Film: Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
Composer: Jeet Ganguly
Playback Singer: Shreya Ghoshal
Farah Khan's debut film with Boman Irani Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi has released its music!
Here's the trailer for the film:
I'm sure this film can be compared to many Hollywood films, but it does seem like it may be a little entertaining! I'm not sure if Farah will be a good actress, but she is a dancer, so she should be able to do the facial expressions right! (hopefully). This music album is composed by Jeet Ganguly (who last composed in Blood Money) so let's see what he has in store for the unique 40-45 year old characters in the film! You can listen to the songs on the Bollywood Hungama jukebox here.
Ishq Mein Tere Bina: This songs starts out with a Latin groove, and is sung by K.K. and Shreya Ghoshal (K.K. seems to be the chosen one for Latin-inspired songs in Bollywood). The music is average- not bad but not extraordinary- however, K.K. and Shreya's voices definitely make this love song likeable. The lyrics are also those that have been heard before, and we will have to see how the song is picturized to see if it makes an impact with the audience.
Khatti Meethi: Khatti Meethi is one of those songs that I didn't like when I first started hearing it, and ended up liking it by the end. Sung by Shreya Ghoshal, the lyrics are interspersed with English lyrics, which I'm not usually a fan of. However, the song is just so cute, and Shreya's voice is even cuter, especially the way she sings the English words. This song is described perfectly by its lyrics, "khatti meethi, strawberry si" (sweet and sour like a strawberry). Definitely a unique track for Bollywood music!
Kaafir Andhere: Ahhh, this is my type of song! This song follows the typical rock/sad genre of song that are famous in Emraan Hashmi/Mahesh Bhatt films, and I still love it! Singer K.K. is at his finest (when is he not?) and I like him best when he sings these types of songs. It brings back the days of Life...In a Metro and Jeet Ganguly also did well with these types of songs in the Blood Money album. Lyrics... I can't even pay attention to them with K.K.'s voice soothing my soul! This is one of those songs that you don't want to end!
Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi: I honestly don't care much for this title track. I think that it may match the attitude of the film (which a title track should) so I give it that much credit. However, musically the song is quite repetitive, and it has some random English lyrics and rap in the middle of it (that seems to be the
Kukuduku: Wow, this song is awesome! The high points of this song are definitely the lyrics and the attitude in which Mohit Chauhan sings the lyrics! I honestly don't want to say much about the song, because it's one that needs to be heard to understand what I mean. It isn't necessarily rich musically, but it's one that can be imagined in a film like this, and I can't wait to see how it's picturized on Boman Irani! If you would like to see the lyrics and their English translation, check out Bollymeaning's translation of the song!
Ramba Mein Samba: Usha Uthup! is the one saving grace of this last track of the album. This song also has some Latin flavor; however, the attitude doesn't really catch on. It should be nice to see Farah groove to this song though (she is a dancer and choreographer right?). And that finishes off the album!
This album has its moments, with Khatti Meethi, Kaafir Andhere, and Kukuduku and I'm glad that Jeet Ganguly composed unconventional songs for the unconventional characters of the film! It will be interesting to see how these songs are shown in the film, and they should lift the film up!
