एक बार फिर हार्दिक अभिनंदन आप सबका, शुक्रिया, घन्यावाद और Thank You इस प्रोग्राम को सुनने के लिए। 'Truly massive' are the expectations one has from the music of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. There is certain legacy that Rajshri has built over the decades and with Sooraj Barjatya returning to direction, one expects nothing less than a spectacle from him. Moreover, with Salman Khan, the soundtrack needs to be as huge as it gets. No wonder, the ones entrusted to do the job are Himesh Reshammiya, who has gone ultra-selective today as a composer, along with lyricist Irshad Kamil, who is a regular with Pritam, and hence lends a unique combination. With as many as 10 songs in there, it is a voluminous album for sure. It is a celebratory start to the album from the word 'go' with Aman Trikha and Vineet Singh singing in tandem to deliver a Ram Leela number titled 'Prem Leela'. A fun number all the way which is designed for all age groups and has turned huge this festive season. It is wonderful to see the manner in which the Ram-Sita-Raavan story is narrated in a musical manner with dance steps intact. Chartbuster all the way. 01-Prem Leela CD MISC-20151125 Track#01 3:41 PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO-2015; Aman Trikha, Vineet Singh; Himesh Reshammiya; Irshad Kamil Palak Muchhal, the girl with a sweet voice who has to her credit some hit numbers already, steps into the Rajshri world with the title song 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'. She does quite well in the space which is otherwise reserved for Shreya Ghoshal and comes up with a rendition that would be played for many months to follow; Himesh Reshammiya gives this one a grand treatment which is befitting for a title song. 02-Prem Ratan Dhan Payo CD MISC-20151125 Track#02 5:19 PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO-2015; Palak Muchhal; Himesh Reshammiya; Irshad Kamil It is a 'ghazal' beginning for 'Jalte Diye' by Harshdeep Kaur and for a little while one gets an impression that this would stay in this mode right through. However, a classical interspersion later, Anweshaa takes over and the song turns out to be a romantic outing where Sonam Kapoor and Salman Khan to get into a romantic rendezvous. A song which stays plain and simple throughout its near six minute duration, it has Vineet Singh pretty much doing what one would have expected Sonu Nigam to do in this situation. He is also supported by Shabab Sabri and together they deliver yet another melody. 03-Jalte Diye CD MISC-20151125 Track#03 5:36 PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO-2015; Harshdeep Kaur, Shabab Sabri, Vineet Singh & Anweshana; Himesh Reshammiya; Irshad Kamil Next number is a joyous 'Aaj Unse Milna Hai' which is truly in the Rajshri mode, what with Irshad Kamil's lyrics being in a conversational mode, as was the base for quite a few songs in Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. It is quite nice to hear Shaan in this wonderful number which is about Salman packing bags of goodies en route the house of his lady love. With melody as the core, this one is picturised quite beautifully too, hence making it a complete Barjatya experience. 04-Aaj Unse Milna Hai CD MISC-20151125 Track#04 4:03 PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO-2015; Shaan; Himesh Reshammiya; Irshad Kamil Remember 'Sun Sun Kasam Se' [Kala Sona] which was sung oh-so-beautifully by Asha Bhosle and Danny Denzongpa? A similar style, coupled with traces of Yesudas' 'Gori Tera Gaon Bada Pyaara' from Rajshri's Chitchor, is witnessed in 'Jab Tum Chaho', a very well sounding love song. It is good to see an unconventional mix of singers in this one with Mohammed Irfan, Darshan Raval and Palak Muchhal coming together and creating a melodic sound, which does step into the Himesh Reshammiya mode during the 'antara' portion. 05-Jab Tum Chaho CD MISC-20151125 Track#05 5:07 PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO-2015; Mohammed Irfan, Darshan Raval, Palak Muchhal; Himesh Reshammiya; Irshad Kamil After 'Prem Leela', Aman Trikha gets to sing another one in the album, 'Halo Re…'. A high on energy number which deals with Radha-Kanha episode. With a good rhythm to it, this has good picturisation making it all the more entertaining. 06-Halo Re CD MISC-20151125 Track#06 3:18 PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO-2015; Aman Trikha; Himesh Reshammiya; Irshad Kamil The sound of 'ouch' right at the beginning of 'Tod Tadaiyya' instantly reminds one of 'Dhak Dhak Karne Laga' [Beta]. However, the naughty resemblance is for exactly two seconds as the mischief here stays in the 'Universal' zone with not even a trace of 'U/A' mood, leave aside something that is meant for 'Adults Only'. So what one gets to hear is Neeraj Shridhar and Neeti Mohan getting into a playful encounter which has their friends and families around them and even cheering along. A fun track which has a 'Didi Tera Devar Deewana' [Hum Aapke Hain Kaun] setting to it. 07-Tod Tadaiyya CD MISC-20151125 Track#07 4:24 PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO-2015; Neeraj Shridhar, Neeti Mohan; Himesh Reshammiya; Irshad Kamil Himesh Reshammiya brings himself on board as a singer for an emotional number 'Bachpan Kahan'. A song which is expected to play at that juncture of the film when the brothers get into a tiff with each other, it has Himesh sounding pretty uncharacteristic of his usual self. With a smooth flow to it, this one could well have been for a lullaby setting, what with an old world feel to it. A situational outing. 08-Bachpan Kahan CD MISC-20151125 Track#08 4:07 PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO-2015; Himesh Reshammiya; Himesh Reshammiya; Irshad Kamil Towards the end, a slower 90 second version of 'Aaj Unse Milna Hai' appears again as 'Murli Ki Taanon Si' while followed another 'version' which has Aishwarya Majumdar leading charge. The two minute song blends in well with the title song 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' soon after, hence making it a complete experience even as Palak Muchhal and Shaan join in. 09-Murli Ki Taanon Si CD MISC-20151125 Track#09 1:30 PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO-2015; Shaan; Himesh Reshammiya; Irshad Kamil 10-Aaj Unse Kehna Hai CD MISC-20151125 Track#10 2:08 PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO-2015; Shaan, Aishwarya Majumdar, Palak Muchhal; Himesh Reshammiya; Irshad Kamil THE END समाप्त
