Band Bajaa Baraat Music Review

Director: Maneesh Sharma
Cast: Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma
Music: Salim-Sulaiman

Actually there were no much expectations for this flick, but the ‘Tarkeebein’ song which is aired in TV nowadays raises expectations a little. Afterall, it is a YRF movie, and the music is by Salim-Sulaiman. So, let’s see how the songs are.


Band Baaja Baaraat- Salim Merchant & Shraddha Pandit
The title track is a very short number, and the movie title gets repeated in a frequency of 3 times in 5 seconds, in the song!! ;) However, good title track.
6.5/10


Tarkeebein- Benny Dayal & Salim Merchant
Now this is something which stands out. It is sung well by Benny Dayal, and Salim Merchant gives ample support to him, making this a memorable song. Good song, but don’t know the meaning of ‘Tarkeebein yet!!
7.5/10

Ainvayi Ainvayi- Salim Merchant & Sunidhi Chauhan
This track is typically Punjabi in its style, it seems more of a Pritam song, somewhat like Aahun Aahun and all.. The singers have done a fine job, however nothing special about the song. Master Saleem sings a ‘Dilli club mix’ later in the album, nothing worth mentioning.
5.5/10

Aadha Ishq- Shreya Ghoshal
Shreya Ghoshal can’t go bad!! Beautiful song, but can’t digest the lyrics like ‘Aadhaa ishq’. Why love is ‘Aadhaa’??? The instruments are used beautifully in the song.
7/10

Dum Dum- Benny Dayal & Himani Kapoor
Shades of various composers in this song!! Can’t remember the similar songs, but there are quite a few.. Anyway, it is an interesting song, although there is nothing new in it. The song later comes as a ‘Sufi’ mix in the album, with Sukhvinder Singh replacing Benny. It has a more ‘Himesh’ touch in it!!
6.5/10

Mitra- Amitabh Bhattacharya & Salim Merchant
A feel good song, sung well. There are shades of some previous songs of the composers, but still it manages to be a good song.
7/10

Baari Barsi- Harshdeep Kaur, Labh Janjua & Salim Merchant
Didn’t like this in the first listening, but now it seems interesting in the second listening. Harshdeep Kaur rocks in all her songs, really man!!! Some excellent songs in Karzzzz, Kajraare, Guzaarish etc, and now this one!! Anyway, the English lyrics didn’t contribute much to the mood of the song.
7.5/10

So, the songs are alright, but has a non-Salim Sulaiman feel somewhere here and there, and that’s good!! Changes are always welcome!!

Overall rating is 6.75/10
