Chennai Express - Music Review


Chennai Express (Vishal-Shekhar)

I'm not getting on the dance floor after listening to 1234 Get on the Dance Floor. The song is huge disappointment with an ordinary tune. I liked the south Indian interludes of the song with the flutes. If this was in a smaller budget film this would've been skipped right away. I liked Titli the moment I saw the trailer, Chinmayi's voice is light on the ears. The south Indian portions of the songs take it to a next level with the flute. The lyrics of Tera Rasta Chhodon Na sounds misplaced with the fast paced guitar template which makes the song sound tacky overall, skip. The mix of the strings and flutes in Kashmir Main Tu Kanyakumar makes it a fun listen. The singers maintain the energy throughout which makes it a good listen however there isn't anything really that makes the song stand out. Ready Steady Po could've been another Raftaarein however the techno song is overtly autotuned while the lyrics are too basic to make any impact, skip. I liked the title song because of the chorus portion only which is the only highlight of the song as the remainder is rehashed techno beats that sound out of place with S.P's voice.

Recommendation: SKIP the album. Vishal-Shekhar, what happened? Titli is a must-buy single and Chennai Express should be considered for a buy. I'm hoping the songs sound better after seeing the movie.

  3. Can say the direction of Rohit Shetty was awesome in Chennai Express and role played by SRK and Deepika is really fabulous but the lacking part in this movie is music only otherwise movie is really great and one time watch for fun and comedy.
