Film: "Aggar"; Music Director: Mithoon; Singers: Qurram, Rup,
Roop Kumar Rathod, Tulsi Kumar, Sharmishtha, Mithoon, Hamza, Shilpa
Rao, Kshitij; Rating: **1/2 Composer Mithoon provides variety in
the album, but one thing is common to all tracks - romance and
passion.
Arabian music makes its presence felt in the title track, "Aggar",
which is a completely sensuous and dreamy number. With soft,
seductive music and impressive beats, the song, sung by newcomer
Hamza and Reshammiya's favourite, Tulsi Kumar, gives one a picture
of what to expect on the big screen as well. While Mithoon's music
gets a thumb's up, the highlight of the number is Hamza.
A completely sentimental number with romance, pain and love oozing
out of it is "Ke bin tere". Mithoon has not only composed it but
also sung it. The lyrics by Sayeed Quadri are impressive and Hamza
and Kshitij's backing vocals deserve special mention.
"Nachle" comes in next. It is a happy-go-lucky track but it sounds
like something went amiss somewhere. Quadri's lyrics could have
been better keeping in mind his calibre.
Continuing with the passionate and sensual tracks is "Paas aaya
kyon".
Sharmishtha's sensuous and melodic voice is the surprise element
of the song. It reminds the listener of compositions like "Tere
bin" that comprise slow, pensive and melodic musical arrangements
that are actually the important ingredients of successful music
these days.
Roop Kumar Rathod returns after "Maula mere maula" in "Sehra" to
create another enchanting track though not living up to the
standards set by the former number.
"Sehra" is a complete ghazal and also has Shilpa Rao rendering her
voice in the background. Though the music has been arranged
interestingly, there is something in the track that can be boring.
On the whole, a nice composition.
In spite of some enjoyable songs in "Aggar", there's no guarantee
that the album will earn big bucks once it's released.
