After Ra.One, i am back with another of Vishal-shekhar’s soundtracks-Dirty Picture.Based on Tamil Sex Symbol-Silk Smitha’s life and set in 1980′s,one can expect some corny and disco tracks that were common in that era dominated by Bappi Lahiri songs.
True to belief,the album starts with a song sung by Shreya Ghoshal and of course Bappida-Oh la la,Tu hai meri fantasy.Full of corny lyrics,this one is a total jhakas 80′s song but other than that fact it is just an ordinary number.Far better corny songs were made in the 80′s but this is a good one and will be [is already ] a hit.It’s dhol mix is pretty average and can be skipped.
Up next,Comes Ishq Sufiyana sung by reality show winner Kamaal khan and picturised on Emraan Hashmi,is quite obviously a soft romantic sufi number which is heavily inspired by Ouatim’s cult song ‘Pee Loon’.It’s a good number but stands nowhere close to Pee loon.
This song also comes in a female version-sung by Sunidhi Chauhan.The female version is not as good as the male one as Sunidhi’s voice is not suitable for the sufi genre.
Next Comes Honeymoon ki raat-a bad corny number with disco beats which might look good on screen if picturised well according to the situation.This one has vocals by the Seductive Voice of Sunidhi Chauhan.
The final track is Twinkle Twinkle,sung by Shreya Ghoshal & Rana Mazumder is another typical 80′s song with lyrics like ‘thirsty thirsty ankhen teri,tasty tasty bahein meri’ is better avoidable even though it again pays tribute to Panchamda-this time by Rana Mazumder singing in Panchamda’s iconic style.
The whole album is quite a nice reminder to the music of the 80′s but does not have enough ammunition to better the stuff produced like this in the 80′s.
