Telugu megastar Mahesh Babu's Okkadu gets a Hindi version
with 2 States star, Arjun Kapoor taking over the responsibility in Tevar
produced by his father and uncle (Boney Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor). In this high
voltage action movie includes stars as Sonakshi Sinha and Manoj Bajpayee. With
the promos by now creating quite a stir, the soundtrack has also created the
curiosity of the audience. Composers Sajid-Wajid known for their commercial and
lively compositions have been roped in for this movie and therefore one can definitely
expect a mass-friendly soundtrack here.
The album begins with Superman. It is the last tribute by a
self-confessed fan (Arjun Kapoor) to his bollywood idol (Salman Khan)! The fact
is that this track has been composed by another Salman devotee, Sajid-Wajid. In
fact, getting Wajid to go behind the mike is a stroke of genius in itself particularly
so because Wajid's voice seems to suit Arjun to a tee. The composition itself
is pretty lively and memorable and Wajid's singing serves to only highlight it
further while Sajid, Kausar Munir and Danish Sabri show their vital devotion to
Salman with their words. With its lively and rhythmic beats already making it
dance-worthy, the remix version is sure to pull you into the dance floor!
The next song is Radha Nachegi which gives you an impression
of a classical number. In fact, this is a wonderful cocktail of western and
Indian sounds with the kind of spunk needed for a movie in this genre. Billed
as Sonakshi's introduction number, Radha Nachegi has the lively voice of Ritu
Pathak who manages the classical and western twists outstandingly well to give
the listener a marvelous dance number. Kausar Munir's lyrics are quite modern
and fit in the setting though there is sure to be some criticism about the
wisdom of using words like 'Radha Nachegi' and 'music bajega loud' in the same
line.
The next song is Dutch-Pakistani Singer’s debut in Bollywood
with Lets Celebrate and unluckily it is not exactly a brilliant one. With a
high amount of EDM and techno beats managing to drown out the
Punjabi-hindi-english lyrical cocktail (Imran Khan), the only words one might
end up clearly hearing is Lets Celebrate! Sonakshi Sinha has also been credited
as Imran's co-singer but honestly it is quite difficult to hear her vocals due
to background music.
The next one is Joganiya track with its rock-led arrangement
metamorphosing into an intense, romantic yet melancholic song. Shruti Haasan
manages to spring a surprise with her influential vocals managing to convey the
intensity of the emotions inherent in this ditty. Sajid-Wajid's fondness for
grandeur is visible in the track's mood shift from melancholic to haunting to
full-on passion. Kausar Munir's lyrics are bang on and fit well with the mood
of the song.
The next one is the mandatory 'item number' Madamiyan with
Mika Singh and Mamta Sharma. The composition is loud, crass and utterly
predictable and at best is a poor man's Munni Badnaam. Sajid-Wajid reuses their
usual 'item number' sounds for this entirely avoidable track written yet again
by Kausar Munir.
The last track is a soulful romantic melody in this album;
Shafqat Amanat Ali is here with Main Nai Jaana Pardes. The opening notes of
this track transports you literally into musical heaven but the follow-up is
not fairly convincing, though melodious nevertheless. Also, the pace is a tad
too slow which can get weary.
The songs for Tevar are a blend of all the fast paced
numbers like Superman, Madamiyan and Radha Nachegi and is OK.
In general, the soundtrack of Tevar is quite an assorted bag
and songs like Superman, Radha Nachegi and Joganiya are tuneful and lively.
