Sajid-Wajid create masala music for 'Partner' (REVIEW)
By Meghna Menon
Film: "Partner"; Music Director: Sajid-Wajid; Singers: Sonu
Nigam, Labh Janjuwa, Sunidhi Chauhan, Kunal Ganjawala, Sneha
Pant, Shaan, Udit Narayan, Shweta Pandit, DJ Earl; Ratings: ***
Composers Sajid-Wajid team up to create peppy foot-tapping music
for director David Dhawan's latest flick "Partner". The catchy
lyrics and the innovative use of sounds create masala tracks
that will make you sit up and listen though they may not be the
ones you would want to hear after a few months.
"Soni de nakhre", an out and out Punjabi number sung by Labh and
Sneha, gives the track something to look forward to despite
Sneha's unimpressive rendition. It is a moderately paced
composition with a little punch, which is hardly noticeable and
not the kind one would want to listen twice.
"Do you wanna partner" caught the ears of the audience when the
bare-chested Salman donned the small screen and mouthed these
lyrics in his inimitable style. A kind of track that would have
many doing a jig to its lyrics while many might also change the
channel whenever the track is played.
Bizarre lyrics, penned by Sanjay Chel, might surprise you but
what else could expect in a David Dhawan movie. The number,
crooned by Udit Narayan and Shaan, incorporates some Indian
hip-hop tunes and also average classical music, making it a
complete hotchpotch.
DJ Earl's robust rapping makes an entry in "You're my love".
It's an average number sung by Shaan and Shweta Pandit. It also
incorporates sounds of a lot of instruments including the flute.
It's very obvious that despite an ardent effort to make the
track enjoyable to hear, it doesn't creates very little
impression.
"Maria Maria" gives the audience a taste of Latin music. Sung by
Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan, the song is likeable yet
forgettable.
A likely hit in the making is "Dupatta tera nau rang da". It
makes one assume that there's plenty of dancing here too. Sonu
and Kunal Ganjawala croon for the protagonists while Shreya
Ghoshal fills in for the female lead.
The song has great tempo and showcases techno sounds.
With a variety of singers on board, the masses should end up
liking at least one song in the entire album. For Sajid and
Wajid, the decision to make the soundtrack for "Partner" was a
safe bet.
