Slated to be one of the most anticipated movies of September, Khoobsurat(2014) is all set to hook the audience in an endearing journey of modern day romance and comedy set against a traditional backdrop. The flick marks the Bollywood debut of Pakistan's versatile actor Fawad Khan alongside the chirpy fashionista Sonam Kapoor. Loosely based on the 1980 film of the same title, Khoobsurat is launched under the Disney's banner and has been directed by Shashanka Ghosh. Producers Anil Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor and Siddharth Roy Kapur also roped in Sneha Khanwalkar, of Gangs of Wasseypur [2012] fame to compose the music.
After a September 1, 2014 release, BollyCurry undertakes the
task of giving the album a listen and penned down our thoughts. Read on to see
whether the music is as promising as the trailer.
Punjabi rapper, Badshah, sings his own composed track, "Abhi
Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai" together with Aastha. Also written by Badshah,
the
song easily became an instant favourite for the playlists with its
beguiling lyrics.
Incorporating a fair share of instruments and Badshah's immaculate
rapping. This track also happens to be the promotional track for the
movie, and has already become a huge rage among party-goers.
"Baal Khade" is penned by Sunil Choudhary. Relatively less
hyped than the initial two songs, Sunidhi Chauhan did a remarkable job with the
vocals. The beats of the drums resonate throughout the song giving it a
traditional feel; however, it ceases to gain the desired effect.
Jasleen Kaur Royal sings "Preet" to glory. Soothingly soft
and beautiful, this track is one that tugs at the listener's heartstrings. Amitabh Verma
penned the amazing lyrics whilst the music makes it a memorable track. Eliminating
any messy instrumentals and heavy background score, the song is bound to be a
chartbuster.
Priya Panchal and Mauli Dave team up to conclude the album
with "Maa Ka Phone". With lyrics by Sneha Khanwalkar and Amitabh Verma, the
repeated chorus tends to get out of control a minute into the track. The beats
are catchy and head bobbing, but nothing interesting otherwise.
Khoobsurat's album is
short indeed however, it is average at best. Nonetheless, this immediately
raises the expectation level for the movie itself. Khoobsurat is expected to release in the theatres on the 19th
September, 2014 and BollyCurry wishes the entire team success for their
venture. Be sure to give the album a listen and tell us your thoughts in the
