Dhoom 2

One of the most eagerly awaited Music tracks of the year - Dhoom2

Here is the song by song review:

1) Crazy Kiya Re: The album starts with this number sung by Sunidhi Chauhan. On hearing this song you have the feeling that there is still a lot of room for improvement. The music is good and catchy but the lyrics leave a lot to be desired. The song seems to be circumstantial, ie it might gel well with the context of the movie and people might start liking it after watching the video (I expect Ash gyrating to this song). But before that happens I don't expect the song to catch up with the masses

Rating:

2) Touch Me: This is a party pepper. Finally the Dhoom2 music seems to get into the groove. Alisha is at her sensuous best and gives a performance as we have come to expect from her. KK sings pretty well in tandem with Alisha and this song is undoubtedly the best song of the album. Worth hearing time and again.

3) My name is Ali: As soon as you hear the music of the song you feel like singing the song "Dilbara" from Dhoom. A let down really. The music seems to be straight out of Dhoom. Pritam misses a trick here. And the lyrics are no where close to that of "Dilbara". I will prefer listening to "Dilbara" over this any day.

4) Dil Laga Na: 5 singers in one single song!! My God, this song could so easily have been derailed. But the five singers some how manage to hold the song together and to good effect. Worth listening. This song is a reminiscent of the song "Salaami" from Dhoom. Expect this to be the climax song as all the actors come together.

5) Crazy Kiya Re remix: I fail to understand the idea behind having remixes in an album. Two versions of the same song! I would prefer having a new song over a remix. Lack of creativity is it? Anyway the remixed version from Bunty Rajput is better than the original version of the song, which is completely avoidable. A far more pulse racing and foot tapping version, this is pure DJ material.

Rating:


6) Dhoom Again: Vishal Dadlani tries to do a Tata Young and doesn't really pull it off. As you listen to the song you get a feeling that Vishal tries a bit too hard. The flow of the original "Dhoom Machale" is clearly missing and the song moves like a misfiring racing car in a clear piece of race track. This song was meant to be pure adrenaline stuff but doesn't really live up to the expectation. Too slow and too many rough edges to be the title song of Dhoom2.
