Welcome

Music from the new film Welcome turned out to be a disappointment. I eagerly waited to hear the soundtrack that carries the names of musical directors Himesh Reshammiya and Anand Raj Anand. Of all the things that I expected, to be let down was not one of them. Maybe it has to do with my lack of enthusiasm for electronic sounds, or echoing voice effects. Maybe it is the unvarying beats in each of the songs that I found annoying.

Aaja Nachle

Although the movie Aaja Nachle was hit hard by critics, the music from Madhuri Dixit’s come back film deserves to be heard. As I listened to the soundtrack myself, I was impressed by the excellent blend of rhythms from the north of India as well as touching love ballads featuring such artists as Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.From the first track, the movie’s title song, you will not be able to resist the invitation to come and dance. I found my shoulders moving to the irresistible and infectious beat of Show Me Your Jalwa. I always say that a smile can be heard and in the playful song Soniye Mil Ja, which begins with the voice of Madhuri herself, her smile comes across loud and clear.
