Go Get the 8x10


We've finally got the soundtrack of Akshay's upcoming thriller, and my first impression was that the music was very fitting to the movie in the sense that it is experimental. This is not your average Bollywood soundtrack, and that's because this is not your average Bollywood movie.

We start with "Nazaara Hai," performed by Vishal Dadlani, and it's got a hard rock tone to it, reminiscent of Lucky Ali's "Maut" from Kaante. Interesting sound and deep lyrics make this a memorable one.

We move on to the romantic "Haafiz Khuda," sung by Mohit Chauhan & Tulsi Kumar. It's an extremely relaxed song, not for the clubs, but definitely for the living room.

"Aaja Maahi" by Neeraj Shreedhar and Tulsi Kumar is a beautiful tune, something on the calibre of Aladdin's "A Whole New World." I'm of the opinion that any Neeraj song has got to be a keeper. Play this one when your girlfriend is in the car (or the couch).

Next is Bohemia's "I Got the Picture." You already know my feelings on this one, and if not see an earlier post entitled "Bohemia & Akshay At It Again." Excellent song with excellent lyrics, although I still wish Akshay rapped in it as well. Good career choice for Bohemia, especially before the April 9 release of his third album, Da Rap Star.

Another duet from Mohit and Tulsi, "Kuchh Is Tarah," brings a feeling similar to "Haafiz Khuda." Definitely sets a chilled out atmosphere.

The rest are remixes, give them a miss. Keep an eye out for the film though, releasing on April 3. The soundtrack has got a variety, from a hip hop tune to an adrenaline inducing hard rock jam. Worth the purchase.
