'happening number but a haunting sad-sad number about a guy hovering around in his loneliness. K.K, who also sings this number once, too makes an impact. Special mention to Sayeed Quadri for his fresh poetic lyrics which seem to be an outcome of Javed Akhtar's school of poetry. Full marks to everyone associated with this track.

'Mere Khwabon Ka' and 'Shikayat Hai' are from the gazal genre. Excellent rendering by Udit Narayan and Roop Kumar Rathod respectively get them immediately noticed. Lovers of 'class' music will definitely admire these creations from Kreem which are excellent compositions due to their uniqueness.

An absolute original score where the composer has emphasized more on the vocals and the flow of the song rather than going for the heavy duty orchestra. There are no unnecessary long musical pieces in between the stanzas or some heavy duty beats. What is there, is the melody to die for, some soberness and some smooth vocals. An ideal album to be played during a candle night dinner on a roof garden.
