Main Hoon Na

'Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha' has an age-old charm associated with it. Such is the melody of the number that you can't help but remember the golden times of the 70s when Rishi Kapoor used to woo his heroines in style! Abhijeet is in great form while Shreya Goshal does her part well. A nice melodious number, it should be liked by the lovey-dovey hearts!

'Chale Jaise Hawayein' is a youthful track that is rhythmic, vibrant and lively. A song, which is more in the mould of Shankar Ehsaan Loy rather than Anu Malik style of music, it is noticeable that the poetry about nature by Javed Akhtar has been presented in a modern style. A song that is lead mainly by Vasundhara Das and supported well by Kay Kay, its major attraction is it's filming which was done in 'single take' (a la 'Roop Tera Mastana' on Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore, which too was done in one single take). Waiting to watch this one!

Kay Kay gets to do more in the 'feel-good' track 'Ye Fizayein' which is fresh and lively again. A track featured on the entire principal star-cast of Main Hoon Naa (SRK, Sushmita Sen, Zayed Khan, Amrita Rao), it is about living life to the fullest, finding true love and spreading love all over. Alka Yagnik is, as always, good in this song which is high on melody (though the intermittent dholak beats do sense of 'Ladki Badi Anjaani Hai' - KKHH ] and should turn out to be one of the more popular tracks in this flick.

Abhijeet, who has been the voice behind many a Shah Rukh hits, gets to sing the sad version of the title track 'Main Hoon Naa'. A number where the protagonist is craving for love after being rejected by his own people, it has good lyrical value. A full-fledged sad track, it is situational and should do well with the Shah Rukh fans.

KK, Anu Malik, Shreya Goshal and Sunidhi Chauhan come together to boogey-woogey in 'Gori Gori'. A pacy track, it is destined to be popular amongst the campus crowds. Such is the rhythm of the track that one immediately looks for dancing shoes to hit the dance floor within a minute of the song being played. Though the lyrics are average, credit should be given to Anu Malik to make the number foot tapping. Let the track be aired on the small screen and it won't be time before it catches the fancy of the youth.

By the time you wait for this number to hit the tube, why not just listen to one of the most innovative [and better] number composed in the recent times 'Tumse Milke Dil Ka Hai Jo Haal Kya Kare' is an immensely catchy number that doesn't need more than 2 listening to be registered on one's lips. A superb 'qawalli' fused well with the modern-day beats, it is elevated to greater heights by mind blowing sets, vibrant florescent colors [did you expect less while Farah Khan was around?] and some imaginative choreography [one actually sees swans floating around while Shahrukh woes Sushmita]. Sonu Nigam, Aftab Sabri and Hashim Sabri do a wonderful job [look at the way Sonu Nigam changes his pitch on and off throughout the track] and last but not the least - the onscreen chemistry shared by the lead actors is awesome. A winner from the word GO, it should be a rage when seen on the big screen. As the saying goes - 'The best always comes in the last', the same holds good for this track which is the last number in this youthful album.

An album which is good by all standards, it belongs to the class of those musical creations that carry a HIT tag all the way. Also the fact cannot be ignored that good music is always expected when Shah Rukh's name is associated with a project and then his previous releases [Chalte Chalte, Kal Ho Na Ho] have done extraordinary business both musically as well as at box-office. This alone will ensure that the lovers of Bollywood music will lap this album like hot cakes!

Go For It!
