 EXPECTATIONS
David Dhawan. Govinda, Vashu Bhagnani. Sushmita Sen.
This combination, in various permutations and
combinations, has time and again succeeded at the box
office with a truly mass appeal working for it. Add to
that some young blood in the form of Riteish Deshmukh,
Lara Dutta and Sohail Khan and you know that Do Knot
Disturb has been designed as a youthful entertainer.
And then bring back Nadeem Shravan along with Sameer and
expectations are bound to be quite high. Last film for
which they composed music was Dosti - Friends Forever
which was four years back. Hence, one plays on this
Nadeem-Sharavan album with bated breath.
MUSIC
With the very first note of Do Knot Disturb coming
into play, one knows there and then that Nadeem Shravan have
left behind their sound of the 90s (which had in fact given
a new dimension to the way Bollywood music was created then)
and made what the doctors had ordered. Doctors in this case
being David Dhawan, Govinda and Vashu Bhagnani. That's
because 'Zulfaen Khol Khal Ke' belongs more to
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Gharwali Baharwali and
Biwi No. 1 mode than an Aashiqui or a Dil Hai
Maanta Nahi.
Going with the genre of the movie, one doesn't mind that
either as Sonu Nigam and Anuradha Shriram put their 'masti'
and 'dhamaka' hats on and enjoy their stint behind the mike
in a number that should be a fun watch on screen. Does the
number break any barriers? Does it present something that is
absolutely unique? Does it have the potential to be playing
6 months from now? Answer to this is 'no' but the fact
remains that it is decent fun as long as it lasts.
'Don't Ever Leave Me' is a track that bears
Nadeem-Shravan stamp but it really sounds outdated even
after hearing it for a few times. A fast moving number that
belongs to the late 90s and early 00s, this duet by Shaan
and Shreya Ghosal is a love song that comes from the era of
a 'Yeh Dil Aashiqanaa' and a 'Dil Ka Rishta'.
One would have expected something that moves as per the
current times but 'Don't Ever Leave Me' is far from
it, especially the parts around 'Oh Baby O' which do
appear passé.
'Can You Feel The Fire, I Want To Take You Higher'
marks a kick start to 'Mere Naal' and one
starts wondering if there would have been something new that
the lyricist could have thought of? Nevertheless, amidst the
sound of 'aahas' and 'ohos', this Punjabi number attempts at
bringing youngsters on the dance floors. Yet again, this is
hardly a trademark Nadeem Shravan composition and belongs to
David Dhawan brand of musical setting. Coming together of KK
and Shreya Ghosal ensures good vocals at least for this
number (with Jigar Saraiya and Nitika Kanwar as the
supporting vocalists) which is a fine hear with an eye on
the masses. One still waits for that special number though
to make an appearance in Do Knot Disturb.
That special something is heard finally in 'Bebo'
which is a Neeraj Shridhar and Anushka Manchandani combo.
May be it's the Neeraj Sridhar effect but after just one
hear, you get an impression of listening to a Pritam
composition. Now this one is a chartbuster for sure even
though it comes a little too late in the album. An out and
out entertaining track that has just the right attitude,
beats and rhythm with the perfect vocals that could have
been thought for a song belonging to this genre, 'Bebo'
is a winner. Play it on a repeat mode for some good time on
the dance floors.
In continuation of 'Bebo' comes 'Beautiful
Women' which has Sowmya Raoh giving company to
Neeraj Shridhar this time around. Set in the same mode and
genre as 'Bebo', 'Beautiful Women' is again
what one expected for an album that caters to current
generation. Ok, so there isn't anything extraordinary that
Nadeem Shravan and Sameer have to offer but at least they
spunk up the song enough to set the rhythm right. Just like
the opening number 'Zulfaen Khol Khal Ke', this one
stays on to be good as long as it lasts.
Finally, the title song 'Do Knot Disturb'
tries to be all youthful, cool, hip and happening but sadly
doesn't turn out to be one. Sung by T.K.Karthik and Anushka
Manchanda, this one too is really 90s and at places the
change in tune is more annoying than entertaining. This is
one of those tracks that may work only as a part of the
film, though looking at it's content it appears that this
number may be more for promotional purpose rather than being
interspersed in the narrative.
OVERALL
First things first - Do Knot Disturb has hardly the
kind of music that one expects from Nadeem Shravan. It
doesn't carry the vintage style of the composer duo. As
stated earlier, the music is created keeping in mind David-Govinda-Vashu
brand of film making and hence there is a mix of Anu Malik,
Pritam, Anand Raj Anand and Sajid-Wajid that one gets to
hear. Play it on for 'Bebo'!
