Film: "Partner"; Music Director: Sajid-Wajid; Singers: Sonu
Nigam, Labh Janjuwa, Sunidhi Chauhan, Kunal Ganjawala, Sneha Pant,
Shaan, Udit Narayan, Shweta Pandit, DJ Earl; Ratings: *** Composers
Sajid-Wajid team up to create peppy foot-tapping music for director
David Dhawan's latest flick "Partner". The catchy lyrics and the
innovative use of sounds create masala tracks that will make you
sit up and listen though they may not be the ones you would want to
hear after a few months.
"Soni de nakhre", an out and out Punjabi number sung by Labh and
Sneha, gives the track something to look forward to despite
Sneha's unimpressive rendition. It is a moderately paced
composition with a little punch, which is hardly noticeable and not
the kind one would want to listen twice.
"Do you wanna partner" caught the ears of the audience when the
bare-chested Salman donned the small screen and mouthed these
lyrics in his inimitable style. A kind of track that would have
many doing a jig to its lyrics while many might also change the
channel whenever the track is played.
Bizarre lyrics, penned by Sanjay Chel, might surprise you but what
else could expect in a David Dhawan movie. The number, crooned by
Udit Narayan and Shaan, incorporates some Indian hip-hop tunes and
also average classical music, making it a complete hotchpotch.
DJ Earl's robust rapping makes an entry in "You're my love".
It's an average number sung by Shaan and Shweta Pandit. It also
incorporates sounds of a lot of instruments including the flute.
It's very obvious that despite an ardent effort to make the track
enjoyable to hear, it doesn't creates very little impression.
"Maria Maria" gives the audience a taste of Latin music. Sung by
Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan, the song is likeable yet
forgettable.
A likely hit in the making is "Dupatta tera nau rang da". It makes
one assume that there's plenty of dancing here too. Sonu and Kunal
Ganjawala croon for the protagonists while Shreya Ghoshal fills in
for the female lead.
The song has great tempo and showcases techno sounds.
With a variety of singers on board, the masses should end up liking
at least one song in the entire album. For Sajid and Wajid, the
decision to make the soundtrack for "Partner" was a safe bet.
