Bachna Ae Haseeno (Hindi, Vishal Shekhar)

Posted by Karthik

KK and Shilpa Rao complement each other beautifully in Khuda jaane – a sweeping melody accentuated by excellent chorus, while Lucky boy, follows a predictable tune, but with a catchy rhythm that works. With Jesse Cook-like guitar and Khuda hafiz’ish tune (Lucky Ali factor?), Ahista ahista too is interesting. Shekhar’s voice differentiates the otherwise trademark Yashraj, Jogi mahi. Small town girl sounds more like the trio’s music – Shankar building on the addictive hook quite well. The everlasting title song’s remix is a punchy new avatar with zingy rap intrusions by Vishal. A step behind De taali, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Keywords: Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Minissha Lamba, Bipasha Basu

  • pman

    The keywords should have been : Panchamda, Vishal Shekhar, Salim Sulaiman, Monty Sharma and S-E-L. Amazing synergies between contempary musicians.

  • Rishi

    Shilpa Rao is an amazing singer – she really needs to be singing more songs.

  • Karthik

    Completely, completely agree! Love her voice!

  • Rana

    Vishal shekar have lifted music… in the movie I se you… but Karthik is refusing to put it there…

  • tejas

    I hear the similarities, but not to an extent to calling it blatant copy. Inspiration yes, copy – close. Plus it is possible that Karthik is checking with V-S about the similarity. :)

  • Karthik

    Nah, the similarities are genre-led, nothing direct. There’s a hum in both and VS have changed it considerably. There’s a whistle – again changed. So, its the genre and the kind of music that has been adapted – adapted enough not to call it a copy.

  • Karthik

    I’m completely addicted to Ahista ahista and Khuda jaane!

  • Arun

    I’m hooked to the spunky title song! Boy, It rocks!

  • pman

    I love the entire album.Khuda jaane, ahista ahista and the title song are really addtictive.

  • pman

    Great interview of Vishal Dadlani on the music of the film.

    I wish all the interviwers were so detailed and knowledagble.

  • tejas

    I find myself musically absolutely overwhelmed! Bachna ae.., Rock On, Kismat Konnection and Singh is Kinng!! This year has been amazing so far, with Race, Tashan, Aamir, Jodhaa Akbar, JTYJN to name a few from the first half. There were always one or two songs from Ugly aur Pagly, Ada etc..

    And still we are expecting one or two more Rahman albums in this year..it’s going to be a crazy year and more than a small pinch on the pocket – all for good reasons! :)

    [And don't consider it bragging - but I hardly get chance to listen to new Tiesto, Armin and ColdPlay albums because Hindi OSTs take up most of my time! :) ]

  • Arun

    ^^ Agree completely! This has been a great musical year thus far.

  • jaydeep

    Yup a great year so far with music and this one yet another good album by VS. Title track is very smart take of the original. Its evident from Vishal’s interview how much they adore Panchamda and they couldn’t have kept their awe for the master any more real than this.
    Khuda jaane and ahista ahista are great. I was hoping kartik to call khuda jaane part of the song very Pritamish. I guess choice of KK makes it even more Pritamish. Lucky boy, small town girl are pretty entertaining too.
    Overall a good one from VS.

  • tejas

    Nah..to make ‘Khuda Jaane’ sound Pritamish, one needs to add that ‘Oho hooo…ho hoo…’ kind of ‘alaap’ in a song, a-la Zara Sa, Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai and Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai…which is missing here. ;)

  • arun_verma

    Good interview there! However a coupla things .. “Main shayar to nahin” is not by panchamda (perhaps interviewers interpretation and not VS’s comment) but VS go on to say kishoreda had that slight imperfection which was emotionally true? I can’t place what they are talking about ..Kishoreda never went besura .. he was perfect .. shailendra singh in those two songs they mention does go besura and so does amit kumar in many of his songs from 80s.. But never Kishoreda – were VS referring to some other imperfection (e.g. over-simplification of hard to sing/classical segments in a song by Kishorda)…if they were hinting Kishoreda went besura sometimes, they are way off!!!

  • tejas

    Karthik – there will be some provision to remove all these illegal mp3 download ads, right? :)

  • gokulpai

    Well done V-S.. [3.5/5]

  • PonzIe

    The way aesthetic Lucky Ali arranges the word ‘Dil’ into expressions throughout ‘Ahista’ proves the track is ascertained with ease and humming sound. Number is subject to top the charts.
    This apart, Khuda jaane with precisely accurate finish is a must in box. Relief from Club mixes.
