Love breakups zindagi is an upcoming bollywood romantic comedy which offers a slice of life. Writeen and directed by debutant sahil sangha and produced under the banner of sahara motion pictures, it’s an urban youth film depicting the love lives of a bunch of youngsters. It stars zayed khan, dia mirza, cyrus sahukar and tisca chopra in the lead roles. Music is composed by the talented duo salim-sulaiman who rarely fail to impress with their fresh and peppy soundtracks and lyrics are by the lyrical genius Javed akhtar. The album consists of 4 original songs and one remix and one looks forward to such soundtrack.
The first tracks starts off with a guitar and soon the vocals of salim takes over this youthful song ‘Rozana’ which is philosophical lyrics wise as it depicts the day-to-day proceedings of life and nature in a positive light. The use of accordion in the interlude provides this track a nostalgic touch of the era gone by and singing by salim is full of life and his voice quality perfectly suits the song. Indeed a good start to the album.
The next track ‘Rab rakha’ sung by versatile singers sonu nigam and shreys ghoshal is a romantic song which suits to the cosy moments of a wedding as shown in the promos. Backing vocals are given by salim and shraddha pandit which are very effective and adds to it’s grandeur. Lyrics are soulful to say the least and the phrase rab raakha is mesmerizing. Sonu nigam has shown his classical side in this song as he sings the intricate portions with much ease and conviction. Shreya ghoshal as usual fills the song with her saccharine like voice. The instruments her are mainly Indian which makes it even more authentic. There is a small portion in the song in which shradha pandit takes centrestage and creates a strong impct with her powerful vocals. Certainly the best song of this album.
Next arrives another peppy song ‘Love love’ sung by the effervescent Benny dayal who has become a favourite with young music composers. He has done a fairly good job. Female counterpart is Shraddha pandit who surprises with her mellow voice especially at places when there are low notes. Lyrics are imaginative and the song oozes freshness. This songs reminds me of the song ‘janne kyun’ from dostana as it had the similar kind of feel and setting. Nevertheless, it’ a good attempt at recreating such songs in a better way.
Till now the album is going pretty smooth and is maintaining it’s quality. The last track ‘Chhayee hai tanhayee’ and as the name suggests, it has a sad feeling attched with this. It is sung by the extremely talented and gifted sufi singer Shafqat amanat ali which once again provides the song another dimension and takes it to an altogether higher level. Shruti pathak famous for her rendition in the song ‘marjawaan’ from the movie fashion is also heard in this song adding to it’s depth. Salim has given the backing vocals which are alright. Lyrics are excellent and strikes an emotional chord with the listeners. The use of harmonium in the interlude adds to it’s mystical touch. At par with the best song of this album ‘rab raakha’. Wish it could be much longer than it’s duration which is only 3.25 minutes.
The last track is the remix of the first track ‘Rozana’ and starts off with thumping beats which are innovative and makes it a dance track. The echo effects enhances the vocals of Salim and added beats spruce up the proceedings. It will be instantly grabbed up by the discos and pubs.
On the whole, Love breakups zindagi packs a solid punch and maintains it’s quality throughout. It is peppy, classy and soulful all at the same time and deserves to be lauded for it’s freshness and innovativeness. The soundtrack will help the film’s narrative in striking a chord with both the youth and families. Recommended!
