Expectations:
With
absolutely
nothing
known
about
Impatient
Vivek,
one
doesn't
have
any
expectations
whatsoever
from
the
music
as
well.
Add
to
that
an
unconventional
title
like
this
and
one
is
not
even
clear
about
the
genre
of
the
film,
hence
making
one
further
apprehensive
about
what
composers
Raja
Ali,
Neeraj
Shrivastava,
Shahdaab
Bhartya
and
Anamik
Chauhan
have
to
offer.
Music:
The
manner
in
which
'Ek
Pari
Pagal
Si'
begins,
it
reminds
one
of
the
many
a
romantic
tracks
that
have
been
composed
by
Pritam
in
the
last
3-4
years,
what
with
an
English
passage
marking
a
kick
start.
Neeraj
Shrivastava
is
the
composer
as
well
as
lyricist
here
(along
with
Rahul
Seth)
and
comes
up
with
a
passable
tune
that
doesn't
have
anything
new
to
offer.
What
catches
one's
attention
at
this
point
is
the
fact
that
the
singer
here
is
Vivek
Sudershan
who
is
also
the
lead
in
the
film.
In
fact
on
being
looked
further,
it
is
revealed
that
he
has
actually
sung
most
of
the
songs
in
the
album.
Nevertheless
coming
back
to
'Ek
Pari
Pagal
Si',
it
also
has
Rahul
Seth
and
Sharmistha
coming
together
with
Vivek
to
create
a
romantic
number
that
just
manages
to
pass
muster
even
though
it
is
repeated
in
the
'Love
Reprise'
version.
There
is
an
attempt
to
bring
on
some
fun
element
with
'Ye
Banda
Maskalandar'
which
could
well
have
been
the
title
song
here,
courtesy
the
words
Impatient
Vivek
at
the
very
start.
Trying
to
bring
on
a
Punjabi
fusion
here,
composer
Raja
Ali
also
chips
in
some
rap
portions.
However,
the
overall
impact
created
by
this
Rahat
Kazmi
written
track
isn't
anything
great
to
write
home
about
as
Vivek
Sudershan
and
Shazneen
pair
up
as
singers
here.
One
does
feel
though
that
it
was
actually
a
wrong
choice
to
have
Vivek
as
a
singer
here
as
he
doesn't
quite
come
across
as
someone
for
whom
singing
is
the
prime
profession.
However
the
makers
thought
otherwise
and
hence
Vivek
is
heard
again
in
'Tujhe
Manga
Hai'
which
is
a
Nusrat
Badr
written
track.
A
love
song
that
has
been
given
a
sonic
feel
by
composer
Raja
Ali,
'Tujhe
Manga
Hai'
gets
into
a
lovey-dovey
mood
but
doesn't
quite
make
one
'impatient'
enough
to
play
it
on
all
over
again.
The
good
part
though
is
that
it
has
an
uncluttered
sound
(even
in
its
'remix
version'),
hence
being
easy
on
ears.
The
moment
one
reads
Hariharan's
name
on
the
credits,
it
is
obvious
that
'Pal
Hai
Makhmali' would
be
a
poetic
soft
song.
This
is
exactly
what
composer
Shahdaab
Bhartya
and
lyricist
Sanjay
Mishra
have
to
offer.
The
end
result
is
hardly
enticing
though
as
the
song
is
totally
boring
from
the
word
'go'.
Coming
with
enough
ammunition
to
put
one
to
instant
sleep,
'Pal
Hai
Makhmali'
has
newcomer
Asmita
Dhuldhoye
pairing
up
with
Hariharan.
Thankfully
there
is
some
excitement
in
store
with
Aamir
Ali
written
'Meri
Nindiya
Udne'
turning
out
to
be
the
first
ever
track
in
the
album
that
actually
makes
you
tap
your
feet
at
least.
No,
it
isn't
a
great
song
by
any
means
nor
is
it
the
kind
that
makes
one
feel
that
if
only
it
would
have
come
at
the
top
of
the
album,
the
results
would
have
been
much
different.
However,
the
very
fact
that
the
songs
before
these
didn't
have
much
to
write
home
about
that
one
even
gladly
laps
up
this
average
dance
track
by
Raja
Ali
which
is
aided
by
some
energetic
rendition
by
Vivek
Sudershan
and
Tarannum
Mallik.
The
title
song
comes
much
later
in
the
day
with
Dominque
Cejero
and
Vivek
Sudershan
getting
together
for
'Impatient
Vivek'.
An
English
song
written
by
Binish
Khan
and
put
to
tune
by
Anamik
Chauhan,
one
can
well
expect
a
music
video
for
this
dance
track
which
is
actually
not
bad
and
does
make
one
tap
your
feet
after
it
has
been
heard
a
couple
of
times.
After
a
couple
of
decent
tracks
(Meri
Nindiya
Udne,
Impatient
Vivek)
there
is
a
dip
in
the
proceedings
once
again
with
'Khuraphat'
turning
out
to
be
a
'skip
after
a
single
listening
itself'
kind
of
a
track.
Sounding
so
much
like
an
early
80s
song
from
the
films
that
starred
Mithun
Chakravorty,
'Khuraphat'
is
written
and
composed
by
Neeraj
Shrivastava.
Not
really
going
anywhere,
'Khuraphat'
makes
one
check
out
the
last
song
in
the
album
and
see
if
it
is
any
better.
What
one
gets
to
hear
though
is
a
tune
which
is
just
not
in
synch
with
the
rest
of
the
album
and
is
in
fact
poorly
arranged
as
well.
An
effort
by
composer
Raja
Ali
and
lyricist
Aamir
Ali,
'Ishq
Musibat'
is
a
sad
take
on
love
and
only
becomes
further
sad
due
to
listless
singing
by
Vivek
Sudershan.
In
fact
one
deserves
a
pat
on
the
back
for
listening
to
it
even
once
in
entirety.
Overall
Though
there
was
nothing
that
one
expected
from
Impatient
Vivek,
it
did
flatter
to
deceive
at
a
couple
of
junctures.
However
the
rest
of
the
album
doesn't
even
come
close
to
being
average
hence
making
one
let
go
off
this
soundtrack
after
a
single
listening
itself.
