Even so the lacklustre Rangila relies on fancily uttered Vande Matarams, by the chorus, to force a listener to pay attention. The vibrancy and richness of Prasoon Joshi's pen particularly stand out. Basically a functional composition it is never close to extraordinary. It's time for filmi jingoism in the form of Des Rangila. Rendered soulfully by Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan, the romantic rhapsody takes its own sweet time to grow on the listener. But the occasional voiceovers by Fanaa's lead protagonists - Aamir Khan and Kajol - grate on your nerves. Listen to it and you'll know what I mean. The first thing that strikes you about Mere haath mei is the arrangement by Salim-Sulaiman is clearly inspired by A R Rahman's style. Chand sifarish is featured once again in a zippy and rocking avatar as the club mix version, Fanaa for you by DJ Aqueel. Incidentally, the song features a whistle theme, which is the tune of the unused Yaara yaara from Hum Tum. Well versed and rhythmic in melody, the vibrant number is an instant hit on the senses. The album opens with Shaan and Kailash Kher's contrasting vocal presences in Chand sifarish. Here, in trying to do something different, J-L ends up dishing an uninspired score, which can be rated above average at best. Jatin-Lalit's music hardly takes the uncharted route and is mostly pleasing.

But its soundtrack is a stinging disappointment.

There is no way this hype will stop from building if it happens to be a Yash Raj film directed by one of its prot�g�es, Kunal Kohli ( Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Hum Tum ).įanaa is right there in terms of all the promotional publicity surrounding it. That it happens to be her comeback film post- Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham only adds fuel to the hype factor. That is enough to get the audience interested. The thing about hype is, it only exceeds.
