Music review: Teen Patti (Hindi – Salim Sulaiman)

Posted by: Karthik In: Hindi OST

Bachchan’s probability mumbo-jumbo sounds silly in an otherwise-enjoyable, Bond’ish Life is a game; fantastic vocals by Sonia Saigal and Anushka! Summertime (George Gershwin’s original used as-is) has corny lyrics, but the zingy pop works instantly, thanks to Joe Alvares’ vocals. The title song is likeable techno-pop with a psychedelic soundscape. Sunidhi is scintillating in the OP Nayyar-meets-Bond theme Neeyat while the boy-band-ballad Intezar by Naresh Kamat is the only odd one out; picks up steam as it goes, but sounds like a bad Luck leftover! Salim Sulaiman drown their tunes in the sound they conceive for the film, but it is still a great listen!

  • This movie is being a big flop. Big b might be surprised by this but truly speaking this was a pakau movie for sure.

    To be honest I don't think there is that much similarity between Dhan te Nan and Pump it, it seems negligible to me.

    I felt the same way about Neeyat and Assassin's Tango, but then I heard the end of the tango and it struck me as very similar to the part where Sunidhi gets louder and the tempo increases.

    Karthik,

    Why do you list Pritam under Itwofs for "Yeh Ishq Kya", but don't list these guys for "Neeyat" (not the main tune) being a copy of Assassin's Tango? Or even Vishal-Shekhar's "Cash" & Vishal Bhardwaj's "Dhan Te Nan" for their arrangements being inspired by BEP's "Pump It"? Why, why, why???

    Does anyone else think the background tune of Neeyat sounds similar to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KGvDnn8xwQ . Also at the fast and loud part of Neeyat sounds like the end of the song I linked.

    Karthik,

    I realized you have mentioned Jimmy & Zohan in trivia # 54. But there is no mention of M.I.A version. M.I.A's album was called Kala (2007), if you wish to dig more on if any of the sources were credited at all.

    As we are talking here of Bollywood songs being ripped off. Here is the M.I.A (paper planes & O saaya from Slumdog) doing the cover version of Jimmy Jimmy (Disco Dancer) which we all know (ofcourse via itwofs) was itself a copy of t'es Ok by Ottawan. She released Jimmy in 2007 and the same was also used in Adam Sandler starrer You Don't Mess with Zohan.
    Here is the link, enjoy.

    This is great. Note to note rip off. I so want to know what Salim-Sulaiman feel about this?? Flattered or aggrieved??

    I saw this song Niyat from Teen Patti and it is super hot! The name of the model is Mariah, she looks amazing in the video and her moves are extremely superb and sensuous. Seems like this dark movie is gonna be quite interesting, got to go watch it!
