Last movie that Sohail Khan produced was Partner –> super hit music !!

Last movie Puneet Sira directed was Jai Veeru –> Few hit songs !!

Last movie music director Dabboo Malik [Anu Malik's brother] worked on was Kisse Pyaar Karoon & Team-The Force –> All super flops !!

Why did Dabboo Malik step into the hit combination of Sohail Khan & Puneet Sira is unknown to me.. But my expectations from the soundtrack of Kissan just took a plunge into cold water because of his presence…

Hum Tumhaare Hai Sanam & Kasoor are the only two hits in his career and that too ages ago. Why does he still keep getting work is something we will have to decide after we listen to the music of Kissan.

With a cast of the likes of Jackie, Arbaaz, Sohail, Dalip Tahil, gorgeous Dia Mirza & the cute Nauheed Cyrusi the expectations are high from the music of Kissan. Also, the topic of the movie caters to the majority population of India that is farmers. It thus needs to have a total traditional feel to the soundtrack with a lot of Punjabi influence so it can appeal to the millions of farmers working in their fields and have this playing on their radio sets in the background

Let’s find out what this 6 track album has in store for the international audience…

Review

Track 1 – Punjabi Munde – This track implies a decent start to the album. It sounds like a number of Bollywood Punjabi tracks with a bit of english rap. The beat is almost similar to Sambhale from Ek-The Power of One but this one is better for sure as it is more catchy with the ”Punjabi Munde honde hain kamal” punch line. The difference is with the number of singers on this track. Labh Janjua, Shakti Singh, Sunidhi Chauhan, Siddharth Singh, Parthiv Gohil, Earl D & Dabboo Malik himself give their voice but none of them stand out. It’s like a chorus throughout the song !! Nothing extra ordinary about the performances, lyrics [by S.R. Bharti & Kanwar Juneja] or composition of this song but I guess the video will decide if this song turns out to be a hit. 7/10 .

..

Track 2 – Humko Rehna Hai – A typical Bollywood romantic song with stars running around in the fields in their traditional clothes.. mannn I can visualise the full thing…. Well the composition, instrumentation & arrangement of this song makes it easy to guess the sequence. The lyrics by Panchi Jalonvi are basic but conveys the message adequately. Shaan & Shreya Ghosal sound totally like villagers with their pronunciations & thus sweet in a way. It is not a hit song but not a bad one either. 5.5/10.

..

Track 3 – Jhoomo Re Jhoomo – Yet another multi-singer number for a festive village scene. Ad Boyz, Abhijit Ghoshal, Tarranum, Sujata Majumdar, Pavni Pandey & Dabboo Malik sing the below average lyrics of Panchi Jalonvi. Althought this song is groovier than the Track 1 in many compositional & instrumentation ways it lacks decent performances by any of the singers in the huge list. This song can play well in Dandiya & garba parties but lacks overall commercial appeal. 6.5/10 .

..

Track 4 – Neeche Sari Duniya – This might be the main title song of the movie & is with a religious twist. It describes farmers & the hard work they do in very suttle words penned by Salim Bijnori. What makes this song special are the vocals of Room Kumar Rathod. He is just the best for such thematic songs with his deep voice. He is supported by Harshdeep Kaur with the chants & harmonies. I love the instruments used & their arrangement in this song. Credits to Dabboo for that.. 7/10.

..

Track 5 – Waqt Ki Dhoop – This is a short sad interlude for the intense dramatic scenes in the movie for the turning point in the script. Toshi sings this with determination in his voice as if he is feeling those emotions. Very well performed as you can feel the character. Lyrics by Panchi are good too. The music is basic but the chorus is deep & soulful. Short & nice.. 6.5/10 .

..

Track 6 – Punjabi Munde (Remix) – We couldn’t have had a Bollywood soundtrack without a remix !! But frankly we could have done without this average ‘sounding like million other remixes’ track… Brother number 3 – Amal Malik is responsible for this. But at least this can now be used by DJ’s in desi wedding sets. 6/10 .

..

FINAL WORD

Simply Average – 6/10.

Well I can at least say Dabboo Malik can continue to get work in the industry as he can do a decent job unlike many others. But when it comes to doing something new or producing hits, neither HE nor this album go a long way. It’s purely an average listen with no big numbers. Lyrics, music composition & all vocals sound similar to many others that you have heard before. All songs are purely situational with relevance in the movie & thus at least make sense & are not out of place. Buy this OST only if you have a thing for early 90′s Bollywood sound.

..

From what you can make out of the trailers..  this looks like a CCC movie..  Cheesy Cheap Comedy !!  Neither the music or the movie has been released in the UK. I’d say be happy about that.. cause its not worth the Pounds..

..

I hear the movie is a copy of Saving Silverman. If only they had decided to keep the copy similar to the original in regards to ‘no music’ then this waste of an album would have been saved!! Daboo Malik is the brother of Anu Malik who has never been able to make a mark in mainstream Bollywood. He does obsolete sidelined flop movies soundtrack. I guess that’s why he’s on Kisse Pyaar Karoon now .. lol.. with lyricist Shabbir Ahmed.

Review

Track 1 – Kisse Pyaar Karoon – It has the amazing Shaan along with music director Daboo Malik at his worst!! Such a lousy title song. The lyrics are purely below average and the music has no heat. A simple loop with barely any variation or creativity. 4/10 .

..

Track 2 – Aahoon Aahoon -Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan sing this romantic belt-er. It reminds of late 90′s – early 2000′s Bollywood music only to a funkier slower beat. Good vocals but the composition lacks the oomph. The lyrics are good too but the overall package is average yet again. This track can get somewhat decent airplay on Asian radio stations in UK in the non-prime hours as the punch line is catchy. 6/10 .

..

Track 3 – Sanam Sanam – Probably the worst thing you will hear on this album. So damn cheaapp.. You will notice how bad Daboo’s music work is. His work sounds worse than the worst bedroom producers in this country. The beats sound polyphonic and the lyrics are rubbish. Shaan & Shreya Ghoshal are wasted. Take a pen and scratch the CD because of this song.. 2/10 .

..

Track 4 – Chunar Chunar – Shreya comes on with Rahul Vaidya on this track. It sounds as if it was made and is set in the the early 90′s. I can visualise proper Bollywood run around the bushes on this one. Daboo and Shabbir prove once again that they are simply crap at what they do.. 3/10 .

..

Track 5 – Jahan Tak Ye Meri Nazar – Finally some decent vocals by Shaan and Shreya on this OST. Albums like this prove that even seasoned singers like these have a ‘bad hair day’ with highs and lows. Although better than the others on this OST, this song is still the the worst work compared to their other songs. It simply implies Daboo needs lessons from his brother Anu Malik. 3/10.

..

Track 6 – Kisse Pyaar Karoon (Remix) – DJ Aqeel has been out of the scene for a while now. If he is counting on making a comeback with this.. then I hate to break his bubble. Although a few thousand times better than the original but still the song has no future. 6/10 .

..

Track 7 – Aahoon Aahoon (Remix) – Remix by Amal Malik ‘never heard of’. I prefer the original cause this man tries to make this a Spanish romantic song for a Bollywood movie. So not happening.. 5/10 .

..

FINAL WORD

Rubbish – 3/10 .

Never heard of production this bad. The compositions and instrumentation’s are simply horrid.. Lyrics and vocals are below average. The album is torture to anyone with even the slightest musical discretion. Recommended tracks – NONE. Should you buy this album - Might sound rude.. but you need to be MADDD..
