I think who had patience to give this one multiple listening, did turn around liking it.
or the ones who bought Original CD, rather listening to crapola quality online and submitting the verdict, did like it too!

Ones who dont have tunnel hearing, and can let variety of music reach their system will for sure get a fair chance to like it!

Subash K Jha, a super idiot, wont like Parineeta, nor Paheli..So, Once Idiot is always Idiot I guess!!

another link! But beware it is not easy kurti sexy, balle, shava listening!

This is a situational song!! and by no means worse than dhinak dhina, the soar thumb of parineeta!!

Thanks for the tricks in above posts. Got to listen the songs.
Raat Kati song alone is worth acquiring its CD. All other songs are good to excellent and definitely are of the type that grow on you.
There is good Rajasthani folk music/ lingo touch and hence not everyone may like it just like music with Punjabi touch.

Paheli music is going to be popular in Delhi, West UP, Haryana, Punjab and of course Rajasthan and North Gujrat.

Excluding Paheli, perhaps the best, genuine and most famous Puppet song was Daddy Cool Cool Cool from SRK's CHAAHAT. SRK and Anupam Kher, both were excellent in that song.

Purab Aur Pachhim song was a Puppet song in visuals but not in audio.

I agree, rana, PAP song was like many more that I have seen in movies where characters look at puppet and then become a dream song.

I think there was one in AGAR TUM NA HOTTE too?

Another Puppet type song was in Hema Malini-Jeetrender's "Bhaio Ho To Aisa". Bol Meri Guddi Tujhe Gudda Kabool.

Still, most of these songs were really Doll type characters and not pure Kathputli characters. Chaahat song was genuine Kathputli theme, tune and lyrics.

--------------------

Sure, discussion has shifted towards Kathputli/ Doll songs in "PAHELI" thread but it seems legit as Paheli's Kathputli theme/ music is being compared with similar songs.

Interweaving the story of three women is this film produced by Vashu Bhagnani and directed by Khalid Mohammed of Fiza and Tehzeeb fame. Frontline stars like Tabu, Bhumika Chawla, Celina Jaitley, Rahul Bose, Riya Sen, Divya Dutta, Natassha, KK, Jimmy Shergill and Ashmit Patel play the lead. Unlike Khalid’s former ventures, this film represents positive and entertaining feel. Keeping on with the lively note, the director has decided to go with the mainstream musician Himesh Reshammiya and Sameer.

The soundtrack opens with a duet by Kunal Ganjawala and Alka Yagnik. ‘Ban Jaiye’ is rich in melody and harmony. It may sound like a vintage Himesh and honestly it is one such, but it won’t leave you displeased on that note. The song forwards a lot of dexterity.

‘Meri Chandi Tu’ brings together a caboodle of high-pitched singers like Sunidhi Chauhan, Suzan and Kailash Kher. The club song being pacy and frothy, the voices do the right justice to it. But the song is a wrong fit. Even the super sounding voice of Kailash Kher is not used to the best, as he squeals out what the chorus is best at.

Kunal Ganjawala also succumbs to the same fate as Kailash Kher for ‘Meri Jaan Ho Tum’. He doesn’t get a proper due as he appears after small breaks to croon one or two line. Sadhana Sargam shoulders the track but appears feeble. This love song turns to be a hate song by the time it ends.

‘Jab Jab Dil Mile - Pyaar Ke Ho Gaye Silsiilay’ is the title song sung by Sonu Nigam. He croons away in a fluid tone though never missing the punch and rhythm. A perfect dance floor number but more of a situational song in the film.


‘Ahista Ahista’ another duet by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal is a fine number. The singers waltzes across the octaves with ease and the song too is a pleasant episode.

‘Belibaas’ by Sunidhi Chauhan, Suzan and Jayesh Gandhi passes muster. The tempestuous track is sure to make your eyes come out of their socket on screen. The track itself gives the glimpse to it.

Another club song in the same soundtrack is ‘Tere Liye Mere Jazbaat’. Alisha Chinoy, Jolly Mukherjee and Jayesh Gandhi croon out this raucous and rollicking number. Must confront that there is no club element present in it.

The audio of the track is a mediocre affair. The songs are pretty frail and average. There is no tune at hand that hangs on to you. It is more of a cold episode turning colder and colder!

I think it was possibly Hema again, where actors are tied with strings and very efficiently they depict their dance movements as puppets!! I was really impressed? rana!

Whilst running the risk of drifting completly off-topic ... IMHO the best puppet movie song I have seen has to be 'Jahan Mai Jaati Hoon' from the movie Chori Chori ... Raj Kapoor and NArgis were superb dressed as puppets for this scene!

Bah...all puppets are useless...The best puppet song (anytime, anywhere)...is...was...will be.....

SRK-Amol problems?

By Our Correspondent ©2005 Bollyvista.com






Shah Rukh Khan and Amol Palekar at the Paheli Music Launch event
SRK denies having had any creative problems with his director Amol Palekar ('Paheli') and the latter maintains that SRK was a wonderful producer and actor to have around. From what we hear, this is far from reality. The producer-actor and director are said to have been at major loggerheads with each other during the shoot of this film, which is based on a novel called 'Duvidha' by Vijaydan Detha.

