Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Shankar-Ehsan-Loy, the trio have once again produced melodious and hit soundtracks living every bit to the expectations of their fans.
The trio known for their melodious and super hit soundtracks in films like "DCH","Kal Ho Na Ho" and "Taare Zameen Par", have done it again for Karan Johar's film "Wake up Sid", starring Ranbir Kapoor and Konkana Sen Sharma. There are six songs, five original soundtracks and one is a remix.
The title track "Wake Up Sid" sung by Shankar Mahadevan is a sweet and entertaining song with strong musical backing. The song certainly has a idiosyncratic SEL zing to it.
It also has a "Club Mix" version which does not have any drastic changes in flow or the rhythm. This version is little more upbeat than the original one. The song,"Aaj kal zindagi" is a soft, soothing and inspirational song crooned by Shankar Mahadevan himself. The song reminds of "Kaisi hai Ye Rut" ),begins slowly and picks up momentum gradually. The song belongs to the genre which will definitely be liked by peple who like their music to be soft.
"Kya Karoon" is an average feel good kind of song voiced by Clinton Cerejo. Cerejo's unconventional voice goes along well with the song.
"Iktara" is by far the best one among the lot. Fantastic song sung by Kavitha Seth and Amitabh Bhattacharya, with good lyrics and superb and soulful composition by Amit Trivedi (yeah right, the Dev-D one).You are bound to love this song.
Finally there is "Life is crazy", another foot-tapping number crooned by Shankar Mahadevan and Uday Benegal.
Verdict: One of the better sound-tracks for this year.Watch out for "Iktara".
