"Woh
Lamhe,
Woh
baatein,
Koi
na
jaane"
-
taking
a
cue
from
these
words,
this
time
it
is
the
turn
of
Mahesh
Bhatt
to
tell
a
story
close
to
his
heart
through
the
film
Woh
Lamhe.
Based
on
incidents
from
his
relationship
with
late
actress
Parvin
Babi,
Woh
Lamhe
stars
Kangna
Ranaut
as
a
female
lead
with
Shiney
Ahuja
playing
the
male
protagonist.
Though
the
last
release
from
Vishesh
Films,
The
Killer,
was
an
aberration
when
one
looks
at
its
music,
for
all
these
years
majority
of
their
films
have
boasted
of
a
superb
score.
Their
Gangster
is
still
selling
in
a
big
way
and
one
has
great
expectations
from
the
composer
Pritam
who
returns
with
Woh
Lamhe.
After
hearing
the
music
one
can
safely
say
that
Woh
Lamhe
is
a
comfortable
addition
to
your
repertoire
of
enjoyable
soundtracks.
Pritam
creates
a
great
setting
through
his
brilliant
musical
arrangements
just
before
the
man
of
all
seasons,
KK,
starts
crooning
'Kya
Mujhe
Pyar
Hai'.
The
chorus
effect
at
the
very
beginning
is
simply
haunting
and
when
KK
gets
into
the
groove
with
his
rocking
rendition;
you
know
that
you
have
one
of
the
best
rendered,
written
and
composed
song
of
the
year
in
hands.
Neelesh
Misra's
lyrics
have
freshness
to
it
that
make
poetry
sound
so
simple
that
it
makes
you
wonder
why
is
it
such
a
rarity
in
today's
times?
Now
after
this
good
news,
a
saddening
piece
of
information.
'Kya
Mujhe'
is
a
straight
lift
from
a
song
called
'Tak
Bisakah'
which
has
been
composed
and
sung
by
one
of
Indonesia's
most
popular
and
successful
pop
groups,
'Peterpan'!
Of
course
Pritam
has
made
the
Indian
version
much
peppier
and
exciting
but
the
'inspiration'
factor
doesn't
seem
to
be
abandoning
Bhatts
and
the
composer.
Well,
if
one
ignores
the
inspiration
then
it
can't
be
denied
that
'Kya
Mujhe'
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
most
heard
tracks
this
year.
DJs
A
Myth
and
Kiran
take
the
song
to
a
new
level
altogether
as
they
arrive
with
a
snazzier
remix
version
of
the
song
that
is
again
an
awesome
piece
of
music.
One
gets
excited
by
the
very
mention
of
singer
James
who
appears
in
the
credits
for
'Chal
Chale'.
For
starters,
James
is
the
same
singer
who
sung
the
popular
'Bheegi
Bheegi'
earlier
this
year
in
the
film
Gangster.
From
sounding
intoxicated
in
'Bheegi
Bheegi',
James
is
quite
full
of
life
in
'Chal
Chale'
which
is
yet
another
beautiful
number
that
is
written
by
Sayeed
Quadri
this
time
around.
A
song
about
a
lover
taking
his
beloved
to
a
distance
place
where
it
will
be
only
them
with
nothing
else
surrounding
them,
it
is
a
beautiful
piece
of
melody
[hopefully
an
original!]
Catchy
and
appearing
very
nice
to
ears,
'Chal
Chale'
has
James
sounding
a
lot
like
Amit
Kumar
and
makes
one
think
all
over
again
that
where
is
the
talented
singer
of
the
early
80s
these
days.
Except
for
some
gems
sung
by
him
in
'Jhankar
Beats',
there
is
little
that
one
has
heard
of
Amit
Kumar
in
last
few
years!
Just
like
Subhash
Ghai
has
his
stamp
all
over
the
songs
in
the
films
directed
by
him,
even
Mahesh
Bhatt
too
always
has
a
song
or
two
that
carry
a
Bhatt
stamp.
