Ramaiya Vastavaiya - Music Review

Ramaiya Vastavaiya (Sachin-Jigar)

Jeene Laga Hoon is definitely one of the best songs for the year already and one of my all-time favorite Atif Aslam songs. The 90s appeal in the melody is hard to come by with the songs of today and this song finds itself having strong repeat and sing-along quotient. Hip Hop Pammi is surprisingly more desi than hip-hop. Nonetheless the song is crisp and good dance material. Bairiyaa has a bit of Tera Naal Ho Gaya hangover but its still a good song. Mohit Chauhan's Peeche Chutte is enjoyable because of the flute and the hook rama rama rama re hai rama rama re. Rang Jo Lagyo has got to be one the most innovative fusion between rock and classical Indian instruments. I didn't find the song itself to be outstanding though. Like Changli Hai Changli from Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, this is another Mika Singh messy dance song. It's disappointing because I expected alot from this song as it is Jacqueline Fernandez's item song.

Recommendation: Buy the album, if not Jeene Laga Hoon and Hip-Hop Pammi are the must buy singles!
