Saawariya tracks are still afresh in the mind of the music buffs. By composing such a soulful music, music director Monty Sharma has created a niche in Bollywood. But what he had done with Chamku is totally a disaster. It seemed it has experimented with the film to create another smash hit at his next attempt. Great lyricist Sameer had also failed to mesmerize one with its touching words. The music in no way will contribute to the success quotient of the film. Bobby Deol and Priyanka Chopra are promising stars and very often they are related to hit music but this time they failed with Chamku.
The film has been kept a low profile in terms of promotion and composition. After the successful track of Saawariya, much has been expected from Monty Sharma but he had just demoralized the audience. The music of Chamku will not play any role to entice the audience to go for the first day, first show. Chamku has altogether five songs mostly comprises of Indian flavor and bountiful of singers like Shreya Ghosal, Richa Sharma, Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Vaishali Samant, Saleem Shahzada, Soumya Raoh and Anaida have been roped to decorate the songs with their melodious voice.
The track opens with Aaja Milke with the soothing voice of Shreya Ghosal. It is a romantic numbers and the lyrics by Sameer speak about togetherness and love. It has a total Indian touch and sounds like a typical Bollywood romantic number. This is the only song in the album that makes you to play again. Monty Sharma has made an effort to give a Saawariya touch to it but he is not fully successful in his attempt.
The second offering of the album is Kitwe Jawa, this song has some Punjabi flavor and at the same time it has a melancholy feeling. The task to croon this sad song has been given to the singer of its own kind Richa Sharma. Richa is known to have rendered some hit sad song in the past and so again the responsibility of crooning this gloomy song has been given to her. Unfortunately, the result did not turn out to be quite promising and will be discarded just after listening once.
The third disaster of the album is Gola Gola. You may be wondering what is Gola Gola. It is a holi number and the lyrics speak about bhang, gulal and pichkari. Abhijeet Bhattacharya and Vaishali Samant have rendered their voice for this entertaining song. Time will say whether it will mark up to the level of Bollywood’s hit holi numbers or just go simply. Cine-goers are long waiting for the choreography and picturisation as it an important element of any holi numbers.
The fourth offering of Monty Sharma is Trance. It serves as a break from the desi music. Trance is a full-fledged party number with loads of western beats and has an inclusion of Hindi and English lyrics. It would create a full party atmosphere. Saleem Shahzada, Soumya Raoh and Anaida took hold of the mike. It is noisy, fast-paced and quite lively. It has been added keeping in mind the taste of the new generation.
The album closes with Dukh Ke Badri, another sad track like Kitwe Jawa. On hearing it, you will have the feeling that it is set in the village backdrop. Crooned by Kalpana, Parthiv Goel and Shail, the song is mediocre to listen. It speaks about leaving back the bad worries and moving forward with a ray of new hope.
On the whole, the music of Chanku is not at all phenomenal. It lacks in many departments and will lead one to wonder what made the maker to compose such an awful album. It will fail to leave any impression in one’s mind. The album is just a waste.
