'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' has undergone a complete transformation from its earlier avatar a year ago. And, this has been possible because of extraordinary efforts of Bollywood's perfectionist Aamir Khan. The latter has taken enough pain to pay his gratitude to his uncle whose son Imraan Khan is producing his debut. Since turning a co-producer of the movie , Aamir Khan changed the music director ; he dropped Himesh Reshammiya and chose no less than the best A R Rahman and entrusted the job to him, presumably impressed by the latter's music of 'Jodhaa-Akbar' and 'Ada'. Incidentally, the music is sung by a large number of new faces, besides the biggies like Rahman and Sukhwinder. Interestingly, the movie's director Abbas Tyrewala is also the movie's lyrics writer, and he has given good and meaningful lyrics to the music director.
Let's start with A.R.Rahman's "Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi". This is a funky hit and the acoustic guitar's strings have successfully supported the song. As its title indicates the song uplifts the listener's mood by providing him or her complete relaxation from the worldly worries. Then enters Rashid Ali; his vocals are refreshing and youthful. We may treat it as a lounge number.
Now, comes the hip shaking track "Papu can't dance Sala". This is rendered by young singers like Blaze, Mohd. Aslam, Tanvi, Anupama Deshpande, Benny Dayal, Darshana and Satish Subramanium .This is another good and peppy one. This track has come up very well despite the singers hailing from amongst the younger lot. This track has Remix version as well but Hinglish lyrics haven't fared too well.
The next track is "Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai" by Runa Rizvi, who is the most suitable person for this song. Though this is a slow paced track yet its lyrics are a pleasure to ears. The track has another version, too, sung by Sukhwinder. Since it's a slow paced track, it has turned monotonous.
Now, is the turn of 'Tu Bole Main Boloon'. This is sung by Rehman himself. Again, it's a slow paced track, but with a loud music. Wish Rahman had reduced its sound. This is followed by another track "Nazrein Milaana Nazrein Churaana". This is sung by a team comprising Swetha Bhargave, Naresh Iyer, Satish Chakravarthye, Tanvi, Darshana, Benny Dayal and Anupama Deshpande. This is another good song on the lines of A.R.Rahman though by his younger lot. One cannot miss it and if one misses, he or she will be a loser. The last track of the album is "Kahin To Hogi Woh". This is rendered by Vasundhara Das and Rashid Ali. Though this track is also slow paced but the singers have made it listenable. The credit goes to the lyrics writer. Rashid's voice is sweet and forceful and so is Vasundhara's rendering.
On the whole, the album is good and a listenable one. And, its credit goes to Rahman who has directed the team of his younger lot very well.
