Chak de India (Hindi, Salim Sulaiman)

Is the title song supposed to be a rousing anthem? The spinning rhythms and the prominent hook definitely help, but its a tad predictable for its ambitions. Hema Sardesai resurfaces in the middling Badal pe, which sounds like early Rock Machine! Despite the conversational tone, Ek hockey is solid fun while Anushka’s Bad bad girls is enjoyable too, in a 90s, pop’ish way. The composers tread their Dor path again with Maula mere, a very tuneful, S.D.Burman’esque track that works great thanks to Krishna and Salim’s vocals. Salim Sulaiman continue their innovatively original streak despite minor shortcomings here!

Keywords: Shimit Amit, Jaideep Saini, Shah Rukh Khan, Salim Merchant, Sulaiman, Vidya Malvade, Aditya Chopra

‘Nadeem-Shravan’esque’, ‘S.D.Burman’esque’, ’90s, pop’ish way’… kudos! Viva l’Hinglish! Loved the ‘nasal twang singing’ keyword too :P

Isn’t ‘Maula Mere’ mildly similar to ‘Laakad’ at places?

‘Badal Pe’ & ‘Bad Bad Girls’ are very peppy!

My Bad! The similarity is mostly limited to the opening line.

Love the antara in fact, especially the ‘Teri Sang Kheli Holi..’ line!

As I’ve said before, Krishna is a great singer who, like Zubeen a few years ago, needs a charbuster for people to recognise his talents. “Maula Mere” won’t be it, but it’s a nice track.

Great job by S-S.
With S-E-L going through a predictable rut movie after movie, and Pritam running out of songs to copy, S-S with CDI and V-S with Cash looks next best to AR, HR and Vishal Bharadwaj.

  • viraajan: Karthik, I wish to see your review on any of D.Imman's forthcoming album who is in par with SD's standards :)
  • Arun: There's also Bombay and Kolkata as part of the series. Definitely, a commendable effort by Saregama!
