Golmaal 3 Music Review

Director: Rohit Shetty

Cast: Ajay Devgn, Mithun Chakraborty, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Khemu, Kareena Kapoor

Music: Pritam, Bappi Lahiri

Okay, so the songs of the film I’ve been waiting for the last two years, is out, finally!There are no much expectations, but atleast one powerful title track is a must, and we have the right to expect that!The title track we see in music channels nowadays is pretty good, in fact!Pritam has composed 4 tracks, and two old tracks are re-composed by Bappi Lahiri.With a Mithun Chakraborty element in the film, I wasn’t surprised to see the ‘Disco Dancer’ title for one of the songs. Okay, so I could not wait for the original ACD rips, so I downloaded these digitally encoded songs, and started listening.

Golmaal - K.K, Anushka Manchanda & Monali

The title track is pretty good and well-sung. With the blockbuster promotion, this will surely become a frequent song in music channels, no doubt about it. The song is not as powerful as the ‘Vacancy’ song of Golmaal Returns, but this is much better than the title track of Golmaal 1. I never liked that song much, except, of course, for the ‘Golmaal Golmaal’ portion.. Enjoyable song.

6.5/10

Apna Har Din - Shaan & Anushka Manchanda

Usual Pritam-ish song, carrying traces of ‘Bamulaiza (De Dana Dan)’, ‘Lovely Mera Hit Hit (Billu)’ and numerous other songs. Nothing new, Its the lead singers, who saves the track from becoming a boring affair. The lyrics are pretty good, overall an ok-ok song, may be likeable on screen, if included in the movie.

6/10

Ale - Neeraj Shridhar & Antara Mitra

Antara Mitra’s ‘Barbie Girl’-ish, sweet voice gives a nice start start to the song. Neeraj Shridhar takes the song just after that, and then there is no sweetness in the foreground, its a powerful song, the lyrics are much self-intended, like the Golmaal team telling about themselves!! Antara Mitra later comes back, and the sweetness wasn’t much retained in the hindi lyrics portion. Anyway, this is an enjoyable song.

7.5/10

Desi Kali - Neeraj Shridhar & Sunidhi Chauhan

Usual Pritam stuff, the song falls in the same genre of the ‘Meow’ and some other song of the Golmaal Returns. Not at all interested in this song… Only a good video can save this song, I guess…

4/10

Disco Dancer - Bappi Lahiri

Song from Mithun Chakraborty's old film, of the same name.The song was heard in the Anjaana Anjaani promos also, looking forward for a very funny song video.Nothing much to say about this song, I haven’t listened to the original version, anyway this is like those 80-s type party dance song.

7/10

Yaad Aa Raha Hain - Sudesh Bhosle

Good song, pretty enjoyable. I googled and found out this is also a song from the Mithun da film ,’Disco Dancer’.Sudesh Bhosle’s voice is nice, and I wish this song be used wisely in the film, to bring the house down…

7.5/10

There are three remixes, nothing special to mention about them,. Usual remix stuff, only thing worth mentioning is the suppressed ‘Golmaal’ in the portions ‘Go go go Golmaal’.. Sounds somewhat nice.

On the whole, nothing so great,barring the two old tracks, it is a just- above average album, but then, a Rohit Shetty film doesn’t have much scope for standalone music, all they need is songs with colourful picturisation, two-piece girls, bikes and cars clashing!! Rock this diwali, Golmaal team!!!

Overall rating is 6.5/10
