Some critics in Bollywood have labelled ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ as a true blue musical. Due to a delayed release because of the Babri Masjid verdict, the expectations have slowly soared to a great high. Though the year so far has seen some good musical scores, [intlink id="1424" type="post"]Anjaana Anjaani[/intlink] has pitched itself quite strongly as a film where music is its key strength. Here’s the music review of this [intlink id="1582" type="post"]Ranbir Kapoor[/intlink] and Priyanka Chopra starrer.

Anjaana Anjaani Music Review
The album has a spirited start with ‘Anjaana Anjaani Ki Kahani’, a club track. Once heard a couple of times in entirety, this Neelesh Misra song grows and how. Boasting of a mix of Hindi and English lyrics, it has a late 70s/early 80s feel to it. Call it a coincidence and the fact that it is picturised on Ranbir Kapoor; you do tend to draw a parallel with the kind of dance numbers that Rishi Kapoor was seen during his heydays. ‘Anjaana Anjaani Ki Kahani’ should find itself rising up the popularity chart.
Hairat is perhaps one of the best songs on the album and requires just one listening though to qualify as I-want-it-on-my-iPod material. High on liveliness, absolutely youthful and energetic, ‘Hairat’ has been crooned by Lucky Ali, 50+ in age. Lucky Ali can still gets the kind of mood rolling which could make many a younger singers feel shy. Written by Vishal Dadlani, hairat will definitely be on the lips of Bollywood music buffs.
After an extended high energy outing comes ‘Aas Paas Khuda’, a song that has Rahat Fateh Ali Khan crooning a slow, subdued and restrained song. ‘Aas Paas Khuda’ requires only a few listenings before one settles down to the sound. Written by Vishal Dadlani with Shekhar Ravjiani, ‘Aas Paas Khuda’ is about the protagonist being inspired to be positive and trust in the almighty.
Following this is ‘Tumse Hi Tumse’ , a number which could well have been a Valentine Day special, ‘Tumse Hi Tumse’ has a Vishal-Shekhar stamp to it when it comes to simplicity. Written by Amitabh Bhattacharya and Anvita Dutt with Caralisa Monteiro contributing to the English Lyrics, ‘Tumse Hi Tumse’ is a modern day romantic track for a lazy coffee outing.

‘Tujhe Bhula Diya’ is a lounge song, with Shruti Pathak handling the folksy vocals for a splendid kick-start. However, ‘Tujhe Bhula Diya’ is a Mohit Chauhan number all the way as he gets the perfect mood for something that otherwise would have gone unnoticed as a ‘dard-e-judaai’ track.
‘I Feel Good’ – and one does end up feeling good by the time this song appears, is a Vishal Dadlani song. This is one of my favourites after Hairat and makes me wonder why they did not put such a nice song towards the top of the album. ‘I Feel Good’ is a western teenage love song which you should definitely listen to.
There’s a second title track in the album – Anjaana Anjaani. Really, this song written by Kausar Munir (with Irshad Kamil contributing with chorus lyrics) could well have been at the very top out there, it’s so good. Chirpy and full of energy, this is one song which defines the movie.
Conclusion
Anjaana Anjaani is a fantastic album and it shows in each and every song that makes an appearance here. This one has a classy touch all through with a mix of club tracks (Hairat, Anjaana Anjaani Ki Kahani) and soulful songs (Tujhe Bhula Diya, Anjaana Anjaani) that rock the show in a big way. While Vishal-Shekhar can pride themselves on coming up with something that justifies a certain quality that one expects from their soundtrack, the makers (Sajid, Siddharth) can be rest assured that this is their best work till date.
