Mujhse Dosti
Keroge Music
Review
The tradition continues.....candy
floss love stories from the house of Yash Chopra
continue with Mujhse Dosti Karoge after the
super-success of Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai. After
Khalid Mohammad (Fiza), another film critic
makes his debut as a director - Kunal Kohli. The
same Kunal Kohli who anchored the popular Box
Office show Chalo Cinema and was the director of
the videos for the Rajshri album - Yeh Hai Prem.
Remember 'Chui Mui Si Tum Lagti Ho' ?
MDK has the yuppy starcast of Hrithik, Rani
Mukherji and Kareena Kapoor as Raj, Pooja and
Tina. This has probably the last work of late
Anand Bakshi saab and once again you feel that
why is he considered a legend. Rahul Sharma
makes his debut as a music composer and proves
once again that music of Yashraj banner always
has that 'something extra' when it comes to
composing melodies. We missed Lataji in MYKSH -
didn't we? Well there is a good news for all her
fans - she features in four numbers out here in
MDK.
'Jaane Dil Mein' is one of those melodies that
has the fragrance of the 70's. A beautiful
number by Lataji and Sonu Nigam, composed in a
wonderful way. Listen to it once and you will be
hooked it for days. Surprise of the song is Sonu
Nigam who must have really worked on this number
to sound more mature instead of the usual zippy
way he normally sings. He is a bit subdued in
this number and the effort really pays. A tune
that should certainly find it's way in the
background score of the movie. A slow version of
the same number features with the same artists
and is good as well. 'Andekhi Anjani' has all
that is needed for a number to be chart-buster.
Another 'sweet-n-sugary' recipe from the house
of Chopras which is shot in the mandatory Swiss
locales and sung by Lataji. Udit Narayan gives
her company in this duet and does his job as
reliably as always. The song is about the lead
players dreaming of their partner whom they will
be meeting soon. Everything is near perfect in
this number and the song is bound to be on the
top of the charts soon.
'Saanwali Si Ek Ladki' by Udit Narayan seems to
be dedicated to Rani and is a regular mushy
senti number. Nothing great about it, nothing
new about it - but still one never knows how a
choreographer and the cinematographer may do
wonders even to an average number. 'Oh my
darling' seems to be designed especially for the
combo of Kareena and Hrithik after the
popularity of K3G numbers - 'You are my Sonia'
and 'Deewana Hai Dekho'. It is a naughty number
where both the lead players are pulling each
other's leg about being the Y2K+2 generation guy
and a girl. A number that should help pulling in
teeny beepy crowds to the theatres.
'Terrific Tina' is a hep, fast and happening
instrumental and as the title suggests, is all
about Tina i.e. Kareena Kapoor. It would
probably feature in the introduction scene of
Kareena Kapoor. An exciting medley of mostly
yesteryear numbers of Lata ji also adds to the
value of this album. Though this medley by
Lataji, Udit Narayan, Sonu Nigam and Pamela
Chopra really becomes a bit too long towards the
end, you may still not mind as the numbers
featured take you to the golden era of hindi
film songs. The title song by Ashaji, Alka
Yagnik and Udit Narayan leaves no doubts in mind
that one has to go for Mujhse Dosti Karoge. A
traditional Yash Chopra number, it is melodious.
It haunts, it excites and it entertains.
Rahul Sharma does a superb job in churning out a
number of melodies in one single package.
Probably the best score after Dil To Paagal Hai
surpassing even Mohabbatein and Mere Yaar Ki
Shaadi Hai, this album will be fast disappearing
from the music store racks. Go for it before you
miss out even the final copy of the day !!!
