Game - Music Review

Cast :: Abhishek Bachchan, Kangna Ranaut, Sarah, Jimmy Sheirgill

Shankar Ehsaan Loy are on a roll in 2011. First Patiala House, which came with some pretty decent tracks, then the official world cup song and now they have come with Game which is their latest offering. Apart from Shankar Ehsaan Loy, what makes Game, an album to look out for is that the movie is produced by Farhaan Akhtar and lyrics penned by his father Javed Akhtar. Already, S-E-L and Farhaan team have given us musical chartbusters like Dil Chahta Hai, Don and Rock On, so expectations from Game multiplies.

Game is an edge of seat who-dunnit thriller and if such movies are supported by good music, they turn out to be blockbuster hits like Race, Humraaz, Gupt and so on have proved in the past.

The album comprises of 4 original tracks, 3 remixes and 1 reprise. The first track is the title song It's A Game, which may appear in the starting credits or as a background theme piece, which may be running throughout the movie. Vishal Dadlani tries his best, but the song itself is ordinary. This may be the ideal song to open the movie, but ain't ideal enough to open the album.

Maine Kab Yeh Socha Tha, sung by Shaan, Anusha Mani and Loy, which comes in next, is a romantic number with a soulful melody. The number grows slowly on you, on repeated listening's you can't just help but fall in love with this track. It may not turn out to be a runaway hit but it is surely worth listening again and again, enjoy it while it lasts.

The next track is Mehki Mehki, which also features in the theatrical trailer is another melodious number sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Kshitij. The lyrics of this song are the best of the lot, and the singers especially Shreya has done a tremendous job with the vocals, Kshitij is also impressive. The song strikes the right chord instantly and is surely going to be loved by many. Definitely the best track of the album as it does not take much time in getting you addicted to it.

The final original track Kaun Hai Ajnabi falls in the category what Bardaasht Nahi Kar Sakta was for Humraaz or Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela was for Gupt or Khwaab Dekhe was for Race, it is a song which comes with a Super Hit tag. Once again its KK who weaves the magic ably supported by Aditi Singh Sharma. If picturized and promoted well this song can turn out to become pretty huge.

The remixes which are in next, again like any other bollywood album, make the original tracks look masterpiece. At best the remixes just pump up the tempo of the songs while the reprise of the title song is just about average.

Giving good music for a thriller is not everyone's cup of tea, but Shankar Ehsaan Loy do a splendid job this time with Game. Not to forget Dil Chahta Hai was a rom-com and Rock On was a musical, hence the music had great scope but thrillers do not allow that much of freedom, considering this although Game is not as great as a DCH or a Rock On but still full marks to S-E-L to come up with tracks such as Mehki Mehki, Kaun Hai Ajnabi and Maine Kab Yeh Socha Tha. Now with digital sales being the primary income source since people rarely buy CD's these 3 songs will be most favourite for many listeners.

The music of Game surely thrills you. Go get it as soon as possible!
