Aashayein Music Review

Poster

Director: Nagesh Kukunoor
Starring: John Abraham, Sonal Sehgal, Girish Karnad, Anaita Nair etc.

Music: Pritam, Salim Merchant-Sulaiman Merchant, Shiraz Uppal

The movie Aashayein was shot around 2-3 years back, but due to some issues, was delayed.
I was curious about the music of Aashayein, when i saw a song of it in TV randomly.
The song featured Pritam and Neeraj Shridhar singing something, and it felt like usual Pritam-ish composition.
Later i downloaded the songs and started listening.

Mera Jeena Hai Kya- Neeraj Shridhar ( Music: Pritam ).
A good song which grows on you, the growing instrumentals in the background are awesome, and Neeraj Shridhar has sung it well.. Some portions are so Pritam-ish but still the song is a good composition, and the lyrics are also equally good.
7.5/10.

Dilkash Dildaar Duniya- Shaan, Tulsi Kumar ( Music: Pritam ).
Somewhat horrible, with the bad voice of Tulsi Kumar and some cliche lyrics.
The title portion of the song is very good, but song doesnt come to that level...
Tulsi Kumar gave us a fantastic 'Tum Jo Aaye' before a month, but this is sung so badly by her.
4/10.

Rabba- Shiraz Uppal.
Above average track, i havent listened it more that 4-5 times...
Not that much addictive, but still a honest attempt..
5.5/10

Ab Mujhko Jeena- Zubeen (Music: Salim-Sulaiman).
Wooooooooooooooooooooow!!!!! Lovvvvvvve this song...
Excellently performed by Zubeen, this song is very good.
Salim-Sulaiman's potential is revealed again..
8/10.

Shukriya Zindagi- Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan (Music: Salim-Sulaiman).
Goddddd!!!! Another gem again!!!
Great song with great lyrics, great style of singing and great music..
Simply great!!!
The remix also rocks!!!
9.5/10.

Pal Mein Mila Jahan- Shreya Ghoshal/ Shankar Mahadevan (Music: Salim-Sulaiman).
Boring song, both the versions seemed quite boring...
3/10.

Chala Aaya Pyar- Mohit Chauhan (Music: Salim-Sulaiman).
Another excellent song sung by Mohit Chauhan, very good in all aspects...
9/10.

On the whole, its a very good album...
Gems: Ab Mujhko Jeena, Shukriya Zindagi, Chala Aaya Pyar.
PS: The lyrics by Mir Ali Husain and Sameer are excellent, too!!!!

Overall Rating: 7.5/10.
