Sonic jhoom - The Kismat Konnection Music Review

By N K Deoshi
Rating: 3/5

Pritam, so often accused of being more than legitimately inspired from compositions of others, comes up with a pretty hearable score in 'Kismat Konnection'. Listening to the songs a couple of times gave me the impression that perhaps half of 'Kismat Konnection', if not more, is set in some discotheque.

From what I know, the film's story is set in Toronto and stars Shahid Kapur as a struggling architect while Vidya Balan plays his lucky charm that turns his phooti Kismat around.

The music album of the film has five supposedly original compositions. Three of which are full-on dance tracks with their obligatory, pepped-up remixes. Only two tracks give the impression that the movie is a love story. One of these romantic tracks has Atif Aslam while the other has Mohit Chauhan of 'Silk Route'.

Singer Neeraj Shridhar tries to take you �higher� at the very start of the album with his 'Aai Paapi (Tu Hai Meri Soniye)', which, to be honest, is quite a likeable dance track with some rap interludes.

After some hopping and skipping it's time to settle down for a romantic track with Atif Aslam and Alka Yagnik with 'Bakhuda Tumhi Ho', which almost begins like a U2 song with that characteristic Edge in the guitar. But when a chorus of girls goes �Tumhi Saanson Mein� with their pretentious mushiness, you know it's a regulation Bollywood track that's been given some soul by singer Atif Aslam who pours his heart out, but at times also grates on your nerves with his high-pitched hollering. Alka Yagnik's mellow voice stands out in sharp and delectable contrast to Atif's.

Shaan, whose voice suits mellow and melodramatic songs, tries the impossible (successfully to some extent) in 'Move Your Body Now' with Hard Kaur and Akruti Kakkar. The song is a beat-packed dance number with oodles of attitude from the spunky Hard Kaur. The lyrics are banal, but in a funny way. Check this : �Sadde naal karle party, kudi tu lagti hai naughty, pheeki pheeki raat ho gayi.� But not a pheeki track, this one.

Presuming that this song might become a rage among party animals, the makers decided to add another similar version of the song with singer Adeel instead of Shaan. Even as I was scratching my head trying to figure out the rhyme or reason for keeping this almost identical track, I spotted a remix version of the same track a little later.

Anyway, looking forward (rather hearing forward) to the brighter side, the album veers again into a romantic mood with the languidly-paced 'Is This Love' that has a very catchy riff on guitar and fine vocals by Mohit Chauhan and Shreya Ghosal.

The real spoiler in the album is saved for the last - 'Soniye Ve (Dhak Dhak Dhak)'. Though the song has a powerful start with dhols and synthesizers fusing together to lay foundation for a foot-savvy bhangra track, the thrill is gone when you hear the words, which does not prompt you for a no-holds-barred jig. Rather, it's the song of a guy trying to woo his girl. A thud thud thud track, this one.

All in all, barring a few glitches, KK is a decent album with some good dance and romance tracks and their sonically glossed up versions.
