wArNiNg: THIS IS A MUSIC REVIEW, NOT FILM REVIEW

Gentlemen and ladies... and BALD- HEADED BABIES....

Presenting the first music review on chakpak.....

 The first thing that strikes you when you listen to the tracks for the first time is that these tracks are a part of us, but we haven't yet realised it. It is fun to discover ourselves in this way. You will be able toconnect to the music the first time you hear it...

 Well, to start off, the album has seven tracks, six of which are composed by the versatile trio of Shanker-Ehsaan-Loy. One, very beautiful composition (though all are beautiful, this one has an edge over the rest) is by Adnan Sami. It leaves you with emotions you might have never experienced. It's called 'Mera jahaan", sung by Adnan himself, who puts a different life into his different  composition. It reflects a child describing his own world. Really, after listening to it,  I felt like going upto Adnan and requesting him to compose songs like this one only.

 Now, back to Shanker-Ehsaan-Loy compositions. First comes 'Bheja Kum' which means dumb, stupid and many other things.  Sung by Shanker , it asks the child why is he stupid, why is he slow in doing work, Why???? It is not a groovy number, but can definately pass off as a rock song. The beats are lovely, especially the pauses.

 This trio always surprises us. But the next one is a shock.... Its starts off with flute music, then Aamir saying funny things like "Chaka laka chi chai riko piko....." If you think that's surprising enough, think again. 'Bum Bum Bole' will definately shock you. Sung by our very own Shaan, it has everything. Just EVERYTHING. You can dance to it, you can sit back and enjoy it, it will cheer you up when sad, it will increase your happiness in happy times. Best of all, it will bring a smile on your face.

 Third in the line is 'Jame Raho'. It belongs entirely to everyone in the first half. The use of guitar is rocking. This number will pep you up in the morning. The second half, though, belongs to the cute kid, Darsheel. It aptly describes his mental situation. In this half, it goes from slow to fast, according to the felings of the child. Sung by Shanker again ( I ain't complaining).

 Now comes 'Kholo Kholo', dedicated to all the kids and adults who want to make a mark in the world. The full song is in guitar (my favourite instrument) , by Shanker again. The high point is the rhythm of the song.

 Next track is a lovely one called 'Maa'. It brings out the well-known idea, " The mother knows everthing". This is another beautiful song sung by Shanker ( really, if Himeshbhai made such songs and sung them himself, people wouldn't be abusing him. Infact, they'd love him, even the critics would accept his 'nasal' voice). I beacme emotional ang hugged my mother after listening this song. I am sure you will also do the same.

 As they say, "Last, but not the least" , here comes the title track. It sounds like a jingle-bell type number, but after listening to it, you feel like listening to it again and again and again. Even if you heard this song after a few tears, it would sound as fresh as it is now. Shanker has beautifully carved this song with his voice.

 I kept the lyrics for the end. Lyrics are given by Prasoon Joshi, the same guy who has given us Fanaa and RDB. No questions about the lyrics. Thye are rocking as usual. I give it a 5 star.

 Overall, the album's lovely. It feels as though Aamir has worked very hard for it. Take this album if you are bored of the normal filmy songs which keep shouting " DUS....BEES..." and God knows what.

 Insha-Allah, Aamir will succeed. TZP will be a big hit. Aamin. I pray for him.
