The Music of Tees Maar Khan – some quick thoughts!

Farah Khan teams up with Akshay Kumar, in a Shirish Kunder script with music by Vishal Shekhar (and Shirish Kunder). The curiosity level is sky-high! After two back to back big hits that both had chart-buster type music, Farah chose to branch out on her own and produce and direct a film for her own production house – and to do it without her regular star, Shahrukh Khan. Tees Maar Khan was written by Shirish and with Akshay Kumar in mind. We were told that Sheila ki Jawaani a blockbuster gift from Farah to Katrina Kaif and it will be the Mother of all Item songs, leaving Munni Badnaam Hui biting the dust in its wake.
So what does the music of Tees Maar Khan offer?
The title track has Sonu Niigaam singing in 54 different voices (including an Akshay Kumar impression) and accents (including a faux Chinese one!). This track is composed by Shirish Kunder. There is an opening musical interlude that reminds one of the track sung by Ashanti in Bride and Prejudice and this is no doubt the “hook” that will be the Tees Maar Khan theme.

Break Ke Baad updated with music review & stills

Adhoore and Ajab lehar are trademark Vishal Shekhar; if the former is catchy and beautifully uptempo, the latter’s orchestration makes all the difference! Prasoon Joshi makes his impact wonderfully in Dhoop ke makaan, while Shekhar and Sunidhi are in scintillating form with their vocals. Monica ‘Shaa’ir’ Dogra competes proficiently with Vishal’s already impeccable singing in the ebullient and rock’ish Dooriyan. Main jiyoonga is the only track that sounds arduous, but the composing duo cleverly iron out the edges in its consummate English version, Don’t worry about me! It’s a delightful feeling to see Vishal Shekhar deliver great music so consistently!

I jiust heard the Break ke baad album - and it is actually quite nice, mellow and soothing.  I could not figure out how such contemplative songs will fit into a romcom with Imraan!  Hoepfully the movie does justice to the songs.  Have yet to listen to Guzaarish, though from the promos the music is lacking the Bhansali touch...  His films in the past had some fine music.
