Chup Chup Ke seems to have an interesting combination of a comedy director Priyadarshan, music director Himesh Reshammiya and an exciting and fresh cast of Kareena Kapoor, Shahid Kapur, Sunil Shetty and Neha Dhupia along with all time hit comic actors Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav. The combination of all these seems electrifying. A comedy film that has the Kareena-Shahid jodi, where Kareena plays the role of a mute girl. The music score has been done by Reshammiya, who continues to dole out one hit song after the other and one expects nothing less from this album too. And with current favourite singers like Sonu Nigam, K.K, Kunal Ganjawala and Shreya Ghoshal the music album does have high expectations. The lyrics have been done by the one and only Sameer.
‘Shabbe Firaq’- Himesh Reshammiya adds his lucky touch to the album with his rendition along with co-singer Tulsi Kumar. Himesh gives his voice a new dimension which varies from his usual predictable nasal twang. Tulsi Kumar too boosts the pitch of the song. The song has a mixture of old-world charm along with modern music which makes it unique in style. With beautiful lyrics like ‘Shabbe Firaq’ and the catchy ‘Aa Re Aa Re’ the song has a blend of Middle East and Indian. A promotional video done by Gulati only enhances the appeal of the song in its all white avatar. The lyrics are fresh and nice, tune is interesting and the song has lively upbeat beats. There’s a ‘Remix Version’ by Akbar Sami which gives the track a dance feel. Definitely a song that will get listeners humming along and one that will slowly climb the charts.
Score: 7/10
‘Dil Vich Lagya Ve’- This is a funky, fun and groovy number which has a Punjabi flavour. Himesh sings two lines of the title himself but then Sonu Nigam takes over and delivers extremely well. Newcomer Akriti Kakkar is also smashing in the song. The song has energy and non-stop dance written all over it and Shahid’s zestful dance moves are a further booster. Kunal Ganjawala also joins in the crooning and the trio delivers a great performance. The song is full of life and just makes you want to get up and groove along with the lead pair Shahid and Kareena. The lyrics are chilled out and you eventually start singing along. Beats are lively and pacy. Akbar Sami’s ‘Remix Version’ turns up the notch a step further and adds a dose of western influences with the bhangra-rap, pop-dance and hip-hop feel making it sound awesome.
Score: 8/10
‘Ghoomar Re’- A song by the talented K.K and Sunidhi Chauhan which has a folklore style. The song begins with an Indian tune and then a few western musical arrangements are thrown in to make it more interesting. Lyrics are average and the beats have an average pace. The rhythm and tunes are lively and catchy. The ‘Remix version’ by Akbar Sami is not much different from the original version and merely adds a few more beats. An average number that has been fitted into the album well.
Score: 6/10
‘Aaya Re’- The song is a typical Reshammiya composition with lyrics done by Sameer. This song sung by Kunal Ganjawala keeps up with the other songs in tempo and beats. Basically like the other numbers, this one too is racy and lively. Sunidhi Chauhan and Arya give him company on the vocals. It has Indian music with traces of western influences. Beats are fast paced, lyrics are pleasant and it has a nice melodious tune. The ‘Remix Version’ is done by Himesh’s favourite Akbar Sami which is a slightly pacier version and one which you can dance to. The original version is more captivating, as much of the Indian essence is lost in the remix version.
Score: 7/10
‘Tumhi Se’- A soft and melodious number by Vijay Yesudas and Shreya Ghoshal. It is a romantic number with soothing lyrics. The rendition is done in an extremely subtle and sweet manner. The song has a very non-filmi tune to it which makes it stand out in the album, but in a good way. A number that calms one, the lyrics are nice enough, beats are soft and tune is interesting. There is also an ‘Unplugged Version’ by Kunal Ganjawala which is again a nice, soft rendition and prolongs the mood for a few minutes more.
Score: 7/10
‘Mausam Hai Bada Qatil’- A Sonu Nigam rendition, this one has a 70‘s feel to it. It’s a slow song that has Indian and western musical influences. The beats are averagely paced and the lyrics are average. It has a trademark whistle at the end of the song, which is also a 70’s feature. However in spite of the good rendition, the song is just about average.
Score: 5/10
The songs of Chup Chup Ke are continuously being aired on music channels and each time one hears the numbers like Shabbe Firaq and Dil Vich Lagya Ve, the more one tends to like the songs. These two numbers are making the most impact, however even numbers like Aaya Re and Tumhi Se have good potential. One more hit album from Himesh, definitely a good and entertaining album. Especially for those who like dance music, most of the songs both the original and remix have lively and fast beats. So dance away people.
