Abhay Deol and Neha Dhupia team up for the first time in "Ek Chalis Ki Last Local l", which is already doing the rounds on the music channels
on television. With an array of composers, the soundtrack does have variety
but not every number turns out a winner.
The best of the lot is "Laree choote", a track that totally
captures you and makes you want to hear it again and again. Abhay begins
it with a prose couplet and returns occasionally to rap in the song,
which doesn't sound bad at all. Harmony makes the track sound even better
while the orchestra goes full boom. With a whole lot of musicians on
board, this number also includes Pakistani band, Call.
Another good number is "Bheegi seeli si". Typically a romantic
song, it is interspersed with jazz and is likely to find a huge audience.
Its USP: the entire song is a one man's show. Ankur Tiwari has not only
penned the lyrics but also composed and sung the track himself.
Then comes "Akh". Unlike the first two, the song is lacklustre
and dreary. It opens in two versions - "Akh" (Film) and "Akh"
(Dance) and both are equally bad.
Alisha Chinoy and Sandesh Shandilya croon to "Ekka chauka",
a song that makes for good listening as it is different in its appeal
and doesn't sound like a typical Bollywood number.
"Panga" follows next with Alisha and Sonu Nigam doing the
vocals, so it's obviously shot on the lead pair. Quite an okay number
when you compare it with the rest but as an individual track it doesn't
really excite. Composed by DJ Aqueel and Sanjeev and written by Mehboob,
it is the kind that sounds good during the course of the movie but not
on one's i-pod.
The album "Ek Chalis Ki Last Local l" offers a mixed bag for
listeners..
