Music Review - The Train
This album is special and reasons are aplenty. Let's begin with the best of the lot before moving on to the others.
First and foremost The Train marks the debut of Mithoon as a sole composer for an entire album. Before this soundtrack, the young lad has been coming up with consistently good results for his rearranged tracks ' Woh Lamhe' [Zeher] and 'Aadat' [Kalyug] , a superhit ' Tere Bin' [Bas Ek Pal] followed by equally popular tracks in 'Anwar' ['Maula Mere', 'Javeda Zindagi'] .
Secondly, the lyrics of the album are written by Sayeed Quadri, the man who has been fast forming an association with Mithoon for majority of his compositions. Identified with quality lyrics, his work has been speaking for itself, especially during last couple of years.
Thirdly, the film stars Emraan Hashmi in the lead. Emraan and popular songs go hand-in-hand.
Last but not the least, the film is produced by Shyam and Narendra Bajaj who have been producing medium budget, but successful films, for around a decade. Their last release 'Aksar' [starring Hashmi] was a musical hit. Would follow suit and give it's director-duo Hasnain Hyderabadwala and Raksha Mistry a success to their name?
With so many factors indicating a good musical outing, one expects nothing but superior quality of music. Well, get ready to hear an album that boasts of a very good soundtrack with new sound as a cherry on the cake!
Now this has to be a really unique combination, and a good one at that. Not just it is (pleasantly) surprising to see the return of Shilpa Rao behind the mike [her 'Javeda Zindagi' [Anwar] continues to haunt forever], the big moment is to see yet another composer turning singer so early in his career. Yes, Mithoon too can't resist the temptation of coming behind the mike and doesn't he more than justify his decision? Coming across so very convincing as the voice of Emraan Hashmi in ' Woh Ajnabee ', he does quite well with his boyish charm truly reflected in his voice. A fresh tune in the offering, the song belongs to Shilpa even more than Mithoon ......
