After the huge success of "Saawariya", expectations were high
from composer Monty Sharma's next work. But sadly, the music of "Chamku"
disappoints. The album has six tracks but none of them can be termed brilliant.
"Aaja milke" starts the album on a sweet note. A romantic
number, it has been perfectly rendered by Shreya Ghoshal. Known for
giving her best shot to romantic tracks, Shreya does a splendid job.
The lyrics are impressive and go well with the music.
Richa Sharma croons the next track titled "Kithe Jawa". Her
voice is suitable for folk songs, but Monty Sharma makes her sing the
number that is interspersed with Western influences. The song is just
an average piece.
"Gola gola" continues with the rustic theme and is sung by
Abhijeet Bhattacharya and Vaishali Samant. It isn't a very interesting
number.
Next is "Trance". This track comes out of the blue and strikes
you with its Western touch. Lyrics are nice and the music is quite heady
and unheard of in Bollywood. But how popular this song by Soumya Raoh,
Anaida and Saleem Shahzada will become is yet to be seen.
"Dukh ke badri" is another average song rendered by Parthiv
Gohil, Shail and Kalpana. The lyrics have been penned by Sameer. This
slow, sentimental track is quite avoidable.
On the whole, the "Chamku" album is unimpressive. Of all
the songs, "Aaja Milke" can be termed the best, but otherwise,
the album is really not recommended.
