Music Review - Fool N Final
Himesh Reshammiya gave at least two chartbuster tracks, ' Ae Meri Zohrajabeen ' and ' Yaad Sataye Teri ' in Firoz Nadiadwala's last film ' Phir Hera Pheri '. Hence it was imperative that he was repeated for the enterprising producer's latest offering Fool N Final. Boasting of a mammoth starcast led by Sunny Deol, Shahid Kapoor, Viveik Oberoi, Bipasha Basu and Ayesha Takia, 'Fool N Final' is a film by choreographer turned director Ahmed Khan who earlier debuted with 'Lakeer'.
With number of dance hits behind him, least what is expected from the songs of ' Fool N Final ' is lavish choreography that gives hopes to elevate this soundtrack by Himesh Reshammiya and Sameer. Now that is actually the need of the situation since without a promise of some eye pleasing choreography, there is nothing else that can potentially lift this score by Reshammiya.
There are just four tracks in the entire album. Though it does raise an eyebrow, what really sounds threatening at the very face value is the presence of remix version of each of the tracks. There was a time when a remix version sounded like a good idea, but not anymore; especially when it is all mundane, routine and very much expected. Nevertheless one moves on to the album to check it out in entirety.
In current scenario it is a pleasant surprise to read the name of some other singer on an inlay card when an album is composed by Himesh Reshammiya. This is the reason why ' Tere Layee ' starts on one-up when Kunal Ganjawala and Himani are the names that you read for the very first track. A racy track that isn't anything special lyrically, it is sheer rhythm, arrangements and some underground feel to the proceedings which makes 'Tere Layee' instantly catchy.
The beats are at just the right places while the mixing demonstrates some good effort that would have gone in making this song the highlight of the album. It actually turns out to be the one because this is the first and last time in the album when you actually enjoy a track thoroughly (except for those four minutes in the middle of the album when its padded-with-additional-beats- remix version arrives). While Kunal is spirited as usual, Himani, who is currently being utilized mainly by Himesh, does well yet again in her trademark husky rendition.
New find Hanif Shaikh croons ' Yeh Dooriyan ' with a punch to give it that youthful edge. An average sounding track .......
