Boo Darna Zaroori Hai
It was Ram Gopal Verma who started the trend of incorporating
promotional music videos for his otherwise song-less films. He started it with 'Bhoot'
'Bhoot Hoon Main' picturised on Sunidhi Chauhan and followed it up with 'Darna
Mana Hai' Jo Dar Gaya So Mar Gaya' picturised on Sameera Reddy.
While the trend
has caught up fast with every movie worth its salt coming up with a promotional
video Dhoom, Hum Tum, Bluffmaster, Aksar, Tom Dick and Harry, Humko Deewana Kar
Gaye to name a few, RGV does it again for 'Darna Zaroori Hai', sequel to his
moderately successful 'Darna Mana Hai'. The girl in question is Nisha Kothari
this time around while Mohit 'James' Ahlawat too joins her for another music
video. Taabish Romani and Nitin Raikwar, who have been associated with RGV with
number of projects in last few years are the men behind the film's music.
DZH mainly has just 3 unique songs along with remixes of two of them while rest
of the album is stuffed with songs from 'Mr. Ya Miss' and 'James'. First to come
is the heavily promoted 'Khabardar' that appears in two versions 'Maut Ka Jayeka'
and 'Zindagi Ka Zayeka'. Mohona Sarkar, who had sung 'Dhokebaaz' and 'Khud Ko
Maar Daala Re' in RGV's 'D' last year, gets yet another opportunity to make her
presence felt in the music industry.
Strong beats, western arrangements and scary sounds mark the beginning of the
first version 'Maut Ka Jayeka' that has Sukhwinder Singh pairing up with Mohana.
Sadly, the song is nothing but a rehash of 'Khallas' Company with not much
difference in terms of pace and style. The style was anyways exhausted in 'Dhokebaaz'
and hence there is not much interesting when one gets to hear something so
similar in DHZ. The singers do their job well while the actors especially Nisha
performs with conviction too but it's the music by Taabish Romani that proves to
be a downer. A little slower but similar in style and rhythm 'Zindagi Ka Jayeka'
follows after a gap. Kunal Ganjawala pairs up with Mohona but that's still not
good enough to make a beeline for DZH in front of music stores.
After Tabish Romani, it is Nitin Raikwar's turn to compose and write for the two
versions original and remix of 'Aake Darr'. Scary sounds prevail the beginning
of this track too that is noticeable due to Mohona's style of rendition where
she really stretches her vocals an extra distance. In a similar style as the
title sequences of a James Bond flick, the music is intriguing, scary, sensual
as well as exciting. Though it is by no means a classic, it should do well to
create an eerie feel in a dark auditorium. The tune is again set on a western
base and though the remix version makes it more, belonging to the dance-mix
mode, one would still prefer the original.
'Boo' is the last original track in the album and is yet another ordinary tune
by Taabish Romani. The interlude portions in electronic guitar somehow catch
your attention but the tune on which Sunidhi Chauhan sings along is simply
average. There are scary sounds and works accompanying the tune that hardly make
an impact. The song would be restricted to the film's promotion but nothing more
than that.
Rest of the tracks have already been heard before in 'Mr. Ya Miss' 'Fakr Hai
Aurat', 'Fakr Hai Aadmi', 'Kamsin Kali' and 'James' 'Zindagi Jeene Ka Naam Hai',
'Jaan Hai'. Since most of them were just about fine with none turning out to be
a real chartbuster when originally released, they are still not good enough
reasons to grab the copy of 'Darna Zaroori Hai'.
In the end, 'Darna Zaroori Hai' turns out to be a lukewarm album that doesn't
really hold your attention much. One of the weakest musical scores from a RGV
film, one wonders if the album may have sounded better if it was made of
background pieces from the film, just like in case of 'Satya'?
