Kachchi Sadak
Every year sees
a new breed of film makers arriving in
Bollywood and trying to make their mark.
Producer Rohitashv and director Sanjay D.
Singh are two such film makers who make a
film about liquor trade with Rajsthan as the
setting.
Rahul Singh, who has earlier played
character roles in films like ''Zubeidaa'',
''Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai'', ''Yaadein'', ''Darna
Mana Hai'' and ''Kyun Ho Gaya Naa'' arrives
in a lead role with ''Kachchi Sadak'' which
is also written by him. Parmita Katkar, who
was recently seen in ''Love Ke Chakkar Mein''
and ''Husn - Love And Betrayal'' is the
female lead, Madhoo makes a comeback while
Late Amrish Puri and Mithun Chakravorty
in a special appearance are other star
attractions. Dr. Prabha Thakur writes the
lyrics for this film which also marks the
return of composer Uttam Singh who is not
seen much in the Bollywood musical scene.
There are little expectations from the music
of a film like ''Kachchi Sadak'' that
belongs to a social/action/drama genre and
doesn''t boast of names that would guarantee
of an exceptional soundtrack. The final
result is as expected with just a song or
two making their presence felt.

music review of Kachchi Sadak
Remember ''Mammaiya
Kero Mama'' from Arjun? A cry of rebellion
to take on the world, ''Kachchi Sadak'' -
the title song, also takes the same route as
KK brings on the energy for this song that
has been given raw musical arrangements by
Uttam Singh. A fast paced situational
number, it gathers good pace towards its
end. Overall, it is still not a kind of
track that one may want to play on at home
or on drive since it has no value to it
outside the situation.
Surprise comes in the form of ''Ek Tumse
Baat'', a sweet-n-nice romantic number that
can be described in one word as
''innocent''. With the tune being
reminiscent of a nursery rhyme, ''Ek Tumse
Baat'' is a conversational song set in the
70s mode with a slow pace than goes
perfectly well with the genre. Shreya
Ghoshal and Udit Narayan must have indeed
sung the song with a smile on their face
since that reflects in their pleasant
rendition. Uttam Singh does quite well to
keep his arrangements at the minimum for
this soothing song that actually turns out
to be quite beautiful and can be given an
easy ear for a few times at the least.
Sad version of
''Ek Tumse Baat'' is for the situation when
the girl has realized that her lover is not
with her anymore and it seems unlikely that
he would be coming back. Moving at an even
slower pace, this short version is for the
situation. Since ''Ek Tumse Baat'' is the
most likeable of the lot, it also appears in
an ''Instrumental'' version.
Much hyped
Mithun''s guest appearance song ''Khwaja
Mere Khwaja'' comes next that begins on a
very good note by Adnan Sami due to its
lyrical quality. The rhythm that follows the
prelude has a catchy effect that follows
throughout the track.
Adnan Sami is
usual good in this high energy Sufi
devotional track which would be liked by
those who follow music belonging to this
genre. In the film it should create a good
impact and fit in well for a high voltage
situation.
Vinod Rathod, who has done wonders for
Sanjay Dutt yet again in ''Lagey Raho
Munnabhai'' is heard once again in ''Kachchi
Sadak'' as he pairs up with Udit Narayan for
''Hungama Hungama''. Pedestrian is the way
to describe this number which is supposed to
be fun-n-frolic but doesn''t even make you
move a muscle as you hear it on in the music
system. Old fashioned with no retention
value whatsoever, the song fails to create
any hungama as the two singers simply go
through the motions. Since this is a song
about a group of friends having fun in their
good days, a sad version of the same follows
too which is for a situation when the
friends are forced to be apart due to
destiny''s intervention. Udit Narayan is the
only singer for this extra slow shorter
version that is composed sans any musical
instrument in the background.
''Kachchi Sadak'' is an album that would in
all likelihood pass off as an also ran. ''Ek
Tumse Baat'' is decent while ''Khwaja Mere
Khwaja'' is good for a situation but these
two songs alone won''t really be able to do
much for the album. With not much promotion
of the film to boost, this score by Uttam
Singh would largely go unnoticed. |
