As ABCD 2 is a dance film, lots of music is expected and good quality music will help lift the film. After a disappointing music in the first part of ABCD, let us see if Sachin-Jigar can create magic this time.
Bezubaan Phir se- The start of this song is pretty encouraging but as it progresses, it gets pretty tiresome and painful to the ears and Vishal Dadlani's harsh vocals do not work either. This song may look better with the dance on screen but just without the video, the song is boring and surely a disappointment.
Naach Meri Jaan - The song starts with a routine disco sound like how most bollywood dance numbers start off. Then comes Benny Dayal's immature vocals and the song crashes and really turns out to be an irritating and cringing listen. This song does not strike even one bit and surely I would skip it.
Sun Saathiyaa- This is the first song of the album that gives me some hope of listening to some good quality music. This song is a really melodious affair and one has to listen to it with lots of patience and soak oneself into the melody. The song becomes even better when Divya Kumar enters the song as he adds extra spark into this ballad. Surely this is the song you would want to listen in this album.
Vande Mataram- The song starts off as if a primary school student is reciting a poem to his teacher. Then enters Divya Kumar again and starts singing some lines about the country and comparing it to mother. Then drum beats try to engage the listener and there is a mini rap but that actually to me takes away the initial melody the song had. This song is a complicated song and Sachin- Jigar have tried to do a lot with it and failed big time. The start was promising but over complicating things made it a pretty average number.
Chunar- This song is actually a good song with perfect lyrics and the whole credit goes to the lyricist . The music is okay and nothing great. Just some simple tunes and instruments . I think better choice of singer rather than Arjit would be good because this is not a song Arjit would enjoy singing. It is a good song if you are looking for good lyrics but apart from that nothing special.
Happy Birthday- Again Sachin- Jigar are trying too much to impress listeners and are making really boring and annoying songs. This song is surely a headache and I would not want to talk more about it. If you have panadol in your house then only listen to it.
Happy hour- This song sung by Mika Singh starts off with some good foot tapping music to have a dance on but after Mika enters , he just bores us and this song becomes a routine bollywood song and really shows us the poor quality of music in the movie. Just skip it and look for more quality music.
If you hold my hand- This is according to me one of the strongest songs of the album and after hearing such poor quality music till now, this song is a welcome break and surely this is the Sachin- Jigar we know. Foot tapping music and breezy instruments are the highlights of this song which is a very calm listen and surely a good one.
Hey Ganaraya- This song is the best song of the album and Divya Kumar's vocals are a treat to listen to. Great blend of Indian Classical and Folk and is a treat for people who like classical music. This song has excellent usage of maybe dhols and the 2 minute long classical interlude in the middle is the highlight of the album and this song deserves several repeats and some awards and accolades for sure.
Tatoo- This song just is an example of music directors getting carried away and trying to make massy numbers rather than some classy music . This song is a routine boring 21st century bollywood song and just gets worse as it progresses.
This album is definitely a dud and is not one you would want to listen to. A better album would help the film's cause but this album has more bad songs than the occasional good ones. Hey Ganaraya deserves yet another mention as being a pleasant listen
My picks- Hey Ganaraya, Sun Saathiyaa, If you hold my hand
Rating- 1.5 stars out of 5
