Talaash - Music Review

Delhi Belly belongs to that small list of movies I’ve seen in the past 2 years where the music played an equally important role as the film. A man named Ram Sampath came into the limelight giving us the unforgettable Bhaag DK Bose ( Why don’t people like Saigal Blues is beyond me ) and once again he teams up with Aamir Khan in his upcoming film titled Talaash – The Answer Lies Within.

The album kicks off with Muskaanein Jhooti Hai. Picturised on Kareena, Muskaanein belongs to the girl singing in the bar category of song. It’ll take some time for the song to grow on you. Not that bad a number. But give me Tinka Tinka and Kaisi Yeh Paheli over this one any day. That said , I must listen to Tinka Tinka again ( love that song ).

My expectations went up a notch when I read Vishal Dadlani’s name besides Jee Le Zara. Ever since heard Madari from Coke Studio (listen to it at least thrice a day), I have fallen in love with the Pentagram singer’s voice. And I’m saying this without any bias but Jee Le Zara has taken my love for the man to a higher notch. If there’s a song that you listen  again and again after hearing it for the first time , Jee Le Zara is that song. Kya Gaaya Hai Boss , Maan Gaye .

For the first 40 seconds , Jiya Lage Na gave me an indication that the song would be a slow number . But from that moment on , Sampath takes the song to another level completely. Good vocals by Sona Mohapatra and Ravindra Upadhyay . Pay closer attention to the lyrics and I liked the song even more . For some , Jiya Lage Na would seem orthodox and in some cases loud . The thing I'm looking forward to most here is the picturization in the movie. 

Going by the trailers of the movie , Talaash belongs to the crime mystery and thriller genre. Using the lyrics that reiterate this , Sampath gives us Hona Hai Kya . A ' telling the theme of the movie ' kind of song. If that's what the music director was paid to do , he's done well I must say.

I knew Laakh Duniya Kahe would be a song I'll end up liking just after hearing the first two lines. And with each passing second of this number , you'll love it even more. Mr Ram Sampath ( who has sung the song ) , why don't you come out with more music . I should be asking this to the directors and producers who make the movies for there is a man waiting to be explored. A good romantic track after a long time. Mr. Sampath , wherever you are . A very big thank you for this song.

The last song in the album is the remix version of Jee Le Zara . I was still in awe of the original number. This number will play in a lot of gym's and parties ( I DJ at both venues ) . Given a choice between the two , I'd pick the former. 

Just 6 songs , but boy is the music of Taalash good . Ram Sampath has just earned himself a new fan. If I had to get over the music of Jab Tak Hai Jaan , Talaash was just the thing I needed.

Songs that you will download - All of them .

Songs that you will download and tell others to listen to - Laakh Duniya Kahe , Jee Le Zara . 

I'm going with 3.5/5 for the music of Aamir Khan's upcoming movie . These 6 songs have surely created the hype/buzz that the movie needed. Good Job , Mr Ram .
