The beats are swinging, Neeraj Shridhar and Sunidhi Chauhan are back for the party, the lyrics are fun and so is the picturization.
Next up, Chor Bazaari – a charming song, with a happy guitar riff that sounds like some country song I have heard but can’t put a finger on. Don’t make royals sweat! Put him in tight surf-wear t-shirts, jeans and a swagger and we’re good. This is one case where I prefer the Remix to the original.Īllow me one dismayed question to the choreographer – why are you making Saif do such intensive dancing? He can’t dance! No. However, the lively take of the Nagin riff sounds fresh and you get into it. I’ll let you come to your conclusions, but in the first listen this repetition annoyed me considerably, coming so soon after Aahun Aahun. The song borrows the Nagin riff (the whole sapera bit), overlays beats, and gets Neeraj Shridhar singing the words We Twist, We Twist, again in a row, 16 times. Twist is another number that reminds me of Vishal-Shekhar’s Ab To Forever from Ta Ra Rum Pum. C’mon, Irshad Kamil, three is okay, six is excessive, but thirteen in a row is you not coming up with something smarter for a sardar-y Saif to mouth. The song Aahun Aahun starts off promisingly enough – there is a traditional voice singing ‘Kadi te hassi bol ve’ with some good beats similar to the kind that Vishal-Dadlani like to use, with some odd clucking sounds thrown in for effect.

Neeraj Shridhar has since made a successful foray into Hindi film singing – although I don’t think he has been given songs that take him beyond (refer to Tera Mera Pyar feat. No idea why? Well, to the uninitiated, Neeraj Shridhar is the lead vocalist of Bombay Vikings, the Swedish-Indian group responsible for highly enjoyable Hinglish remixes of several songs. This time around, for the jovial, Punjabi-flavored Aaj Din Chadheya.īarring Mohit Chauhan and Raahat Fateh Ali Khan, this album sounds like a Bombay Vikings album. Mohit Chauhan for belting out a real smooth Dooriyan, and any time Raahat Fateh Ali Khan so much as appears in the liner notes, it’s a yes yes yes. Good effort for a fresh remix of the Nagin anthem on Twist (Remix). Picks: For the charming country riff, Chor Bazaari.
