Billu Barber is the latest flick straight from the queen Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment banner. Yes it’s Gauri Khan. Billu Barber stars Irrfan Khan, Lara Dutta and features Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone. The music has been composed by Pritam. Here is the music review!
The soundtrack begins with Marjaani. The track is a typical Pritam track featuring hey-I’ve-heard-this-tune like feeling. The song’s video features Shah Rukh and Kareena dancing all the way to glory foolishly. Just for the sake of creating something catchy they have abused the very meaning of music. The lyrics, ‘Marjaani Marjaani…khasma nu khae marjaani..’ aren’t exactly articulate. Mr. Gulzar you need to retire.
Love Mera Hit Hit
Talk about catchy numbers and here’s another one thrown at music listeners. Neeraj Shridhar’s voice to me is like hey-buy-this-music kind. This track features Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan who try to re-create that OSO chemistry on screen once again. They failed miserably! The video is as pathetic as this song. Two miserable opening tracks from an album I was anticipating about.
You Got Me Rocking and Reeling
The next track features Neeraj Shridhar along with lyrics by Sayeed Quadri. Finally a song worth tuning in to. Decent music along with lyrics that go along smoothly with the music. This is one of my favorite tracks in the soundtrack. This song will surely catch on. The video stars Priyanka Chopra along with Shah Rukh Khan. Whoa! Three chicks in a row!
Ae Aa O
This next track is more of a commercial on Shah Rukh Khan. KK’s voice stands out throughout the noisy music on lyrics by Neeraj Shridhar. You’ll need to grab a Disprin tablet to go through this track. A shitty track.
Jaoon Kahaan
Somehow they realized the soundtrack was getting into a fuss and in comes Rahat Fateh Ali Khan to the rescue. A decent track but there’s nothing to like in this track. A slow melody along with a sad feeling. I’m done with sad songs.
Billoo Bhayankar
Down with the sadness. In comes the fun! Billoo Bhayankar is a fun track on the protagonist in the movie. A fun song you’ll love to hum along!
Khudaya Khair
One crazy soundtrack. Khudaya Khair is another attempt to save the soundtrack. A decent track to say the least. Pritam is one music composer I must avoid at all cost. Gulzar seems to have lost that majestic touch that once reflected from his lyrics.
The soundtrack also comprises of 8 remixes that are not even worth mentioning. This review has driven me nuts and I’m so mad right now, I feel like throwing this CD away. Screw you Pritam! Screw the hype on this flick!
