MUSIC REVIEW : RAB NE BANA DI JODI

November 5th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Music of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, 2008’s most anticipated movie, directed by Aditya Chopra after a gap of 8 years has finally hit the stores. This film has a lot of expectations considering it’s the first release of Shahrukh Khan this year, debutant Anushka Sharma who is creating a lot of buzz among the crowd, combination of Shahrukh and Aditya which created history with DDLJ in 1995, and Yash Raj Films, which are looking for a big hit this year.

In Bollywood, music of the movie plays a vital role in the success of the movie and if the songs are good then half of the battle is won. Looking back at the track record of Salim – Sulaiman, who also gave the music for Chak De India in 2007 and Fashion this year, winning half of the battle doesn’t seem to be a big problem. And yes, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi succeeds in every department. The power of this soundtrack lies in its simplicity. Let’s get a song by song review of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

1. Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai

Roop Kumar Rathod does it again! After making “Maula Mere Maula” a classic with his melodious voice, Roop takes Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai to a whole new level. It requires only one listen to love this song. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this ultimate romantic number. Background vocals add the required mysterious romantic feel to Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai and the music is simple and yet, melodious to ears.

There is also a short version of this song sung beautifully by Shreya Ghoshal. Some of you prefer the short version because it’s too good and also because of the fact that there is only one song of Shreya in the soundtrack.

2. Haule Haule

Haule Haule, the promo song of the movie is already a hit among Shahrukh fans and haters alike. And why not, Haule Haule is the simplest and the most romantic song of 2008 with lyrics so good that you love the song on the very first listen. It’s like love at first sight. I mean how many times have you seen a Harmonium playing an important role in the music of a song in this Hip-Hop era?

Add to that the great voice of Sukhwinder Singh, who is now the voice of Shahrukh Khan, without a doubt. Also worth mentioning is the video of the song which you see on your T.V sets these days. The whole scene was shot in one take. Prodigious!

3. Dance Pe Chance

When I saw the tracklist of the soundtrack, I was little worried about the inclusion of Labh Janjua in Dance Pe Chance. It’s not that he is a bad singer or something but because I can’t see Shahrukh lip-syncing his voice. But O Boy! I was surprised. He turns out to be the strongest link in the whole sing.

When he sings, you can feel the energy which is required for Dance Pe Chance. Going by the lyrics, this song looks like Anushka teaching Shahrukh how to dance. Sunidhi Chauhan has also done a fabulous job and she’ll surely suit Anushka.

A special mention about the music and lyrics, when the song begins, you’ll feel like it’s an average Pritam number, but no, keep listening to the song and wait for the part of Labh Janjua’s part and then you’ll see the difference. It’s a song which is a must inclusion in your I-POD.

4. Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte

Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte is, indubitably, the most creative song of 2008. Music and lyrics of all the classics of golden era of Bollywood has been included in the song. For example; the famous “Yahooooo” by Shammi Kapoor, “Jai Jai Shiv Shankar”, and “Babu Moshai” by Rajesh Khanna from the classic movie, “Anand”.

Two thumbs up for Sonu Nigam, who did the job so well that you just fell in love with the song. Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte shows the genius minds of Salim – Sulaiman, as this song was surely not an easy song to make.

5. Dancing Jodi

Dancing Jodi is basically the instrumental versions of all the songs of the soundtrack just like it was with Jhoom Barabar Jhoom but only better. Calling Dancing Jodi a remix would be wrong and inappropriate. This song is a delight for the dancers who prefer the Indian – Western hybrid music to shake their hips. Kudos to Salim – Sulaiman for a tremendous instrumental version.

Verdict

Verdict- In an age where songs and their remixes are filled with rapping, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi stays away from this. It’s, unequivocally, a gem for the music lovers and the best soundtrack of 2008.

It takes you to those good old days when music was simple and great and at the same time, it has the modern touch to capture universal attention. There is nothing wrong with the soundtrack, no remix, no rapping and most of the songs are of short length which is a big bonus. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is a kaleidoscopic soundtrack which is a must in everyone’s collection. Go out and buy the CD!

