Music Review Just Married
Just Married
First release of a year is special. This is why one is extra curious to hear what does the music of Just Married have in the offing. The music is also extra special since it has composer Pritam at the helm, who was one of the most versatile and successful musician in the year gone by. Also, Pritam and PNC [film's producers] have a good musical track record behind them in the form of Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena, Ankahee and Pyaar Ke Side Effect. With expectations of a peppy-n-romantic musical outing from the music of this Meghna Gulzar film that has lyrics by Gulzar saab with Fardeen Khan & Esha Deol in the lead, one plays on the CD. And doesn't one feel glad that Just Married has been released as the opening album of 2007?
First few seconds into the opening number Ram Milaye Jodi and one can't help but revisit the credit details for the song. Reason? The song is completely modeled on the Shankar Ehsaan Loy style of music with their trademark Indian melody that has been their forte. Even the arrangements are very much on the similar lines that only bring the song further closer to SEL kind of music.
Having said that, Pritam does a very good job in coming up with a catchy track which is a shaadi-byaah number with a difference.With the marriage season on and Ram Milaye Jodi being unadulterated harmless fun, it is the sing-with-a-smile approach by the three singers - Sukhwinder Singh, Sunidhi Chauhan and Shaan - that mark an enjoyable beginning to the album.
Techno mood of the album continues with Kehna Hai Jo which is crooned by Shekhar Rajviani himself. There is an elaborate setting for around a minute before Shekhar comes on the mike and the innovative part of the song is that arrangements are on the fore here with vocals being in the background.Most happening trend of 2006 continues into 2007 as well as the remix version of 'Ram Milaye Jodi' is heard later in the album. Thankfully, it doesn't kill the impact created by the original and only adds on to the fun. Lastly comes a shorter sad version of the song which is a Sukhwinder Singh solo. This one is a part of film's background score for a particular situation.
Sunidhi Chauhan was good in 'Ram Milaye Jodi' but she is excellent [as she is in majority of mellow numbers] in 'Gudgudee'.
