Grows on you gradually - The Apne Music Review

By Nikhil Kumar
Rating: 2.5/5

The coming together of the three Deols for the first time in a movie is a momentous cinematic event. Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol team up for Anil Sharma directed 'Apne', which has music by Himesh Reshammiya and lyrics by Sameer.

For a change, Anil Sharma has departed from his regular composer Uttam Singh and has roped in Reshammiya instead to compose the tunes of 'Apne'. Although the capped composer is nowhere near his best in 'Apne', he still comes up with some melodies that grow on you after repeated hearings.

Reshammiya himself wields the microphone for the opening number 'Mehfuz', which sounds like a rock concert song. The song's melody has a d�j� vu, heard-it-before feel while Sameer's lyrics are strictly average. Despite the beats and musical arrangement (guitar, violin and sarangi), 'Mehfuz' remains a mediocre composition.

The album also has a remix version of 'Mehfuz' by DJ Akbar Sami who tries to add a punch to the number by giving it a somewhat techno feel.

Things get better with 'Dekhoon Tujhe Toh Pyar Aaye', which has a catchy rhythm. This romantic track with throbbing tempo has Himesh singing once again in a high nasal pitch. Interestingly, female singer Akriti Kakkar manages to bring more romantic emotion in her voice than Reshammiya.

The remix version of 'Dekhoon Tujhe Toh Pyar Aaye' hardly sounds like a romantic number. It is more like a medium paced, lounge version with added beats and sounds added in the edgeways by Akbar Sami.

Melody reigns supreme in the title song 'Apne', which has a flavour of Punjabi folklore and Indian classical blended together. The song is about familial bonding and togetherness. It is a delight to hear Sonu Nigam render this song emotively, while Jaspinder Narula and Jayesh Gandhi give him good company. In a nutshell, 'Apne' is a lilting track that tugs a few strings at heart.

'Ankh Wich Chehra Pyar Da' once again has a strong Punjabi feel to it. But unlike 'Apne', this song is in rock mode with vocals by Himesh Reshammiya, Shaan and Kunal Ganjawala. The song is picturized on the three Deols in the film. The track also has female singer Amrita Kak chipping in between three male voices. What makes 'Ankh Wich Chehra Pyar Da' a mediocre number is absence of a catchy melody. The remix version of this song, by DJ Akhtar infuses no extra vitality into this number.

'Bull's Eye' is a short track. It sounds more like a rehashed version of a tune from some Hollywood movie. The number, sung by Earl and Shaan, has a mix of English and Hindi lyrics.

The album concludes with 'Tere Sang', which begins with the melody from the title track 'Apne'. Reshammiya sheds his characteristic style to make 'Tere Sang' a mellifluous track that derives a lot from traditional Punjabi music. Sonu Nigam and Jaspinder Narula bring the right emotive appeal with their singing.

The music album of 'Apne' sure won't count among Himesh Reshammiya's best works. But it does offer songs like 'Apne' (the title track), 'Tere Sang' and the foot tapping 'Dekhoon Tujhe Toh Pyar Aaye' which grow on you gradually.
