Bollywood's propensity for south remakes continues with Rohit Shetty's latest action venture Singham with his unwavering affiliation with Ajay Devgun as lead. Expectations are kept in check as the flick is mainly action oriented thus leaving miniscule scope for music to make any impingement. But the album does spring a surprise with reasonabally hummable tunes which one hardly assosiates with such venturesCredit goes to debutant music composers Ajay-Atul for breaking such monotony.
Album starts on a roaring note with the title track Singham .which is akin to the dabangg tiitle track in terms of its music arrangements and attitude. The beat of drum and dhols in background provide it the required grandeur and succeeds in leaving a powerful impact on listeners.Vocals by Sukhwinder enhance the beauty of the song by lending the rustic flavor to the proceedings. Certainly a song that a single screen patron would vouch for!
Second track Saathiya sung mellifluously by Shreya Goshal with able support from Ajay Gogavale is poles apart from the first track, thus lending some versatality to the album. The song is easy on ears and will find patronage after two-three hearings.The song acts as a slow poison which might take time to enthrall your senses but once it does its difficult to dethrone from your system.
Next in line is the last track yes! the last original track , Maula Maula sung by Kunal Gaanjawala and Richa Sharma is a sufi number which gives a feeling of deja-vu due to its run of the mill music treatment which gives the vibes of songs composed by Salim -Sulaiman earlier. The song is somehow saved by the skillful singing of the duo and might appeal once the movie hits the marque.
Apart from the above three original tracks, there is a remix version for each which work as a value addition and thus provide some length to this surprisingly short musical stint, so listeners get some value for their money spent.
The music of Singham seems to be true to its name and is a commendable debut from the musical duo Ajay-Atul who have music of some hit marathi movies in their repository.This makes us look forward to their new venture the remake of Agneepath in which I have a feeling they will show their true colors leaving beside any in-habitations that most of the debutantes have to confront with in their respective debut ventures.
Picks:- Singham, Saathiya
