After a unsuccessful outing with Saif Ali Khan in Agent
Vinod, Director Sriram Raghavan has returned to wield the megaphone for
Badlapur which is being produced by Saif’s partner, Dinesh Vijan, who has
incidentally also debuted as a lyricist with this movie! Headlining the star
cast for this vengeance drama is Karan Johar’s pupil, Varun Dhawan along with
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Huma Qureshi, Yaami Gautam and Divya Dutta.
Music for an action drama movie such as this is not essentially
integral to the screenplay. Rather the songs generally play the role of a
filler/ breather in such movies. Consequently, it is all the more significant
for music composers Sachin-Jigar to come up with a soundtrack that can make a
mark in this dark thriller. Lyrical credits for this short album (consisting of
just 3 songs) have been shared by Priya Saraiya and Dinesh Vijan.
The album opens with Jee Karda and what a stunner it is!
While Sachin-Jigar score with the composition, Divya Kumar’s overwhelming
vocals stay with you long after the song gets over. The young composers make best
use of the shehnai and guitars to make a superb fusion cocktail which enthralls
you! The opening lines might deceive you into thinking that it is yet another
Bhangra pop number but once the guitars take over, you realize that you are in
for a rare and amazing Punjabi rock number. While the original itself is
mind-blowing, the Rock version rocks you even more with the pleasant Harmonium
brought into the mix.
The next one is Jeena Jeena song with Atif Aslam. A beauty
of a composition, this track is for all the romantics out there and Atif sings
with such passion that one cannot help but fall in love with this soft and
sweet tune. Sachin-Jigar score with this simple yet heart-warming composition
which, depending on the box-office success of the movie, has the potential to
turn out to be among the most romantic songs of 2015. The Remix of this track
though is alright but needless as the peace and tranquility exuded by the
original version is totally lost in its remixed version.
The next one Judaai is an experimentation which might not
find favor with everybody. That the better half of Director Vishal Bhardwaj has
unique but impactful vocals is widely acknowledged but the way Sachin-Jigar
have used Rekha Bhardwaj’s vocals takes you totally by surprise. Arijit
provides the perfect foil to Rekha’s deep and throaty vocals and together they
manage to create a dreamy feel to this poignant yet soulful track.
Overall, the soundtrack of Badlapur is very good as per film
theme. Sachin-Jigar who had a mixed 2014 have come out with all guns blazing to
have an excellent and thunderous start to 2015 with this album.
