'Ta Ra Rum Pum' needs pumping (MUSIC REVIEW)
By Prashant Kaushik
Album: "Ta Ra Rum Pum"; Music: Vishal-Shekhar; Singers: Shaan,
Mahalaxmi Iyer, Sneha Suresh, Shravan Suresh, Sunidhi Chauhan
and Sonu Nigam; Rating **12
After the marginal success of "Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd",
music director duo Vishal-Shekhar have composed another
seemingly bouncy compilation in "Ta Ra Rum
Pum". The album is relatively small by our Hindi film industry
standards as it has only six tracks and there is not a single
remix.
The title track "Ta ra rum pum" is sung by Shaan, Mahalaxmi Iyer,
Sneha Suresh and Shravan Suresh - Vishal-Shekhar have used four
different voices for four leading
characters of the movie. Consistent whistling makes this track
vivacious. The lyrics, however, lack creativity.
"Hey shona" is sung by Shaan and Sunidhi Chauhan in their
melodious voices. It is a slow euphonious track conveying the
feelings of two lovers for each other. Apt dhol and drum beats
and spirited guitaring gels with the lyrics, which for the most
part remain mediocre.
"Nache le" is one jaunty track full of vigour. Sonu Nigam and
Somya Roah lend their voice to the song, which is an open
invitation for the listeners to dance. The background score is
more of a mix and match variety. The lyrics further convey the
robust Punjabi spirit of dance and celebration.
"Ta ra ra ra rum" is another
mellifluous track sung exceedingly well by Shreya. This one is a
slow lyrical track and marks a turning point in the movie with
its sanguine tone. Piano play is the mainstay of the music. It
is repetitive at some places and relatively long as well.
"Ab to forever" is about the eternal male-female war of words
about love. It begins with rhythmic dholak beats and Vishal's
mumbo-jumbo. The Hinglish lyrics reflect the
contemporary lingo of youth.
"Saayiaan" is a song that expresses Sufi spirit, crooned by
Vishal Dadlani on an inspiring note. Though the rendition falls
short of creating that soothing effect through the lyrics, it
gels well with the music.
Although attempts have been made to compile an assorted album it
turns out to be mediocre. At some places, there seem to be
traces of "Salaam Namaste". Some more creativity and imagination
might have lifted the album above average.
