RATING: 8 Anu Malik has been on cloud nine ever since he won this year's National Award for his compositions in J.P. Dutta's war drama “Refugee”.
Objectively speaking, Anu - once (and still?) infamous for lifting tunes from here and there - has shown a commendable variety, and (surprisingly) originality too, in his recent compositions.
His score for Satish Kaushik-directed Mujhe Kuchh Kehna Hai (starring Tusshar Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor) is catchy and full of pelvic savvy numbers that will particularly appeal to young people.
The album opener “Maine Koi Jaadoo Nahin Kiya” bears a stark resemblance to the composer's early track “Piya Piya” from Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega. Preeti-Pinky sisters (the same singers who sang “Piya Piya”) render the song in full spirit. Alka Yagnik's adeptness as a singer is apparent in “Jabse Dekha Hai” (both versions), a lilting number that tugs a few strings at heart. Only Babul Supriyo's chocolaty voice sticks out like a sore thumb.
The familiar-sounding “Rabba Mere Rabba” is a foot-stomping number with a liberal dose of techno gadgetry thrown in by the composer. Malik has tried to lend a sufiana touch to the song but with little success. The title song “Mujhe Kuchh..” is too slushy and has quite unimaginative melody. It has Indipopper KK hollering Sameer's trite lyrics on the top of his lungs dumbly without much of voice manipulation. KK, however, renders “Pyar Re”, a foot-tapping number, with gusto and bringing about right intonation at places.
Another pelvic savvy number “Dupatta” is among the highlights of the package. Although singer Anuradha Sriram sounds a bit shrill when she goes to higher pitches, her voice inflection and some good percussion by the composer make it a song to reckon. And the closing number the Sonu Nigam rendered “Guncha Hai Gul Hai” is disappointing and passes muster.
