The
lifestyle of metropolitan cities seems to be getting major
foothold in tinsel town as another multifaceted and
multistarrer social drama SIRF - LIFE LOOKS GREENER ON THE
OTHER SIDE comes out in the marquee. Like many consequential
low budget flicks, this film propels out impressively with
new composer Sohail Sen in the drivers seat while pop diva
Shibani Kashyap delivers out modestly as guest composer. The
album has its brightest aspects in couple of enthralling
tracks but overall the album stems out to be just another
honest effort with no major surprises. |

Track 1 -
Pehla Woh Pyar Kunal Ganjawala gets into high
octave singing in energizing out the humble and
innocent expressions of first love in upbeat rock
cum jazz musical mode love track 'Pehla Woh Pyar'.
This above average sounding work has varying
arrangements constituting mainly of impressive
violin works, flute notes embellished with
synchronized percussive and keyboard setting mixed
amiably with Kunal's resonating voice. Kunal's
outcry is worth-listening but the mediocre sounding
composition fails to evolve any great spark.

Track 2 -
Life Peeche Peeche Shibani Kashyap tries to
turn another leaf of her short stint 'filmi' career
by churning out an expression of dreams and
aspirations set in backdrop of metro centric life in
average sounding 'Life Peeche Peeche'. After
insignificant 'Kashmakash' (SUNDAY), Shibani tries
to rekindle emotions of over aspired lifestyle in
slick metro cities that were earlier displayed in
tracks like 'Is Pal Ki Soch' (HALLA BOL) in typical
pub crooner singing mode. Shibani delivers the |
|
 |
|
|
needful but still the gleam of mood enchantment is
missing in this presumed to be effective situational
background score track.
Track 3 - Ghar Tera Ghar Mera Sohail Sen's
lovable n mushy overtures impresses to the core in
the mellifluously composed track 'Ghar Tera Ghar
Mera', a sweet expression of emotions about subtlety
of togetherness mesmerized with a flair of
romanticism. Shaan along with Shreya Ghoshal excels
to magnificence in this 'semi-ghazal cum ballad'
format. It exudes out mellowed sentiments of 'dream
house' with a strong inspirational affixation to
Jagjit Singh-Chitra Singh everlasting melody 'Yeh
Tera Ghar' (SAATH SAATH (1982)). It's likely to be
brightest spark in appreciating glamour and romantic
quotient of the flick and unquestionably an
affirmative characteristic by the upcoming composer. |

Track 4, 8
-
Pehla Woh Pyar After noticeable 'Pehla Woh
Pyar', Kunal Ganjawala gets into poignant
motivational singing mood in delivering out the
vicissitudes of perpetual ups and downs of life in
serene and subtle sounding 'Zindagi Ki Kahani'. This
meaningful and melancholic sounding track comes out
in mellowed 'ghazal' format with strong shades of
Alka Yagnik's popular track 'Saare Sapne Kahin Kho
Gaye' (Album - 'Tum Yaad Gaye') in its composition.
Kunal proves himself to be shinning star of album by
showcasing his |

|
|
|
impeccable vocal talent and this stands out as an
extra ordinary effort for serenading out a classy
feel to the album. If shot aesthetically, it will
surely imprint out an impeccable mark on big screen
for its quality singing and pristine harmonic flows.
Pamela Jain joins briefly to add feminine touches in
its second version that makes this number to be
ideal for ushering sentimental hues in the flick.

Track 5 -
Tujh Pe Fida This time Sohail Sen oils out
his vocal chords along with ear-splitting Tarannum
in a decorum of flashy club dance dancing track
'Tujh Pe Fida'. It has strong Arabic musical flair
in its backdrop but the loud disco beat arrangements
sounds too crassly delivered. Sohail vocals have
impressive shades of Mustafa Zahid sonorous
baritones ('To Phir Aao', 'Tera Mera Rishta'
(AWARAPAAN)) while the composition has bleak
glimpses of 'Tera Mera Rishta'. |
|
 |
|
|
Track 6
- Khel Jo Khele Vinod Rathod optimizes his coarsely
audible vocals in oozing out the virtues of 'gambles of
life' in typical Bollywood's thriller musical mode in 'Khel
Jo Khele'. It has poor cloning of tracks like 'Johnny
Gaddar' (JOHNNY GADDAR) and average sounding 'Ekka Chukka'
(EK CHALIS KI LAST LOCAL) into lackluster musical display.
|
|
Track 7 -
Amchi
Mumbai Our 'Amchi Mumbai' gets fresh salutation with
'Mumbai Nagariya', a happy-go-lucky number showcasing city's
different facades by prominent sounding KK and Tarannum.
This 'rock music' stylish track, presumed to be effective
background score, has simplistic lyrical documentation
highlighting city's hustle-bustle, glory, pain and
sufferings but fails to be heartrending or nostalgic in its
flows. |
|
|
|
Sohail
Sen shines out as the first promising (if not
ground-breaking) composer of this year and accordingly lives
up to expectations in couple of soundtracks. Soundtracks
like 'Ghar Tera Ghar Mera', 'Pehla Woh Pyar' and 'Zindagi Ki
Kahani' shows great promise in its quality display but none
of them guarantees anything chartbusting for this low
profile album. |
