“CHALLA”: Okay a lot has been said about this song and most of it is true. This one is more of rabbi and less of Rahman and almost nil of Gulzar. And Shahrukh khan with a guitar doesn’t help it either. But it is hell catchy a tune – no doubt about that. Right from the opening guitar portions which are superb (falsely alleged by some to be a rip off), this one will be loved by rabbi fans. He sings in his customary style with a bit of besuraapan at places which is now being accepted without much ado (Just as in the case of Atif aslam). Rahman does make sure he puts his customary styled music in between, like that yuvvraaj – ish chorus before the 2 nd antara. Overall it did take quite a few listenings but now I like this one.

She has sung in 2 different scales which have been superimposed upon each other. I don’t quite dig this style. Why not let the singer sing in just one scale? Anyway, the song is already a hit, thanks to a superb video featuring Katrina kaif in an awesome belly dancing avatar (drool..) and salman looking as good as he always does. Sohail sen takes over sajid wajid for the remaining 3 songs of the album. THANK GOD. “LAAPATAA” has a carnival tune, the song reminiscent of “salaami” (Dhoom) in many ...
