Good things sometimes come in small packages and ZINDAGI TERE NAAM is one such perceptible surprise in the segment of low budget entertainers. Recently Sajid-Wajid had a rollicking blast in PARTNER and the duo maintains their great form again with this low profile entertainer. In terms of contents, the album comes out with mixed bag of amusement with noticeable set of melodies, an energetic 'item song' and a contemporary 'qawalli' number. The major highlight of the film will be return of 70's successful pair Mithun Chakraborty and Ranjeeta in lead roles.
KK makes a remarkable voice make-over as he contorts to 'ghazal-gayaki' type of singing in a song that metaphor the nostalgia of everlasting love in 'Tu Mujhe Soch Kabhi'. Sajid-Wajid's subtle composition has a traditionalistic backdrop with amiable dosages of trendy orchestrations. It's a well conceived track that signifies the eternal love with meaningful wordings by Jalees Sherwani. KK's gleam in modulating overtones is very impressive and the overall track can really be a hallmark for film's touching theme.
'Milne Ko Nahi Aaye', an emblematically melodic presentation of this love saga has characteristically soothing westernized orchestration backdrop shouldered with mellifluous vocals and expressive lyrics. Sajid-Wajid makes this special attribute as it comes in three audibly pleasant versions. The first version comes out as delightful duet by Shaan and Sunidhi Chauhan where tender love moments are exuberated through subtle mix and match of Hindi-English lyrics. Jalees Sherwani's wordings are congenially mesmerized with simplistically verses that make genteel chemistry with soothing arrangements. Shaan makes a delectable presence in the 'male' version while Sunidhi Chauhan's softening vocal textures makes mood tender in the 'female version'. Sajid-Wajid makes appreciably likeable moves in creating fresh whiff of romanticism in all three versions and deserves to be lauded for it. Melodious!!!
