Wanted - Music Review

Cast :: Salman Khan, Ayesha Takia, Mahesh Manjrekar, Asseem Merchant, Sajid Nadiadwala, Vinod Khanna.

Composer duo Sajid-Wajid are well known for producing music that is high on beats. They have stuck to their signature style in there album of "Wanted" too, but the music is not much inspiring enough as it lacks some freshness.

Directed by southern dancing star Prabhu Deva and produced by Boney Kapoor, the film's album has seven originals songs and five remixes.

"Dil leke", The two talented and successful singer Shaan and Shreya Ghoshal have sung this song with pleasure. This is romantic number and both duo has done there best. The song doesn't entail too many electronic beats and the lyrics are average, but the track does have some potential.

The song also has a remixed version, but the original is much better.

"Ishq Vishq", which has western beats in abundance. Sung by Kamaal Khan, Sunidhi Chauhan and Suzanne D'Mello, it is a so-so track, the lyrics being mediocre.

This song too has a remix version.

"Jalwa", which has a long prelude with the 'dhol' taking precedence. The number raises expectations in the beginning but falls flat soon after. The quality of music and lyrics are disappointing. Even though there are touches of hip-hop, it is not fresh enough. The number is sung by composer Wajid along with Earl.

A remix version is thrown in for this track as well.

"Le le mazaa le" has an Arabic feel and brings back memories of the hit song "Mayya mayya" from the film "Guru", but it might not go on to become a chartbuster. "Le le mazaa" is sung by Suzanne D'Mello, Soumya Raoh, Hrishikesh Kamerkar and Nikita Nigam.

Wajid gets behind the mike yet again along with Amrita Kak for "Love me, love me". With monotonous lyrics and no innovation in music, the track isn't likely to hold the listener's interest for too long.

The remix version of the track is no good either.

"Most Wanted", which is sung by Salman Khan. More than a song, this is a narration and a collection of several dialogues from the film.

"Tose pyaar karte hain", a Bhojpuri styled fast-paced number. Wajid and Sunidhi Chauhan have given their vocals for the song. Like others, this number has nothing extraordinary to boast about.

On the whole, the album disappoints. One expected more from the otherwise talented Sajid-Wajid.

Main Aur Mrs Khanna - Movie Review

Cast :: Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Sohail Khan, Bappi Lahiri, Preity Zinta.

Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna, directed by debutante Prem Soni, could've been an interesting story had the drama quotient been a bit stronger. What comes across is too simple and ordinary.

Actually, the problem lies in its writing. It wouldn't be erroneous to say that Prem Soni, the director is letdown by Prem Soni, the writer. The writing gyrates from interesting to ordinary to unconvincing and that bogs the film down. The inconsistency is evident all through.

Raina [Kareena Kapoor], Samir [Salman Khan] and Akash [Sohail Khan] are three people whose lives get entwined at an international airport. Samir has to decide whether he wants to stay in the same city "Melbourne" that gave him so much and then took away everything or fly away to a new city "Singapore", to a new life.

Raina has to decide whether her love and loyalty for her husband Samir, who left her to pursue success, is more justified than her faith and trust in her new-found friend, while Akash has to decide whether what he feels for a married woman is lust or true love and whether he's justified in trying to win her at all costs, even at the cost of her marriage.

Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna makes a promising start. The cracks in the relationship are evident when the husband starts facing problems on the professional front. He tries to re-locate to Singapore, but decides to send his wife to Delhi, to his parents' home. Convincing!

The wife decides to stay back in Melbourne and suddenly meets an 'angel' [Sohail Khan] and a friend's friend [Mahek Chahal], who gets her a job at the airport [within hours of meeting her] and a few scenes later, Mrs. Khanna shifts into a palatial mansion. How can she afford a palace-like home in Melbourne from the salary that she gets, while working in a shop at the airport? Not convincing!

The wife and angel become friends. The angel is well aware of her marital status, yet loves her dearly. The woman trusts him as a friend. Convincing!

The husband re-surfaces. He's now settled in Singapore, has even bought a house there, he returns to Melbourne to fetch his wife back. Complications arise when the marriage registration letter surfaces. Not convincing!

The question is, why didn't the wife confide in her husband about it? That she had to do it for the work permit? Of course, she states subsequently that she didn't want to complicate things further, but didn't she ever realise that the truth would be out sooner or later?

Also, when the husband is in Singapore, there's scant or zilch communication between the couple, which looks so unreal. There's just one sequence of the wife calling her husband, but the husband isn't responding to the call. Again, not convincing!

The ending is interesting, but the surprise appearance of Deepika Padukone looks forced in the script. Perhaps, it was incorporated so that Sohail doesn't come across as a loser. Strangely, Deepika's name is also Raina [also Kareena's name in the film] and she too was in a relationship with a Samir [also Salman's name], which looks fake.

Prem Soni has handled a few scenes well, but the writing is ineffectual. Dialogue, also by Prem, are wonderful at places. Sajid-Wajid's music is tuneful. 'Don't Say Alvida' and 'Rabba' are melodious compositions. The cinematography is striking. The locales of Melbourne give the film a perfect romantic setting.

Salman handles his part with maturity, but it's a Kareena show all the way. She is remarkable and delivers a winning performance yet again. Sohail contributes to some light moments. Yash Tonk is alright. Mahek Chahal is perfect. Nauheed Cyrusi doesn't get any scope.

The film has several star appearances: Deepika Padukone, Preity Zinta, Dino Morea and Bappil Lahiri.
