Koi Mil Gaya Music
Review
A superstar - who
rose to stardom in a flash and is now trying to
strenghten his stranglehold in the tinseltown !!
A charming queen - who is true to her name !!
A music director - who has always delivered his
best when it comes to the family !!
A master director - who may get a flak by
critics but hailed by the masses !!
A team - that has delivered one of the biggest
hits of all times !!
Theme - Supposed to be the first of it's kind on
this side of the planet !!
Result - ROARING EXPECTATIONS !!
Yes, this is what Koi..Mil Gaya is all about. The title itself is
flattering to say the least. Though it may
convey the sense of a love story for the
starters, the depth of the title says something
else only - about EXTRA TEERESTRIALS (ETs) !! A
first of it's kind in India, it has Hrithik
Roshan essaying the role of a guy who has a mind
of a 10 year old kid - clever, naughty and a
prankster. Preity Zinta plays the girl in whom
she confides whereas Rekha plays his mother.
Rakesh Roshan,the director, too makes an
appearance in a brief cameo in KMG that has
music by Rajesh Roshan and has maximum numbers
written by Ibrahim Ashq. Nasir Faraaz and Dev
Kohli too pitch in with a number each.
OK, so the movie is about ETs. But then can we
have a love story kept at the backside. Never !!
So the album begins with a romantic title number
- 'Koi Mil Gaya'. Chitra, who is on a high afer
'Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon' does well in this
number as well which is her duet with Udit
Narayan. Very well worded by Ibrahim Ashq, it
has a very simple tune and is immediately
catchy. In fact the highlight of most of the
tracks in KMG is the simplicity in their
compositions !! Very simple words (which come so
very easily on you) and smooth music (with no
shor-sharaaba !!) And this is what makes KMG
interesting. The second number 'Idhar Gaya Main
Udhar Gaya' by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik is a
very pleasing number and is the best example of
this simplicity. Hummable from the word GO !!,
it should be extremely popular amongst the
children, mainly because of Hrithik's antics in
the number. Preity looks charming in her
slim'ntrim avtaar and she is one heroine on whom
short dresses do not vulgar !!
A kid's number 'Jadoo' is again very pleasant to say the least. Not a
hardcore kid's number as was the case with the
tracks from J2M2, it is again sung by the duo of
Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik. The number is a
Rajesh Roshan number all the way, as you can so
easily make out from the initial notes itself. A
good number, it should gain popularity with the
movie. The number is repeated again with this
time Adnan Sami in the lead along with Alka. As
is the trend, there is also a instrumental for
the theme but due to it's short duration, there
is not much impression !!
'It's magic' sung by Taz (Stereo Nation) is a
number for Hrithik's fans !! Most probably a
number picturised on Hrithik once he is out of
his kid persona and behaves his age (and becomes
a dashing Hrithik, as we know him !!) It goes
with his image and though not very different or
great, it plays to the gallery!! With 'En
Panchiyon', Rajesh Roshan goes back to where he
is best at - churning melodies !! Written by
Nasir Faraaz, it is again good to hear to and
does well. Shaan continues with his excellent
run and Kavita Krishnamurthy and baby Sneha give
him ample support.
After all these simple songs, the album ends
with a typical Bollywood number 'Haila Haila' by
Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik. Written by Dev
Kohli, it seems to be a jhatak-matak sensual
number between the lead pair and is aimed mainly
at the masses. Though good, it gives a strange
feeling because the other songs in the album are
pretty sophisticated and simple in their
approach.
In all, the music of KMG doesn't disappoint. Though we may not be able to
compare it's music with the earlier - Kaho Naa
Pyaar Hai - by the same team, it has it's share
of plus points going in it's favour.
There have been quite a few good albums in past
few days - Chalte Chalte, MPKDH, Saaya, Darna
Mana Hai.
KMG adds to this list.
