Unfortunately after Mithoon and Ankit raised the bar with the opening songs, this is when the album goes downhill because barring a couple, there are none that match the high standard from the remaining songs composed by Jeet Ganguly. Overall Ankit hits the bullseye for another super hit song for the album. Shreya Ghoshal sings in the superb reprise “Sunn Raha Hai (Female)†that features more traditional instrumentation including the flute. Lyrics by Sandeep Nath are so painful and touching you can almost feel them. Music is contemporary rock with plenty of guitars, drums and percussions mixed in but it’s the way Ankit evokes passion and feeling by muting everything during the beginning of each stanza that works so well particularly when it all progresses so effectively towards the chorus with a bang! Ankit chooses to sing himself and does so incredibly well for a composer and singer. The song takes a while to grow on you but then you will be hooked. Then it’s time for Ankit Tiwari to make a name for himself with a quite brilliant track called “Sunn Raha Haiâ€. Now it’s over to others to carry it forward. Mithoon’s contribution ends with a lovely piano piece for the instrumental to the album called “The Love Themeâ€. Nevertheless it’s super hit material just like the original. There’s a reprise version of this song later in the album called “Meri Aashiqui†where Arijit is joined by Palak Muchal who sounds incredibly like Shreya Ghoshal which is high praise indeed. Ever since “Raabta†he has become the most talented young artist in Bollywood and so it’s not surprise he’s the chosen singer for Aashiqui 2. The piano, strings and beats are very effective in creating an eerie romantic atmosphere for the singer to transform the song and Arijit Singh does that magnificently. The song has all the hallmarks of a Mithoon creation it’s soulful, extremely touching and of course dripping with melody. The producers certainly agree and that’s why it is hogging the promos right now. Whatever your opinion on this there’s no doubt this strategy riles composers who feel their hard work is undermined by producers cherry picking good songs from other composers and that’s exactly what happens in Aashiqui 2.įirst up is Mithoon’s contribution “Tum Hi Ho†and it’s arguably the best song on the entire album. But you look closer and while Jeet Ganguly are the main composers, it appears the producers weren’t entirely satisfied with their effort and tagged on some extra songs from Mithoon and Ankit Tiwari. So, does it achieve any of these expectations? Well yes and no…įirstly there are 11 songs with no remixes which is true to the original and a positive start. But as we are in 2013, that’s 23 years after the original, you need to appreciate the music will be more contemporary. You expect someone to enhance their reputation be that the music director or singer. At the very least you expect a lot of songs (the original had 11) and you expect the music to be melodious, romantic and catchy. However, just the sheer fact that it shares the same name as the original brings huge expectations. We are here of course to discuss the music of the sequel Aashiqui 2 and no doubt the fact that it’s the sequel has brought you here but in order to give it a fair chance you need to quickly forget about making direct comparisons with the original. If you don’t believe me just hop across to Youtube and search “Bas Ek Sanam Chahiyeâ€â€¦anyway I’m digressing here! But it all started with the classic Aashiqui which even to this day sounds so amazing it can give you goosebumps. Together they won countless awards and produced more gems along the way. Nadeem Shravan dominated the 1990s and most of their soundtracks featured Kumar Sanu songs. The soundtrack was so good in fact that it gave the film huge commercial success and catapulted the music directors (Nadeem Shravan) and main singer (Kumar Sanu) to fame. The original Aashiqui (1990) is widely regarded as one of the greatest Bollywood soundtracks of all time probably ranking in the Top 5 of many critics and fans alike (if not better!). Opinion Poll: Did Aashiqui 2 live up to expectations? Public Rating Average: 5.14 / 10 (rated by 414 listeners)
