Peppy and Perky - The Dostana Music Review

By Usha Lakra
Rating: 3/5

'Dostana' is a much awaited film of the year from the camp of Karan Johar, directed by Tarun Mansukhani.

The film starring Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra appears to be a romantic comedy for youngsters and so is its music. The movie's songs are created by Vishal-Shekhar and the duo has rendered some really fine tunes. Lyrics are penned by Anvita Dutt Guptan and Kumar.

The album kicks off with 'Desi Girl' - a hip-hop cum bhangra number sung well by Shankar Mahadevan, Sunidhi Chauhan and Vishal Dadlani. This song is a very peppy one with good beats, which can make you tap your feet. A good offering for the coming marriage season.

The next song is the popular title track 'Jane Kyun'. The song again is very rhythmic with good blend of hinglish lyrics with a lovely tune. And Vishal Dadlani will leave you pleasantly shocked for singing the song in such a style. So good is Vishal that you might think that Shankar Mahadevan or Shaan has sung this song. This track is a plus point in the album and used extensively for promotion.

'Khabar Nahi' comes next and is vocalized by Sa Re Ga Ma Pa contestant Amanat Ali along with Shreya Ghosal and Vishal Dadlani. And those who have heard Amanat can say that he has done justice to the song which starts quite a lot like ' Mitwa' from 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna'. The song is a nice blend of Sufi and Bollywood kinda music. The track indeed is thus one of the best in the album.

The track after 'Khabar Nahi' is a slow romantic number 'Kuch Kam' in the voice of Shaan. This track is somewhat like 'Hey Shona' from 'Tara Rum Pum'. The song starts with the humming and continues its melodious march with heartfelt lyrics. Shaan is natural in singing such a song and he renders it in his typical way.

Another Punjabi number in the album is 'Maa Da Laadla', which seems a situational track. It's an ordinary, loud song, with a very different prelude, which can remind you of Crazy frog. The singer Saleem gets to render the number and he does that with a great enthusiastic fervor.

Last comes the song 'Shut up and Bounce', a party song which gives you the feeling of Shut Up and Dance. Sunidhi Chauhan, master in singing these kinds of songs, has given her vocals to it, making it a pacy, peppy and a perky number.

On the whole, the album features some of the nicest groovy numbers for this festive season. But somewhere, the main title 'Dostana' is missing from the songs. The feeling of companionship which was strongly felt from the songs of yesteryears superhit 'Dostana' is not there in the 2008 release 'Dostana'.

Dostana Reviews
Movie Review : Rocks and Shocks (3/5) 'Dostana' rocks when it's funny. But it shocks when you see a nicely developed plot lose its substance and become just a bland and emotionless tale of friendship and love in the second half.You have to have a slightly cheeky sense of humour to like a film like Dostana , which is...
