Music Review Awarapan
Awarapan
 There are only two production houses in the country today that guarantee quality music coming from their stable - Yash Raj Films and Vishesh Films. Both have a certain branding that they have been able to build around over the years and the result is that regardless of the director, cast or crew of the film, the music is always one of the most looked forward to if it bears a Yash Raj or Vishesh Films stamp.
Awarapan is no exception, more so since it brings together Bhatts, Emraan Hashmi, Mohit Suri and Pritam again.
While Mohit Suri has seen a hat trick of success in the form of 'Zeher', 'Kalyug' and 'Woh Lamhe', Pritam has hit gold with both 'Gangster' and 'Woh Lamhe'.
Moreover Emraan Hashmi has rarely got it wrong when it comes to music for his films, latest example being 'The Train' which is doing superb at the music stands.
Though in case ofAwarapan, Pritam is mainly in the capacity of music arranger (due to actual compositions being done by Pakistani artists), his name still carries enough weight to make one look forward to the film's soundtrack.
If you have been a fan of 'Woh Lamhe' [Zeher], 'Aadat' [Kalyug], 'Tere Bin' [Bas Ek Pal] and 'Zindagi' [The Train] then be rest assured that it won't take you more than a single hearing to pick up 'Toh Phir Aao'. The track follows the genre which Pakistani artists have made popular over the least few years and is an instant winner.
Mustafa Zahid's voice carries a mature feel with it as he sings along to a tune originally composed by him. Written by Sayeed Quadri who is now a regular with the Bhatts, the song has a lyrical depth that follows an unconventional approach and requires one to give a close hearing to appreciate the beauty it carries along with itself.
Arriving first in a haunting 'Lounge Version', 'Toh Phir Aao' later comes in a regular version (which is almost unplugged in the way it has been arranged) and makes you fall in love with it all over again. Last but not the least, DJ Suketu created 'remix' version knocks the doors. This time around there is an altogether different feel to the proceedings as Suketu goes all out in creating a club house sound.
