The duo remakes two songs from Sairat and adds a couple of originals to this album. Unlike the film, which is misguided, the Dhadak music album is quite good. This year, we have Ajay-Atul’s album for Dhadak, the remake of Marathi hit Sairat.
Last year AR Rahman’s OK Jaanu, a remake of Tamil OK Kanmani featured on this list. Here’s hoping she gets more chances to show her promise in 2019.ĭaas Dev is a good old-fashioned Bollywood album (ironically delivered through five composers) that came as a breath of fresh air considering every film was making the listener go “ oh god, one more remix”. It is unarguably the most cohesive and well-done track on the album. It is Anupama Raag who makes an indelible mark with her lone song ‘Azaad Kar’! It sounds rustic and earthy, and Swanand Kirkire’s vocals are perfect here. Arko and Shamir Tandon’s songs don’t really prosper like the rest of the album. ‘Tain To Uttey’ is rendered beautifully by Javed Bashir and one can almost mistake it for a Coke Studio song because of the singer and the rock-folk composition. ‘Sehmi Hai Dhadkan’, sung by Atif Aslam progresses quite well, like a rock anthem but it is Patwa’s other track which showcases the composer’s abilities. Vipin Patwa too impresses with his two songs.
Rekha Bhardwaj’s idiosyncratic vocals sound great layered on top of an electro-pop background. Sandesh Shandilya’s ‘Challa Chaap Chunariya’ is the pick of the two songs he has composed. Reminiscent of the sound of peak Emraan Hashmi era is Daas Dev, an effort of five composers. Let’s hope that in 2019, we’re spoilt with a choice - in an encouraging way - for all the spots. Do you give it to Padmaavat, which might have had some good songs with a mass appeal, but everything could be replaced for something better in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s repertoire? Or do you give it to Veere di Wedding, which boasts a truly modern OST, so much so that most of the songs would work a lot better as shorter versions to be used as the background score? Or a laudable attempt from Jasleen Royal who helmed a mainstream YRF film’s soundtrack in Hichki?Įventually, we were left with albums that didn’t evoke a second thought. The reason why, for the very first time in five years, this list was reduced from ten to nine, was because there were too many average contenders for the tenth spot. It has been a polarizing year for Hindi film music, with only a few from the large number of music releases above par.
