Vishal Shekhar not out of beats in Tashan as well. Review on Tashan Songs

This is another hyped about YRF movie to hit the silver screen this

April 25. The promos aired are fun and filled with the glamor element.

The album art and covers are overflowing with “ishtyle”, the

color and typography go in sync with the whole package and help to

build the curiosity about the album itself. The recent promos with the

stars advocating about the movie itself is quite conventional and

overused “pharmoola”. The

music is orchestrated by the dynamic duo Vishal and Shekhar but

interestingly all the song have different lyricist. A package of Tashan

(which I found literally means a blend of style and attitude)

has 9 songs this collection has 5 songs no remixes and four dialog

intros of the four lead actors. Let’s scrutinize each of the songs one

after another.

The album kicks off with “Dil Haara” voiced by Mr. Darde Disco himself Sukhwinder Singh. The lyric for this track is penned by Piyush Mishra and he has done a formidable job, on the

music aspect it has got weight. The Arabic kind beats combined with the

groovy instrumentation makes this trace easy to like and shake a leg.

Next is “Pooja Ka Tashan”

where Kareena blabbering extra heavy god like dialog just spoils the

party environment created by the previous track. Subsequently “Chhaliya” crooned by Sunidhi Chauhan and Piyush Mishra has music that resembles “Na poocho” from cash

in the music department. Keeping the party feel alive this songs also

has the 4/4 beats to keep you moving. Lyrics by Anvita Dutt Guptan is

just average but Sunidhi has executed the song in a brilliant fashion.

Next tashan comes from Saif as “Jimmy Ka Tashan” the dialog is short and interesting . After that, next number is “Dil Dance Maare”

to which again Sukhwinder, Udit Narayan and Sunidhi have lent their

beautiful voices. The hinglish proper Bihari tone lyrics has been

written by Kaushal Munir. This track also has ample percussion with

dhol and everything. The synthetic sounds blended with conventional

instruments, is a plus about this song. Till now the disco environment

is till alive.

At track 6 Akshay perfectly recites “Bacchhan Pande Ka tashan” which depicts his quirky character in the movie. Consequently breaking the groovy atmosphere “Falak tak” with vocals of

Udit Narayan and Mahalaxmi Iyer is a signature Vishal Shekhar romantic

number. Easy on the tempo and use of conventional instruments with

lovely lyrics by Kaushal Munir makes this track stick to your head from

the first listen. Next Anil Kapoor utters “Bhaiyyaji Ka Tashan” which presents he is trying very hard to speak some gud English. Consequently the beats are back with “Tashan Mein”

which is crooned fantastically by one half of the Vishal Shekahr duo

Vishal & Saleem(I guess from the Saleem-Sulaiman duo, they have

collaborated in the past as well). Lyrics penned down by multitalented Vishal

and Piyush Mishra tries to escalate the curiosity about the characters

of the movie. The synthetics sounds and heavy beats still rule this

last song as well.

All in all, the movie seems to be “style over substance” and the music is “beats over melody”.

If you like dance tracks then this is a must buy for you as if might

know that Vishal Shekhar duo has given majority of dance tracks in

their previous ventures(Cash for instance). The music is not that good but goes with the overall look of the film and ok to listen for some times only.

    I had requested about it in mouthpad but was not informed about it being added.
