Music Review :
Reshammiya's 'Dil Diya Hai' worth a miss (MUSIC REVIEW)
By Zafri Mudasser Nofil, Indo-Asian News Service
Album: "Dil Diya Hai"; Music Director:
Himesh Reshammiya; Lyrics: Sameer; Music Label: T Series.
Rating: *1/2
It seems Himesh Reshammiya (give us a break) has run out of
tricks. Another film score and the same mundane effort. Though
he tries his best to be different - at times
even trying to sound like a Sufi singer - he fails miserably.
One fails to understand why he refuses to change his style - he
has been sounding the same in almost all his recent songs.
"Dil diya" by Reshammiya and Himani is the opening track of the
album. Reshammiya is in his usual self - changing pitches all of
a sudden while maintaining his nasal tone. Even Himani's husky
voice fails to do any good to this number.
"Mile ho tum to" is another forgettable duet sung by Reshammiya
and Tulsi Kumar. Though the lyrics are of a happy number, it
turns out to be one of agony and depression.
Reshammiya then croons a solo "Yaadan teriyan", fusing keyboards
with tabla but the result is the same.
The non-Reshammiya numbers - "Chalo dildar chalo" by Hemchandra,
Vinit and Himani, and "Jabse aankh ladi" by Alisha Chinai and
Jayesh - fails to break the monotony.
There is another Reshammiya-Tulsi number "Afsana banake bhool na
jaana" but nothing worthy can be said of this number either.
All the six songs have been remixed by DJ Akbar Sami.
The film, directed by Aaditya Datt, stars Emraan Hashmi (give us
a break, you too), Ashmit Patel, Mithun Chakravorty and newcomer
Geeta Basra.
Reshammiya seemed to be pretty okay in his compositions for "Tere
Naam", "Jodi No. 1" or "Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye".
But post "Aashiq Banaya Aapne" (he won the Filmfare and IIFA
awards for best playback singer), his compositions have almost
become unbearable. Also he began to sing regularly.
"Dil Diya Hai" is really a poor effort by Reshammiya. He can
only but pray that at least the remix versions get some
listening space in party circuits. Though essentially not dance
numbers, party animals, who love to gyrate to anything on offer,
may provide him some solace.
Or else, he can look up to passionate-kisser Hashmi to spring
some magic on screen.
For listeners, "Dil Diya Hai" is really worth giving a miss,
except for those who have vouched to be loyal to Reshammiya,
come whatever may.
