Bunty Aur Bubli rocks! Trust Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy to come up with yet another great piece of work. The flavour of this album is undoubtedly local. UP to be precise. My favourites are 'Dhadak Dhadak', 'Bunty Aur Bubli', 'B n B' and 'Kajra Re'.
BnB is westernised...its as one would say very 'catchy'. :D
Dhadak Dhadak, Bunty Aur Bubli are very hindustani, very UP. You can visualise the lanes-bylanes of Uttar Pradesh, pan-chewing men, women in their seedha-pallu saris or salwaar-kameez, busy railway platforms, small boys with kulher-chai.
Kajra Re is an awesome qawaali. Reminds me of the qawaalis of the 60s and 70s. RD's qawaalis. Saucy, naughty, sadak-chaap but still very very likeable. Never expected Alisha Chinoy to sing a qawaali! It's one of those songs when your head moves, fingers tap and you end up muttering a 'wah wah'! :D
I haven't watched the promos, but i reckon this one features Ash, AB and Abhishek....can't wait!
Chup Chup Ke is very melodious and romantic but a little tame and predictable in comparison to the above mentioned ones. There's also the mandatory Punjabi number - Nach Baliye, which i didn't warm up to.
I got a very RD feeling from these songs [especially the above-mentioned ones]. RD had composed some awesome hindustani, street-smart songs, capturing the essence of the local culture of UP-Bihar belt.
I think my dad will love these songs :D
