the music review of dhoom 2

in a phrase the music ROCKS !!!

pritam has my vote for the music composer for the year.

cant stop listening to "dhoom again".its got this amazin beat to it, which though has the original dhoom influence has great brazilian and latin american effect which takes the song to newer hieghts. lyrics in english just add to the charisma of the whole song. I read somewhere that pritam used garage sounds as well as any metal he could find in the yash raj studios to add to the latino sound

“crazy kiya re” is nice as well. Nice fusion between Indian classical [ tabla and flute r used nicely] and western and south American sounds, with a some techno added as dhania. I think this is gonna be picturised on aishwaria and this would add 2 the song

the “crazy remix” has also been well done. Listenin 2 it with a good speaker system would be like eating gelato instead of amul tri cone [ not that amul tri cone is bad, but gelato is much much better]

touch me has the classical yet modern latino touch to it. With nice interludes and equally nice vocals [KK & alisha take the cake again !!] this could very well be the next foot stomper every where.

The most fuck all aspect of this other wise brilliant album is “my name is ali”. I think this song has been added as ali’s [uday bhau] papa and bhayyia have paid for every thing. This is absolutely trashy and I just hope this song is deleted in the final cut. This looks like a cheap run down version of dilbara where ali goes after the chick, albeit w/o the same effect. Nothing more about this song shall be said

“Dil laga na” again gets me rockin into the dhoom mood after “ali” nice play on the lyrics “dil laga dil jala.. dil laga na diljale se dil jal jayega” pritam easily makes a great long island ice tea[ teetotalers read bhel puri] with Punjabi latino with a bit of qawali twist.. add a dash of the original dhoom tune and u got a modern classic.

Just cant wait 2 see all these dances. If the sounds have any effect on the choreographer then these dances alone would be worth the ticket as would aish and AB jr and Hrithik [not the chimp uday].