'Tu
Jo
Nahin'
is
one
such
track
that
marks
the
arrival
of
a
new
singer
Glenn
John.
He
sings
this
'ghazal'
with
aplomb
and
it
is
simply
amazing
to
hear
a
near
flawless
rendition
from
him
as
he
croons
this
Sayeed
Quadri
written
track.
Reminiscent
of
the
songs
that
Anu
Malik
used
to
compose
for
Mahesh
Bhatt
films
in
the
past,
'Tu
Jo
Nahin'
is
a
third
straight
gem
in
quick
succession
that
makes
'Woh
Lamhe'
an
excellent
album
so
far.
A
classy
track
with
appropriate
arrangements,
it
establishes
the
fact
that
Pritam
is
a
composer
to
reckon
with,
with
or
without
an
inspiration
because
the
fact
that
is
that
what
he
brings
to
Bollywood
music
is
some
great
music
to
hear.
Period!
The
beauty
of
the
song
necessitates
a
repeat
hearing
and
that's
the
reason
one
hears
'Tu
Jo
Nahin'
again.
Woh
Lamhe
has
beauty
written
all
over
it
and
it
is
apparent
when
Shreya
Ghoshal
croons
a
melodious
'So
Jaoon
Main'.
A
song
written
by
Shakeel
Aazmi
with
guest
composer
Roop
Kumar
Rathod
chipping
in,
it
is
a
soulful
number
about
a
female
who
is
looking
for
assurance
and
support
from
her
beloved
and
is
ready
to
let
go
everything
for
her
love.
Inspite
of
its
6
minutes
long
duration,
it
is
a
track
that
one
would
love
to
listen
for
an
extended
period
of
time.
Kunal
Ganjawala,
a
regular
with
Pritam,
ensures
that
this
happens
as
he
sings
the
male
version
of
the
same
track.
He
adds
his
own
nuances
to
a
song
that
is
anyways
a
great
hear
and
makes
it
a
twin
treat
for
the
listeners.
Just
like
the
album
began
with
an
inspiration
[Kya
Mujhe
Pyaar
Hai],
the
album
ends
with
one
as
well.
'Bin
Tere'
is
a
song
in
question
that
is
in
fact
a
track
originally
sung
by
Pakistani
singer
Jawad
Ahmad
some
time
back.
He
is
roped
in
to
sing
the
track
again
for
'Woh
Lamhe'
and
just
like
'Kya
Mujhe
Pyar
Hai',
if
one
ignores
the
originality
factor;
'Bin
Tere'
is
another
superb
number
to
hear
to.
Pritam
is
good
at
rearranging
the
track
and
comes
up
with
a
version
that
suits
the
Bollywood
setting
to
the
T.
Nice'n'soothing
melody
coupled
with
simple
lyrics
by
Sayeed
Quadri
add
on
'Bin
Tere'
to
the
highly
enjoyable
compilation
of
songs
in
Woh
Lamhe.
Woh
Lamhe
is
a
second
straight
winner
in
a
row
for
Bhatts
and
Pritam
after
a
super
successful
Gangster.
Yes,
there
are
'inspirations'
galore
but
as
far
as
giving
a
new
sound
to
music
lovers
to
cherish
is
concerned,
both
Vishesh
Films
and
Pritam
have
gone
all
out
in
their
endeavor.
Each
and
every
song
has
been
treated
to
beautiful
melody
and
it
is
difficult
to
point
out
a
single
number
that
works
most.
The
album
also
succeeds
in
breaking
the
Bhatt-T-Series
jinx
that
had
earlier
seen
disappointments
in
the
form
of
Nazar
and
The
Killer.
The
album
perfectly
mixes
class
with
mass
oriented
soundtrack
and
would
be
popular
amongst
those
who
have
traditionally
like
Bhatt
brand
of
music.
