Aloo Chaat needs a bit more masala.

Aloo Chaat was a highly anticipated soundtrack, especially because it marks RDB’s next Bollywood venture after the success of “Singh is Kinng” with Akshay Kumar and Snoop Dogg. Let’s see how it turned out.

1. “Aloo Chaat (Title Song)” – This is the track that got all the hype because it was done by RDB and their newcomer, Nindy Kaur. Pretty average tune, especially for RDB. We definitely expect more from an RDB track besides an extremely annoying voice that sounds like a mix between Fat Man Scoop and Lil Jon, and a random, mediocre MC named Smooth. Nindy Kaur’s vocals sound fairly promising for the future, but this song was a bad launch for her career.

2. “Dhadke Jiya” – Another Bollywood tune from Xulfi of Call the Band. Xulfi set the bar high for himself with Ek Chalis Ki Last Local’s “Laree Choote,” and recently dropped another nice song in Aasma called “Yeh Pal.” He delivers again on Aloo Chaat with “Dhadke Jiya,” and I’d go so far as to say it’s the best song on the album.

3. “Aloo Chaat” – Another version of the title song by Kailash Kher. It’s got an upbeat tempo, Kailash Kher’s amazing voice, and I could say I enjoyed it more than the RDB version, but that's not saying much.

4. “Boliyaan (Gidhaa)” – RDB and Nindy Kaur return with this tune, but unfortunately do not redeem themselves. It’s definitely a decent boliyaan, but once again, we don’t expect decent from RDB.

5. “Life is a Sizzling Aloo Chaat” – After simply reading the title of this song, I didn’t expect much. However, Kunal Ganjawala gives us a pretty good song minus the chorus. I actually really enjoyed this one, so it goes to show that you can’t judge a book by its cover.

Tracks six through eight are remixes of “Dhadke Jiya,” “Aloo Chaat,” and “Boliyaan (Gidhaa).” I feel like every Bollywood soundtrack these days includes a few remixes at the end for filler that are mediocre at best. They’re pretty pointless, actually, unless on occasion you get one by a known deejay like DJ Suketu. That wasn’t the case here, so skip the remixes.

With such a stellar recording team, including RDB, Xulfi, Kailash Kher, and Kunal Ganjawala, I expected more from Aloo Chaat. The only song that’s worth the listen is the Xulfi track, otherwise you could give this one a miss. Buy “Dhadke Jiya” on Itunes and call it a day.
