Music Review : COCKTAIL 2012

Saif Ali Khan presents COCKTAIL, his home production in association with Eros intl and his banner Illuminati Films. It stars Saif Ali Khan along with Deepika Padukone and the model Diana Penty.
MUSIC : PRITAM      LYRICS : IRSHAD KAMIL

The duo of Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal come together once again to produce the best album of the year so far. Best album that leaves Shanghai by Vishal Shekhar behind just because it is a complete album.

In short Cocktail music rocks.... Pritam is in top form in this album...


Lets start with the wonderful friendship song Daaru Desi
Daaru Desi with its unique tempo and execution is wonderful... Benny Dayal and Shalmali are in wonderful nick for the song. The song`s unique soothing tune works wonders. Definitely on my repeat list, and yes the starting guitar intro is nice..


Next is song from across the border, Jugni.
Jugni is an original composition from Arif Lohar who performed it in the Coke Studio Pakistan episode. Pritam has rearranged the song and yet has managed to capture the original`s soul in his version.


Next comes Luttna which in both versions pumps you up...the singers  and the music arrangement is wonderful...


Tumhi ho bandhu is Kavita seth all the way with neeraj shridhar chippin in wid the punch verse....

My favourite and the best song of the album is Yaariyaan...an ode to friendship and it is wonderful in both versions... Mohan Kannan of 'AGNEE' rocks the original version...while Sunidhi Chauhan is wonderful in the reprise and unplugged version...


nice work from Pritam... MUST LISTEN