    Pretty Average Music …. Apart from Haule Haule and Phir Milenge chalte Chalte rest 4 are below Average ..(personnel Opinion) …

    1.Haule Haule pick of the lot
    2. Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte

    the song dance pe chance is quite cheap , never expected dis from a Srk Starrer bt now days YRF keep churning out cheap music (jhoom barabar Jhoom etc etc)…
    I will give it
    2.5/5

  2. Comment by AksFilmi on 5 November 2008:

  3. Comment by Shahid on 5 November 2008:

    Hi Aks… Shahid here…

    I find the music pretty average.. except for the Haule haule song, which is brilliant. Tuj me is decent, average fare… rest are below average.

    take care…

  4. Comment by jtippu on 5 November 2008:

    i STRONGLY disagree with the reviewer (i don’t believe someone can give it a 5/5). it is a VERY AVERAGE soundtrack, barring haule haule the rest is below average. a huge disappointment for a SRK movie. perhaps weakest SRK music in recent years.

    my verdict 2.5/5

  5. Comment by doc_amit on 5 November 2008:

    a huge disappointment coz we r expecting sum quality work itz slight above avg!!!

    1)Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai

    i cant remember the track in recent times with so much soul in it….i liked mar jawaan from fashion very much and i thought hey its a briliant track but i didn’t had any idea what i’M going to get in rab ne bana di jodi…..its such a mind a blowing track ….

    2)haule haule

    i dont have to tell much about this song….the promos and the feedback this song has got says everything…. such a refreshing song ….SUKHWINDER U ROCK MAN…..absolutely great

    3)dance pe chance

    sunidhi chauhaan is just too good in this song and labh janjua compliments her superbly.the song starts pretty well but in the middle it picks up even more……good job

    4)phir milenge chalte chalte

    very very interesting song….i mean its very different composition and its so catchy….the mixture of old and new music is really commendable….and this is the song where we will se kajol,priyanka,preity,rani in a special appearance….

    5)Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai(shreya ghoshal)

    shreya ghoshal is the best female singer present in bollywood today specially for romantic and sad songs….and this song clear any dought i had earlier….super singing and super composition….

    THE ONLY WORD COMES IN MY MIND AFTER LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM IS

    “SIMPLICITY AT ITS BEST”

    Let the Anti SRK say whatever they want to say, it seems that they are * upto something **, so, doesn’t matter, GOD is with SRK, so, fans and freinds don’t worry, the film is going to be the huge and everlasting hit…

  14. Comment by Bello shahrukh on 5 November 2008:

    Awesome collection, ilike all the songs.

  15. Comment by Shaan Khan on 5 November 2008:

    You know what is so boring ?

    The same old complaints from the same old Bachchanistas (I don’t give a flying fig if they come here now as AK’s fan or Salman’s fans). They said the same things about CDI’s music and it became a national anthem. The said the same things (almost) about OSO’s music and it became a hit. I remember they said that they were shocked about Veer Zaara’s poor quality and not surprisingly Veer Zaara’s music broke all records.

    Hence my friends, fellow members of the FK ferternity, let me say that the Bachchanista’s whining is a leading indicator that all is perfect with RNBDJ’s music. I would have been very concerned if Dr Dang (the piece of shit) or S S Sunderum or Akshay Shaggo would have liked the music.

    Tell them, as I have said before, that the worst song from RNBDJ (as if it has a bad song) will outperform at the cash registers, Big B’s Aaag, or Lil C’s Daraaouna.

    I am with my friend Samira (see her comment above), the music of RNBDJ is , SIMPLY SUPERB, AND SUPERBLY SIMPLE.

    ONCE PEOPLE WATCH PERFORMING SRK ON THESE SONG IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NO.1 MUSIC ALBUM OF THIS YEAR.
    JUST WAIT FOR THE PROMO OF THESE SONGS DONT GO SO FAST.
    YOU DONT NEED TO COUNT UPTO 5 OR UPTO 2 TO FING THE RANK OF THIS MUSIC ALBUM.

    HAULE HAULE IS SO GOOD AND FAMOUS NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT IS A GOOD SONG BUT ALSO SRK PERFOMANCE MADE IT SO BIGGER.

    CHAK DE INDIA AND DARD-E-DISCO SONGS ARE THE EXAMPLES THAT HOW THESE SONGS BECOMES SO FAMOUS BECAUSE OF SRK PERFORMANCE.

    It may not be 5/5 but definately 3.5 or 4…its got soul…and for all those doubters…just wait to see SRK on screen…the songs will transform from good to fantastic like magic…he was already shown that with Haule Haule…i m sure ‘tujh mein rab dikhta hai’ & ‘ phir milenge’ will be on everyone’s lips in a few week’s time…
