LOVE YATRI music review |
The score can be best described as “festive.” The ambiance of Navratri (let us not forget that the film`s original title was “LoveRatri” that was changed ) pervades this melodious and bright album heavily based on and inspired by Gujarati folk that is employed during the festival. It begins with “Chogada” (Darshan Raval, who worked with Himesh Reshammiya in the past, with Asees Kaur), a rambunctious dance number. By the way, this has less (and perfectly understandable in meaning) Gujarati than the Punjabi in many of our numbers that have needlessly abounded in Hindi films over the last decade plus. Raval is spirited, never mind if “Chogada,” in proper Gujarati, should be “Chhogada” or lover. The music is infectious (Lijo George & DJ Chetas) with lyrics by Raval himself and Shabbir Ahmed kept simple and sensible. Uncannily, Kaur sounds JUST like heroine Warina Hussain! Very rarely do singers sound so close to the actor they are singing for, especially if the actor is new! “Akh Lad Jaave,” sees a classic case of integration that can be found only in Hindi cinema, Warina Hussain, an Afghan girl (!) who plays a Gujarati NRI, gets a Sikh, Asees Kaur, to playback for her.
