Joker Music Review: I Want Just You (Kafirana)

The album begins with the item number I Want Just You – Kafirana which is already a hit. We have heard hit folk item numbers from U.P and Bihar, but this one is a latest experiment in the series – a Maharashtrain item number with the theme of ‘Lavani’. Composed by Gaurav Dagaonkar and sung by powerhouse Sunidhi Chauhan, this is yet another addition to the family of ‘Sheela’ and’ Munni’. The catchy lines of the track I Want Just You were originally I Want ‘Fakht’ You that suggestively used a Marathi word and thereafter was changed to avert any controversy. This one is a fine composition that uses traditional Indian instruments that create their own magic.

Joker Music Review: Jugnu

The soulful and addictive voice of Udit Narayan is back with Jugnu. A nice treat to the listeners, the initiation of this track reminds one of the ever-so-memorable character ‘Jaadu’ from Koi… Mil Gaya. This one promises to fit in well with the story, courtesy lyrics by Shrish.

Joker Music Review: Sing Raja

Next in the list is Sing Raja with vocals being shared by the Bhangra maestro Daler Mehendi and Sonu Kakkar. This one is a fast and an electrifying number. Sing Raja seems to be more of a techno based fusion of the instruments with extremely bizarre lyrics that go as ‘Dance Kar Le English mein, aur naach le tu Hindi mein’. Overall the song proves to be an average affair.

Joker Music Review: Yeh Joker

Yeh Joker is a duet with vocals by Sonu Nigam and Shweta Pandit which marks the mood of celebration, joy and happiness. With add-on vocals by Gaurav and G.V Prakash, the song includes powerful beating of dhol and drums in the background, hence turning out to be quite energetic. Moreover, lyrics by Shirish are also uncomplicated and interesting.

Joker Music Review: Tears of Joker

The album moves ahead with Tears of Joker, an instrumental. The composer has very well blended various classical instruments including melodious flute, delightful and pleasant soft strings along with rhythmic tabla and a stunning sargam that prompt you to close your eyes and reach to a distant beautiful world. Female chorus in the background further enhances the beauty of this track. Tears of Joker is really an enjoyable number that adds another dimension to the music album.

Joker Music Review: Alien Arrival

The album concludes with an instrumental track Alien Arrival that very well sketches the arrival of Aliens, welcoming them to Akshay’s wonderland. This one is a good and powerful track, the opening of which resembles sound of the 80s with the later part resembling the beats of an army band. Composer Prakash has used the trumpet magnificently, hence infusing an element of passion and energy. This unusual and a diverse composition very well creates the right amount of suspense, anticipation and mystery which would certainly pull the audiences to the theaters.

Joker Music Review: The Last Word

Overall the tracks of Joker are good whereby each song has its own story to tell. Though not each one of them has chartbuster written on it, it has in it to fit in well into the film’s narrative.

For the ones who are not yet familiar with this film, I’ll introduce you to this movie. Joker has been directed by Shirish Kunder. Yes, you guessed it right. This , actually, is his second venture, the first one being Jaan-E-Mann. The writers’ credits for Joker go to a group of people whom Kunder has not yet brought to public glare. But one cannot miss to notice how similar the storyline is to that of the 2002 movie, Signs , directed by M. Night Shyamalan. Aliens, crop cycles and a group of villagers. As if aping the west was not enough, Joker borrows almost its center plot from Swades. Yes, the Shah Rukh Khan movie released in 2004 under the direction of Ashutosh Gowarikar. The protagonist, Akshay, is a NASA employee who returns to India. Seems an awful lot like Mohan Bhargav from Swades? Plus, the green aliens from Signs probably did not please the crew, hence they borrowed some art from the 1982 Steven Spielberg classic, The Extra-Terrestrial. Some rumors have been going around in the critical circuit that says probably the movie has borrowed some sub plots dealing with Independency of India from the Colonial rule that had been extended all over the land by the British Raj, from a Bengali film named Bhooter Bhobishyot which was released on 14th March 2012 under the direction of Anik Dutta.

As if all the personal lives crashing into the professional corridors of the celebrities was not enough, now film makers have to bend to the extent of borrowing so much from other films, that even this is generating publicity for their ventures. I guess it is too early to judge what Joker will be all about. But for Bollywood fans, it is very demoralizing to learn how the first trailer of “Joker” shouts out “thief” !

Chitrangda Singh in Kaafirana Item Song in Joker Movie Stills

Smiles Chitrangda, “‘Kaafirana’ is going to be special. It is a ‘lavani’ track and I had so much fun getting into a typical Maharashtrian dress up. Moreover the song is quite rustic, raw, sensual, something that I have never done before. Moreover with Farah Khan as the choreographer, the song has turned out to be really deadly. Just wait and watch for it.”

With an item number, a relatively serious film on sexual harassment (Inkaar) and a romcom (I, Me Aur Main), it seems like Chitrangda is really playing her cards well by shifting across genres instead of sticking to the so-called serious image that she had gained post ‘Hazaaron Khwaishen Aisi‘.

“I guess as an actor I was doing similar kind of work over and over again. However after a while I wasn’t getting too excited to be doing another one of those films again. I wanted a change and do something different. Now my upcoming films are exploring different territories as well”, she says.

Well Chitrangda, we too would love to see the change for sure.
