Mumbai Salsa - Indian Film 2007


Director/Writer: Manoj Tyagi
Starring:
Linda Arsenio , Indraneel Sengupta , Dilip Tadeshwar
Music Director:
Adnan Sami
Singers: Kunal Ganjawala, Adnan Sami, Gayatri, Shaan, Shreya Ghoshal, Alisha Chinoy, Amit Kumar

Adnan Sami returns after a gap to compose the soundtrack for Manoj Tyagi's "Mumbai Salsa" wherein a horde of youngsters make their debut. The singer-composer keeps Salsa as the main theme of the album.

We first have Shaan crooning to "Akeli zindagi" - it is an attempt to fuse Latin music with Indian. Shaan is able to render well but as a whole, the song doesn't make a mark and may fade away without being acknowledged.

Adnan's sensuous voice makes its presence felt in the slow and emotional song "Choti si". His rendition reminds one of his earlier compositions.

Next is "Friday". It is an average composition that wouldn't impress anyone.

Sami fails to turn "Mumbai Salsa" into a dance number. Even though he and Alisha Chinoy make a perfect pair for a salsa rendition, the composition is where the track fails primarily.

However, when Alisha goes solo in the second version of "Mumbai Salsa", it turns out to be better than the original.

A romantic duet comes in the form of "Pyar se". With the orchestra in full bloom, the salsa element is quite prominent in the song. Amit Kumar takes on the second version of "Pyar se" where he does justice to the track by emoting sensuality and passion through his singing.

After infusing salsa into every song of the album, Adnan composes an instrumental track titled "Salsa" which is dedicated entirely to Latin music. Though one of the better tracks, "Salsa" doesn't belong to the category of those that would leave an impression and deserve a second hear.

The problem with "Mumbai Salsa" is with its finesse. The album lacks the spark that would have taken it to a more noticeable level. Now whether one blames the film's promotion or the lack of a spark in its music, "Mumbai Salsa" will disappear into the thin air in no time.

Aaja Nachle - Indian Film 2007



Cast:
Akshaye Khanna, Divya Dutta, Irfan Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Kunal Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Ranvir Shorey, Salim Merchant, Sulaiman Merchant, Vinay Pathak

Everyone is waiting for Madhuri Dixit's comeback film "Aaja Nacle". Starring in a movie where music and dance seem to be the essence of the film, Madhuri shakes quite a leg to Salim-Suleiman's music, hoping to create yet another sensation.

Title track "Aaja nachle" could be termed as Madhuri's comeback song that not only features her but also showcases Piyush Mishra's lyrics talking about dance, dance and only dance, something that the actress will always be known for. In all, "Aaja nachle" makes for good listening but isn't the kind that one would like to hear again and again.

"Dance with me", a Sonia Sehgal rendition, is a lukewarm affair as it is basically a dance track that could have been quite a hit in the era gone by but will not find any takers today.

Shreya Ghoshal and Sonu Nigam join hands to render "Is pal", again written by Piyush Mishra. It turns out to be a melodic piece, which encompasses a musical fusion of Indian classical with Western. But once again, the repeat value of the track remains doubtful.

The duo of Shreya and Sonu lend their voice again to "Ishq hua", a half-hearted attempt for romantic melody. Jaideep Sahni pens the lyrics for the song. Sadly, the musical arrangements do not blend well with the vocals and it turns into a mediocre Salim-Suleiman composition.

Next is "O re piya", sung by Rahat Fateh who does wonders once again with the song. Known for always striking a chord with his vocals, Rahat goes behind the mike for a sentimental, melodic and Sufi-inclined number that seems to have the right amount of emotions blending with the soulful music composed by the composer duo.

Rustic and folksy music makes its way through in "Show me your jalwa". The composition has an assortment of singers like Kailash Kher, Richa Sharma and Salim Merchant who provide country-like vocals.

A stage-show sort of number, it is a musical composition that would probably be a delight to hear while watching the movie, but as an individual piece, it may not bring in enough fans.

Madhuri lends her voice to "Soniye mil ja" and provides an interesting introduction to the track. Thereafter, Sukhwinder Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan take over, rendering vocals to a highly pepped up, amusing and entertaining track.

Again, the track is only a one-time wonder.

While the soundtrack of "Aaja Nachle" seems to be an assortment of hits and misses, one can be sure about the fact that the composer duo have definitely improved their standards and have given a chance to filmmakers to notice them all over again. Music of Aaja Nachle is directed by the Merchant brothers, Salim and Sulaiman. I haven't had a listen to any of the songs yet. I'm hoping it's good, because Madhuri definitely deserves a comeback that's perfect from every aspect. I'm really looking forward to see more of her.
