Praan Jaye Par Shaan Na Jaye
MUSIC REVIEW
By Joginder Tuteja, December 30, 2002 - 15:54 IST
Women power is back after a grand assemble` of six actresses - Rekha, Madhuri Dixit, Manisha Koirala, Mahima Chaudhary, Sonali Bendre and Urmila Matondkar in Raj Kumar Santoshi's women liberation cry - Lajja.
''Praan Jaye Par Shaan Na Jaye'' beats it with a huge casting of Raveena Tandon, Namrata Shirodkar, Diya Mirza, Rinke Khanna, Divya Dutta, Shweta Menon and Sushmita Sen (in a special appearance).
With no notable hero in the star cast, one may be forced to accept popular TV star Aman Verma as one.
But there is a horde of character artists from Mahesh Manjrekar's camp in this Asoo Nihalani, Sagoon Wagh, Raj Lalchandani production that is presented by Mahesh himself. These artists are - Vijay Raaz (the adorable 'flower-contractor' from Monsoon Wedding, Sayaji Shinde, Sachin Khedekar,Shivaji Satam and Sanjay Narvekar (our very own 'dedh-footiya' from Vaastav). To top it all, Mahesh Majrekar himself plays the role of 'trouble maker' Munna Hatela in PSPSNJ.
Now this must be so mething to look forward to as Mahesh's performance in recently released Kaante bagged the limelight despite the presence of heavyweights Big B, Sanjay Dutt and Suneil Shetty.
This comical movie is about a contractor who wants to take-over a chawl and how the people occupying this chawl rebel against him. So far so good !! The basic plot seems to be interesting, the idea of roping in leading ladies is exciting and the character artists are worth their salt.
But what about the music - if we can call so - by Daboo Malik and Nitin Raikwar? Let's analyze !!To be very up front in the start itself - music score of PJPSNJ is no short of a DISASTER from the word GO. Six tracks in the album are some weird pieces joined here and there and served in the name of music. A shrieky-scratchy album, it begins with an awful 'Aye Aye Ya'. No doubt, it is sung (?) by Vinod Rathod and Daboo Malik as only they may have been so compromising enough to render to such inane lyrics by Praveen Bhardwaj. A 'song' catering to Marathis and Punjabis alike, turn by turn, you just realize that your newly born child is howling listening to this one.
Some real innovation must have gone while writing and composing the VERY DOWNMARKET 'Loan De'. Lyricist and composer Nitin Raikwar assembles a bunch of rookies - Tulsi Maidasani, Leon Michael, Mitun De Sarkar and Harvinder along with Vinod Rathod and himself and 'attempts' a riot with Loan De. A 'song' about some individuals waiting for a loan due to their respective reasons - someone wants to get his daughter married, one wants to go abroad, one even wants to go and play a cricket match - such situations have been put together, to tickle your funny bone !! It fails to tickle your funny bone, but does make you lose a strand of hair or two out of frustration !!
The misery continues with the most horrible song composed in recent times - 'Hum Tere Sanam'. A meaningless song in all departments, it has down market music, cheap lyrics and absolute BAD vocals. This may have been the reason as to why the name of the female singer has not even been mentioned on the album cover as her vocals are amateurish to say the least !! Vinod Rathod continues to scream in this 'supposedly' love track which talks about something as "If I wouldn't have been your jaaneman, then I could well have been a 'POWDER' so that I could have touched your cheeks". Can the lyrics go more downwards than these? Yes why not, but then either it could have been in a C-Grade movie or some ragging scene in a boy's hostel !!You have listened to half an album and you know that the suffering will continue with the other half. But you still proceed because you have paid for it.
So why not continue and then later dispose it off !! Well, regardless of the warning bells, you play 'Lagi Ye Lagi To' by Vinod Rathod and another rookie Nayab Ali. But by now, you are not hit as hard as the previous number. Not that the song is marginally better, but because you have just surrendered yourself to colossal disasters. You are now not even in a position to decipher what exactly the song wants to convey. And why should one, when the parody 'Chaali Humko' just convinces you even more that you have made a blunder of your life by going for PSPSNJ.
Well, if you are still reading this review then this parody on the tune of 'Bharat Humko Jaan Se Pyaara Hai' from Roja is sung by Rathod (again), Nitin Raikwar, Tulsi Madasani and some others (?) Look what they have done to your composition Rehman - GO GET THEM !!
So you thought that after all this battering and hammering, there won't be any surprises in store. You are deceived once again, courtesy Daboo Malik and lyricsts Praveen Bhardwaj and Jitendra Joshi, who somehow convince Sonu Nigam too to be a part of this single-over game where Vinod Rathod has been clean bowled 5 times in the first 5 balls he has faced. Sonu Nigam faces the sixth ball. Well, what can poor Sonu do when the pitch (the compositions themselves) is so difficult to play on. He too succumbs like the Indianbatsmen in New Zealand this season and departs on the first ball he faces - Shaadi Ki Pehli Raat Thi.
