Here’s my music review of BLUE. The first underwater movie of India. Probably, the most expensive movie ever to hit the Indian movie industry. It is not a coincidence that two of the most expensive movies of Bollywood so far, Kambakkht Ishq and BLUE had Akshay Kumar as the hero. This shows the tremendous confidence the producers have in him when it comes to raking in the moolah. Hats off to Akki. !!!!
Well, coming to the music of this movie. It has A.R. Rehman composing music. This is the first time that A.R. Rehman is scoring music for an Akshay Kumar movie. As an Akshay Kumar fan, I had huge expectations from the album and it didn’t disappoint me.!!!
As they say, A.R. Rehman’s music is like slow poison. The more you hear it the more you like it. It is true even with this album as well. When I first heard the album, only two songs caught my imagination. But now after repeatedly listening to the album, I can say that there are 5 to 6 great songs and have the potential to be chartbusters. In fact, some of them already are. !!!
The album starts with Chiggy Wiggy, the much-hyped song featuring Kylie Minogue, the Australian popstar. The song definitely has an international feel to it in the initial two minutes. But honestly, I couldn’t understand the lyrics initially except for Chiggy wiggy.!!! I am sure this is going to be the case even with an average music buff in India. But we are in for a pleasant surprise after two minutes when the great Sonu Nigam enters the scene. There is a rustic feel to it the moment he comes in and the song takes a completely different route from here on in. I am damn sure that people are going to love this song from this part onwards. All in all, a wonderful song and catchy from the moment you listen to it. Final verdict. Definite chartbuster !!!!
Second in the album is Aaj Dil Gustaakh hai . This has a distinctly cool and simple feel to it. It is reminds you of beach songs, seriously. Sukwinder Singh and Shreya Ghoshal are behind the microphone for this song. This song confuses me always. Sometimes I like it . Sometimes I don’t. It is good in parts. This may not a big hit but it is definitely a timepass kind of song. Final verdict. Average song.!!!!
Third is Fiqraana. Music for the first 10 seconds reminds you of title song of Delhi-6 and also Kaise Mujhe tum milgaye from Ghajini, both of which are Rehman compositions. But the similarity ends just there as Fiqraana is a completely different song from the other two. This is a song which will catch your imagination the very first time you hear. It is just awesome and pumps in the adrenaline. Sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Vijay Prakash who also has the song Lat Uljhi from Yuvvraaj to his credit. This comes as a surprise as Lat Uljhi was a complete classical song and Vijay Prakash does great justice to this song. In fact, he is fantastic. A trivia – This song was supposed to be sung by Farhan Akhtar but he declined the offer due to some unknown reasons. Final verdict. Definite Chartbuster !!!!
Fourth in line is a slow sad song Bhoola Tujhe by Rashid Ali who sang Kabhi Kabhi Aditi from Jaane Tu Ya jaane na. When I first heard this song, I didn’t like it that much but after 2-3 hearings, this touched my heart. seriously. Lyrics are pretty well written for this song and Rashid Ali does well in this song. This song puts in a calm influence on you. It is pretty decent and I must say has the potential to be a big hit. Final verdict. Good song !!!
Next comes Blue Theme Music . Mark my words. This will just blow you away. Truly amazing. Sung by a host of singers. This is bound to raise goosebumps all over. Will act as a perfect charger for everyone. Magnificent. The more you listen to this the more it captivates you. I must say such a song can be created only by the maestro A.R. Rehman. Final verdict. Definite Chartbuster.!!!!!
After this comes Rehnuma. It starts as a slow romantic number. Somewhat similar to many songs sung by Alisha Chinai but soon goes into a completely different orbit. Once it reaches its crescendo. it is just ethereal. I am sure people are going to love this after 2-3 hearings. Sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal, this is going to be a rocking ride. Oh yes. You will love it and I am sure this will be a chartbuster soon. Final verdict. Definite chartbuster. !!!!!
Last song in the album is Yaar Mila tha. Sung by the melodious duo, Udit Narayan and Madhushree. This is a typical shararat wala song of a Hindi film but you will be in for a pleasant surprise. Udit Narayan and Madhushree make this great song even more wonderful with their soothing voice. This will be a major hit particularly in the Hindi belt. Final verdict. Definite Chartbuster.!!!!
Overall the album has Five chartbusters, One good song and one average song. I am sure this is one of the best albums of this year. So far this year, I thought Love Aaj kal was the best album but now I have second thoughts after listening to BLUE. I won’t be surprised if this emerges as the best album of this year. Truly magnificent album. Go get it!!!!!
RATING : 4.5 / 5
