For the first time ever in many years
since Rakesh Roshan started making movies under his banner
Filmkraft, the music doesn't turn out to be a highlight. 'Krrish',
'Koi Mil Gaya', 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai', 'Koyla', 'Karan Arjun'...the
list is endless, but one common factor that ties these films
together is Rajesh Roshan's melodious score.
To one's regret, the veteran composer is just not in form
with Krazzy 4 which only boasts of one number which could go
some distance.
Rajesh Roshan, Asif Ali Beg and composer/lyricist/singer
Vishal Dadlani collaborate for the title song Krazzy 4
which actually gives quite a good kick start to the album. A
cracker of a song which has a mix of English and Hindi
lyrics, Krazzy 4 is the item song picturised on Shah
Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan (in different versions).
Relying completely on beats and some funky sound
arrangements, this heavily orchestrated number moves at a
rapid pace and doesn't have any pace for a breather, either
for the singer or the audience itself. Krazzy 4 not
just appears in a pumped up 'remix version', it also comes
with a different title Break Free (which would
have Hrithik Roshan making an appearance). A minute and a
half longer than the title song Krazzy 4 which lasted
for merely 3 minutes, Break Free is essentially the same
track as the original with very slight modifications in
arrangements. Yet again, the number appears in a 'remix
version' as well which makes sure that the dance floors are
engaged whenever and wherever the track plays.
Dekhta Hai Tu Kya is
the item number choreographed on Rakhi Sawant. A 'chalu'
number, as per the demand of the situation, it has a rustic
interiors-India feel to it. Rajesh Roshan tries to spice it
up with some club sounds and slight Western touches though
the number stays on to have a late 70s/early 80s feel to it.
With Sunidhi Chauhan at the helm, Dekhta Hai Tu Kya
(coming in remix version too) which has Kirti Sagathia
lending supporting vocals, is aimed at the front benchers.
For the first 10 seconds of
Ik Rupiya one is surprised to hear the same sound
which was last heard in 'Dil Samandar' [Garam
Masala]. However, the similarity ends soon after as Ik
Rupiya turns out to be more of a conversational song.
Apparently featuring the entire bunch of Krazzy 4 in
a hospital setting as they go through treatment, 'Ik
Rupiya' has multiple singers in the form of Sudesh
Bhosle, Kirti Sagathia, Bhavin Dhanak, Labh Janjua, Rahul
Vaidye and Jimmy Moses. A boring track that hardly makes an
impression audio wise, one wonders if it would be able to
make any mark on screen as well!
New find Ankita Sachdev comes next with her rendition of Jan
Gan Man. Last to arrive is O Re Lakad which is yet
another old fashioned song belonging to the 70s/80s era.
Reminding of the kind of numbers which featured the likes of
Neetu Singh and Ranjeeta in the era gone by, 'O Re Lakad'
has Sowmya Raoh lending her vocals while being joined by
Kailash Kher and Neeraj Sridhar. Based on Indian melody,
this is the only number in the album with a Rajesh Roshan
touch to it. The 'antara' portions here are better when
compared to 'mukhda' which comprises of words like 'ikad-bakad-chungaliya'
that completely kills the impact!
Though the genre of Krazzy 4 didn't quite warrant a
melodic outing, the least one was looking for was an
engaging soundtrack. Ultimately it's only the title song and
'Dekhta Hai Tu Kya' that work to a certain extent.
