Milenge Milenge Music Review

This is my second music review, and i'm adding the ratings for each song, as suggested by some orkut mate.

Directed by Satish Kaushik, about 5 years ago.
Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor
Music: Himesh Reshammiya

One can see more 'Alka Yagnik' in the credits, as it is an old album.
The movie was in some trouble, and producers are planning to release it now.
Himesh Reshammiya had composed songs for the movie, and that time he wasnt into singing.
Now, when the movie is releasing after 5 years, producers have convinced him so that he rendered his voice for 2 songs, which were recorded currently.
Lyrics by Sameer.
The main problem is, the tastes of people have changed incredibly over these years, and its difficult for 5 year old music to succeed now.
But nevertheless, 2-3 tracks really impresses us...

Kuch Toh Baaki Hai- Himesh Reshammiya.
The song didnt impress me much.
I can see, in many downloading websites, this is the most downloaded track of the album.
But i couldnt find this track great, Himesh tried to create the 'Veeraniyaan', or 'Naamumkin' effect, but he couldnt bring it out completely.
Nevertheless, the orchestration and the 'dhum tana dhum tana tina' in the background of the song is excellent.
5/10.


Milenge Milenge- Alka Yagnik, Jayesh Gandhi.
Jayesh Gandhi has given some good tracks with Himesh, in Ahista Ahista, Red etc.
He is the favorite background singer of Himesh.
He, along with Alka Yagnik makes this title track impressive.
The lyrics of Sameer is as usual, this song is about hopes of meeting again in life.
Nice track.
7.5/10.

Ishq Ki Gali- Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Jayesh Gandhi.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Himesh Reshammiya?
One cant forget the mesmerizing song 'Mein Jahaan Rahoon' from 'Namastey London', which was one of the best albums in Himesh's career.
Khan again teams up with Himesh this time, for a Qawwali type song, a usually heard tune, and he sings well, some portions are sung by Jayesh Gandhi.
6/10.

Tum Chain Ho- Sonu Nigam, Alka Yagnik.
Nice romantic melody, but i felt a deja vu while listening to this song, but this is really a good melody.
Sonu Nigam's voice has given a nice feeling to the song.
7.5/10.

Hare Kanch Ki Chuddiyan- Alka Yagnik.
Again Alka Yagnik!
This time with a song, with a wedding or 'sagaai' type song.
Track is 7 minutes long, and this song didnt impress me.
5/10.

Tum Chain Ho Unplugged- Vineet Singh.
Vineet Singh had given a terrific 'Ulaganaayagane' with Himesh in his Tollywood Mega Project, Dasavatharam.
Now he comes with a soothing, slightly gloomy unplugged version of 'Tum Chain Ho'.
The voice is given importance here, with minimal instruments.
A good song, sung brilliantly.
8/10.

Milenge Milenge Version 2- Himesh Reshammiya, Shreya Ghoshal.
One must be fed up with the nasal voice of Himesh, after hearing 'Kuch Toh Bakee Hai'.
But Himesh comes with a big surprice in this 2nd version of the title track, with CLEAN VOICE.
The version two impressed me more than the first version.
Shreya Ghoshal also sung well, i wish that 'Tum Chain Ho' was also sung by Shreya.
The song starts with some english dialogue, 'at times, people go to different places' and all, the song is longer than the first version.
8.5/10.


2 remixes and 1 'bright mix' are there, ok-ok remixes.

On the whole, Himesh has done a good job, but the chances of mass hits, is not high.
But the album doesnt disappoint.
My favorites are Tum Chain Ho Unplugged, Milenge Milenge 2nd version, Tum Chain Ho


Overall rating 7/10
PS: K.K is missing from the album!!!!
