Band Baaja Baaraat 2010 Music Review

A film with weddings as the backdrop. A young couple. North India. Yash Raj Films. Fun. Frolic. Colours. Celebrations. Band. Baaja. Baaraat.

With elements like these, what else do you expect but a rollicking music score that doesn't let the fun element drop down even for a single moment. Films belonging to similar genre, Dil Bole Hadippa and Badmaash Company, had music by Pritam. However this time around, YRF has entrusted composer duo of Salim-Sulaiman and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya to do the needful. Do they deliver? Of course yes and in fact a lot more.

It's a Dev D kind of a start (hence reminding of Amit Trivedi's style of composition) with 'Ainvayi Ainvayi'. However, one minute into the song and you know that there is going to be no turning back for Salim-Sulaiman as they get the Punjabi milieu bang on for this club dance track that gets on you by the time you are just in the middle of the track, let alone finishing hearing the entire song.

Salim Merchant and Sunidhi Chauhan are totally engrossed into the song as one can visualise them dancing and not just singing 'Ainvayi Ainvayi' which has chartbuster written all over it. Add to that some fun lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya and you know that you won't have enough of this song even after you are through hearing its 'Dilli Club Mix' track that has Master Salim pairing up with Sunidhi Chauhan.

The way 'Tarkeebein' begins, you know that it is a Yash Raj composition, especially the kind that one associates with their urban flicks now. There is a certain classy feel to the proceedings as Salim-Sulaiman put together a tune for singer Benny Dayal as they pair up to get a new age mood bang on. With Salim also joining Benny behind the mike, 'Tarkeebein' has a slightly haunting feel to it with an A.R. Rahman touch as well which makes it sound totally different from 'Ainvayi Ainvayi'.