Broadly, the film is about Lachchi (Rani Mukherji) falling in love with her husband's (Shah Rukh Khan) ghost (and vice versa), also played by Shah Rukh Khan, much to the surprise of her husband when he returns after his business visit. The story deals with resolving the issue on who is real and who is ghostly, and of course, how Lachchi has to choose between the ghost's eternal love and her husband's insensitive monotone. 'Paheli' will release on June 17th.

It's a NO! NONE, NADA!!!! I'm in perfect balance this time around!

Brutus you too!!! What a pleasant surprise!

I am so glad that composer director did not punish us with dheere jalna, kangna, raat jali remix lol :no pity: on those jerks.

Similarly, some don't like Bubli and Bunti, but I think it is fun filled, light hearted sound track, that has some thing for every one!

If I compare BNB with Saathyia or Mission Kashmir etc? the results will be huge disappointment as those were altogether different kinda films and soundtracks were tailor made for those!

But, If I compare this with EAEG or BMCM , the ones that were based on CON-MENS, then surely, no doubt it pleasantly fills the bill! Just my cheap 2 cents!

Red Chillies Entertainment, SRK’s production company, returns to the big screen after 2004’s Main Hoon Na with 2005’s Paheli. Boasting of a stellar starcast with such names as Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan himself, Rani Mukherji, Juhi Chawla, and Suniel Shetty, the film also marks the first true commercial venture of renowned filmmaker Amol Palekar. Based on a Rajasthani novel entitled “Duvidha” by author Vijaydan Detha, the film tells the story of a married village girl who falls in love with a ghost who takes on the appearance of her husband.

The album’s music is created by M.M. Kreem, a music director whose music is featured in only a few albums a year. Kreem is the director who earlier crafted wonderful compositions in films like Zakhm, Sur, Jism, Saaya, and even Criminal (who can forget “Tu Mile Dil Khile”?) In this film, Kreem is responsible for turning Gulzar’s poetry into song.

Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal unite for the first track, “Dheere Jalna”. The song begins with just Nigam’s voice, which is at its best. The tempo is slow and gradually music is added to compliment his vocals. The song treads the territory of classical music and M.M. Kreem does full justice to the song. Flutes, tablas, shehnaais - they are all featured in this song. The song alternates between slow, soft, and mellow to fast and loud; however, it’s done in such a way that the change in pace flows well. Ghoshal joins Nigam towards the end and proves again why she is a force to reckon with as far as female vocalists are concerned. The song is easily the best on the album.

Classical music continues to predominate in the next song, “Kangana Re”, a song that contains strong elements of Rajasthani folk music. The song is sung by Shreya Ghoshal who is joined by Bela Shende, Madhushree, and Kalapini Komakali, who is responsible for the husky, deep Rajasthani vocals interspersed throughout the song. Gulzar displays his immense versatility by fine-tuning the lyrics to adapt perfectly to Rajasthani culture. Ghoshal is the lead-player in this song and does a wonderful job. Sonu Nigam is briefly featured in this song as the only male voice and does a more than adequate job.

Sukhwinder Singh returns to the musical scene after what seems a brief hiatus with “Phir Raat Kati”, joined by one of today’s most deservedly popular singers, Sunidhi Chauhan. This song is one that may not appeal to everyone, but marks go to both Singh and Chauhan who do a wonderful job with the vocals and genuinely sound as though they are having a blast with this song. The song stays within the Rajasthani folk music realm and will probably be very entertaining to watch on screen. It is the fastest paced song on the album and is featured twice, the second version being no different than the first. Of note, the song is heavily reminiscent of Lagaan’s “Ghaana Na Ghaana Na”.

Kreem plays a different role with “Laaga Re Jal Laaga”, this time as a singer featured in his own composition. He is joined by Sonu Nigam and Shruti Sadolikar for this purely situational song whose theme focuses on a rainfall. Nigam continues to excel and is the main vocalist in this song, with support from Kreem mainly during the chorus. Sadolikar makes an appearance towards the end of the song with her heavy, husky vocals most likely suited for a mother figure in the film and not for our main heroine.

One of today’s most underrated male vocalists, Hariharan, joins Bela Shende for “Khaali Hai Tere Bina Dono Ankhiyan”. The track begins with an interesting violin instrumental and is gradually joined by Hariharan’s voice, which perfectly reflects the pathos our hero is experiencing at this particular moment in this film. Hariharan renders such a poignant performance that it sounds as though he is the one suffering. Shinde’s voice is pleasant and ironically similar to Ghoshal’s and although she does a fine job, one can’t help but to miss Ghoshal on this slow-paced, emotion-laden track.

The final track is “Minnat Kare”, another situational song that features only female singers. Sung by Madhushree, Shreya Ghoshal, and Bela Shende, the song’s strongest aspect is its lyrics which convey a group of girls’ instructions to her friend on how to playfully refuse her lover. The song should appeal to many, especially those who appreciate Gulzar’s lyrical abilities.

Overall, Paheli is a great diversion from many of today’s soundtracks that are heavy on pop, Western influences. The soundtrack is a return to rich Indian music, paying tribute to both classical elements and Rajasthani folk music. It ranks as one of the best albums of 2005 thus far and should only add to the anticipation of this film.
