Music Review Bhagam Bhag
Bhagam Bhag
If there is one film after Dhoom2 that is exciting Bollywood lovers most before year 2006 comes to an end, it is Bhagam Bhag'. And why not? After all it brings together the ever successful combination of Priyadarshan, Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. With Govinda as an ace with the winning team, it is but natural that there are expectations galore from this comic thriller. With Sameer as the lyricist and music by Pritam who has given Priyadarshan his biggest musical hit in the form of Garam Masala last year, one only expects an ideal follow-up in form of Bhagam Bhag soundtrack. Unfortunately the final outcome is not quite in the same league!
First look at the cover and you get an impression that it is a Himesh Reshammiya album. Why? Because there are 6 original tracks and as many remixes, something which Reshammiya and DJ Akbar Sami have delivered for all of last year. Nevertheless, in case of Bhagam Bhag, the entire score belongs to Pritam and one moves on to listen to the first number Tere Bin. It makes for a rather surprising beginning to 'Bhagam Bhag' since one anticipated a racy start to the soundtrack of this fun flick but what one hears is a sugar-n-saccharine love song about a heart beating for one's love!
A situational number which again has some elements of Ada, title track Bhagam Bhag seems to be designed for appearing as a part of the background score.
This Kunal Ganjawala & Sunidhi Chauhan sung song is paced almost as a nursery rhyme and though the impact is mostly harmless due to melody holding center stage, overall the track isn't anything more than being average with one quickly looking forward to the next track in the album. In fact even the remix version that comes after a while is nothing much to write home about with merely an added zing and pace in order to make it sound a little peppier. Third version of the song comes as Tere Bin – Reprised and surprisingly turns out to be the best of the lot since it has a softer feel to it while bringing vocals to the fore. Another difference in this version is Shreya Ghoshal roped in who only sounds better. In fact after listening to the song 3 times in a row, it only starts sounding better!
