EXPECTATIONS
Frankly,
there
aren't
many
expectations
from
the
music
of
Bumm
Bumm
Bole.
Firstly
being
a
kid
film
come's
with
limited
scope
of
incorporating
songs
that
can
boast
of
a
wide
commercial
range.
Secondly,
the
credit
details
around
the
composers
(Azaan
Sami,
Tapas
Relia
and
M.G.
Sreekumar)
doesn't
quite
make
you
jump
with
joy
due
to
lack
of
familiarity
factor.
MUSIC
It's
a
good
start
though
for
the
title
song
'Bumm
Bumm
Bole'
which
has
a
feel-good
quality
to
it,
courtesy
the
'happy
singing'
that
Shaan
indulges
in.
The
kind
of
track
which
reminds
one
of
the
title
song
of
Ta
Ra
Rum
Pum
(in
terms
of
genre
and
treatment),
'Bumm
Bumm
Bole'
is
written
by
Irfan
Siddiqui
and
composed
by
Azaan
Sami,
son
of
Adnan
Sami.
The
boy
makes
his
debut
as
a
composer
for
a
Bollywood
film
with
this
title
song
and
does
a
good
job
here.
One
would
look
forward
to
more
compositions
from
him
and
see
what
he
has
to
offer.
The
sound
of
Bumm
Bumm
Bole
can
be
heard
right
through
the
second
track
in
the
album,
'Ashaon
Ke
Pankh'.
A
motivational
number
by
Satish
Mutatkar
about
rising
up
in
life,
taking
all
challenges
heads
up
and
moving
ahead
while
taking
care
of
any
road
blocks
that
may
come
in
one's
way,
'Ashaon
Ke
Pankh'
is
a
Tapas
Relia
composed
track.
In
the
context
of
the
film,
this
chorus
track
by
Rishikesh
Kamerkar,
Rajiv
Sundaresan,
Kshitij
Wagh
and
Kirti
Sagathia
may
make
some
impact
but
as
a
standalone
number,
it
doesn't
inspire
you
much
to
revisit
it.
Malini
Awasthi
sung
'Mann
Ki
Aasha'
is
so
80s
in
its
appeal
and
takes
its
cue
from
Ilayaraja
brand
of
music
from
down
South.
Written
by
Sameer,
it
is
has
a
similar
motivational
theme
to
it
but
honestly,
sounds
quite
boring
and
passe.
The
makers
may
have
thought
of
presenting
something
really
simple
but
it's
the
folk
flavour
of
Malini's
singing
and
M.G.
Sreekumar's
composition
which
acts
as
more
of
a
put
off
rather
than
a
turn
on.
The
sound
of
guitar
kick
starts
'Rang
De'
which
sees
the
team
of
Tapas
Relia
and
Satish
Mutatkar
reuniting.
A
soft
track
which
finds
it's
base
in
the
overall
mood
and
flavour
of
Taare
Zameen
Par
music,
'Rang
De'
starts
sounding
good
after
repeated
hearing
and
should
find
good
acceptance
amongst
kids
looking
for
a
soothing
outing.
The
arrangements
are
just
right
by
being
soft
and
in
the
background
rather
than
on
your
face
while
singing
by
Clinton
Cerejo,
Shasha
Tirupathi
and
Kirti
Sagathia
is
perfect.
OVERALL
In
entirety,
the
album
is
definitely
no
Taare
Zameen
Par.
However,
though
there
aren't
any
bad
sounding
songs
per
se,
the
ones
which
stay
on
to
some
extent
are
the
title
song
and
'Rang
De'.
Hear
the
album
for
some
time
mainly
for
these
numbers.
