These are definitely the electrifying times for music coming out of Bollywood. Just recently we had Singh Is Kinng with a bang and making a big impression. Now Bachna Ae Haseeno, too, has created a huge splatter all over. This one is a solid winner from the word goes and would range greater heights over the weeks to come.

Shilpa Rao gets a big break with Khuda Jaane where she pairs up with the man of all seasons, KK. Unlike Pritam, who always ropes in KK for at least one song in each of his albums, the duo Vishal-Shekhar have believed in using him sparsely and asking him to come behind the mike only in case of something exceptional. Well, Khuda Jaane is indeed an exceptional song and, though it may seem quite good in the first couple of listening, it takes a brilliant turn once you have heard a few more times.

A core Indian melody that has its beauty lying at the point where KK gets into a high pitch. Khuda Jaane is a number that is an instant chartbuster material. Also notable is the way Shilpa compliments her co-singer with her unique voice that sets her apart from her colleagues. A exciting number that has a lot going for it in it’s ‘revisited remix version’ by Abhijeet Nalani, which takes the number from tranquil islands to a upmarket discotheque, Khuda Jaane is a winner for the real and reel life couple of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone on whom the song has been picturised.

Lucky Boy is a club track that is exceptional in the way Sunidhi Chauhan and Raja Hassan . While Raja provides a Punjabi folk feel to the number, Lucky Boy inherently stays on to be a club track with Bipasha Basu radiating all the liveliness. This is one track that has a distinct Vishal-Shekhar feel to it and if you have liked the kind of sound which was heard in Mind Blowing Maahiya, then you will like Lucky Boy because it has a much more classy feel to it.

Yet another club number, though with an added zing and punch, comes in the form of Aahista Aahista from singers like Lucky Ali and Shreya Ghoshal. Well, this one has its own calm feel to it but it’s the way the number has been orchestrated makes all the difference.

Lastly comes the trump card of the album. The first of its kind attempt in a Bollywood song, an original number has been fused with a current sound. Years back Bachna Ae Haseeno was a superb number that saw the coming together of RD Burman, Kishore Kumar and Majrooh Sultanpuri. Well, Vishal-Shekhar adds much more and roped in Kishore Kumar’s son Sumit Kumar to sing his own version.

Bachna Ae Haseeno is the ‘paisa-vasool‘ moment of the album as the fusion is truly flawless and makes one just put on the number in a repeat mode and forget about the rest. Vishal Dadlani writes and sings the rap that compliments the mood of the song and makes Bachna Ae Haseeno a number which by itself would guarantee a great opening for the film when it arrives on 15th August!
