Music review: 3 Idiots (Hindi – Shantanu Moitra)

Posted by Karthik


All izz well is no doubt funky and does a 2.0 version of Anu Malik’s pet sound (dhumpachikitha anyone?), but this one-hook-trick can only go so far. Zoobi doobi with its faux-retro-filmy sound is almost pedestrian with extraordinarily predictable sounds, while Shaan’s evocatively penned Behti hawa is perhaps the best this soundtrack has to offer. Give me some sunshine’s thought-provoking dialogs do little to salvage what is a standard, often poorly-sung track. Jaane nahin’s louder portion is the WTF musical equivalent of Parineeta’s Thodo Shekhar – Sonu significantly overdoing the feel! Shantanu does what he usually does, mindless of Aamir’ish expectations!

Keywords: Aamir Khan, Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, Kareena Kapoor, Shantanu Moitra

    I was really excited for this soundtrack, beyond Aamir Khan, because I heard the song “Kaash Yeh Pal” by Jal and it was labelled everywhere online as being from this film.

    Really disappointing that a song I liked that much wasn’t part of it.

    You could very well add another tag ’3 idiot songs’ to your post by the sound of it.. ;)

    Aamir gets another turkey after last year’s mess with Ghajini.

  • Spidey

    You don’t get it.
    This movie wasn’t made keeping in mindless fame.
    All iZZ well is the only promotional track.
    Rest all are situational/background material.

    I wonder how Karthik missed to notice it.

    Overall for listening ,rating 2/5.

    Very boring tracks..

  • sm_spamjammer

    The track “Give Me Some Sunshine”, from the film is heavily inspired by Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”…the intro and the parts in harmonica are unmistakably copied…Plagiarism prevails once again in Bollywood…
