Amongst
all
the
biggies
[Fanaa,
KANK]
and
Reshammiya
wave
[Ahista
Ahista,
PHP,
CCK]
arrives
the
music
of
Yun
Hota
To
Kya
Hota.
USP
of
the
film
is
Naseeruddin
Shah
making
his
directorial
debut
while
the
film
is
episodic
in
nature
with
a
character/situation
driven
plot.
A
Shabbir
Boxwala
production,
the
film
has
been
ready
for
quite
some
time
and
should
now
eventually
see
a
July
release.
A
multistarrer
with
Paresh
Rawal
leading
the
pack
followed
by
Jimmy
Shergill,
Irrfan
Khan,
Konkona
Sen
Sharma,
Ayesha
Takia,
Ratna
Pathak,
Saroj
Khan,
Boman
Irani,
Suhasini
Mulay,
Ranveer
Shourey,
Makrand
Deshpande
along
with
newcomers
Ankur
Khanna,
Shahana
Goswami,
Sameer
Sheikh,
Meghna
Malik,
Uttkarsh
Majumdar,
Imaad
Shah
and
Trishla
Patel,
the
film
has
music
by
Viju
Shah
and
lyrics
by
Sameer.
With
a
subject
like
YHTKH,
there
is
not
much
expectation
from
the
music
front
and
only
four
tracks
in
the
film
reaffirm
the
perception
that
it
is
certainly
not
a
musical.
Title
song
Yun
Hota
To
Kya
Hota
has
an
element
of
cool
breeze
but
still
doesn't
go
an
extra
distance
to
be
remembered
for
days
to
come.
Kunal
Ganjawala
and
Sunidhi
Chauhan
do
well
with
the
soft
musical
arrangements,
while
lyrics
have
a
slight
poetic
feel
to
them
as
well
but
overall
what
remains
with
you
is
a
sense
of
dejÀ
vu!
Mush
and
romance
are
alright
but
still
there
is
lack
of
any
hammer
strong
impact
that
could
make
you
feel
for
the
characters
while
they
continue
to
fall
deeper
in
love.
An
okay
number
at
the
beginning
of
the
album
when
one
expected
something
much
better.
'Ek
Baar
Jaana
America'
could
well
be
termed
as
the
theme
song
of
the
film
Yun
Hota
To
Kya
Hota
since
it
deals
with
the
journey
of
numerous
individuals
to
the
country
of
their
dreams
for
AMERICA.
Set
as
a
'dandia-mix'
number,
it
has
the
singers
Madhushree,
Javed
Ali,
Kirti
Sagatia
and
Devchand
Gadhvi
narrating
the
aspirations
of
the
protagonists
in
the
movie
who
want
to
earn
name,
fame
and
money
in
the
country
of
riches
and
luxuries.
Well,
the
music
could
have
appealed
to
the
Marathi/Gujarati
belt
audience
who
jive
to
the
beats
of
Viju
Shah
when
he
performs
his
orchestra
in
the
Navratri
festival
but
for
a
Hindi
movie/music
buff,
it
is
hardly
exciting,
especially
in
the
context
of
the
film.
Simply
boring!
Enter
Paresh
Rawal
and
Joi
Barua,
exit
Madhushree
and
Javed
Ali
for
the
second
version
of
'Ek
Baar
Jaana
America'
that
is
a
promotional
number
shot
on
Paresh
Rawal
himself.
Well,
there
is
nothing
flattering
about
Paresh
Rawal's
singing
while
the
video
too
is
hardly
striking!
Appearing
to
be
nothing
more
than
a
gimmick,
it
doesn't
really
add
on
much
to
the
album
inspite
of
the
tune
being
heard
twice
in
the
album.
Seductive
sound
of
a
saxophone
raises
one's
hopes
to
come
across
a
romantic
outing.
That
indeed
holds
true
in
the
instrumental
'Dance
Music'
that
has
a
Spanish
feel
to
it
and
boasts
of
class.
With
the
pace
swinging
between
low
to
high
to
mid-range
alternatively,
this
short-n-sweet
musical
outing
ensures
that
it
gives
exactly
what
the
situation
demanded.
To
compensate
for
lack
of
numerous
songs
in
the
film,
the
album
is
filled
with
other
tracks
like
Pyar
Hai
[Sowmya
Raoh],
Tu
[Mumbai
Matinee],
Odhni
Odhae
[DJ
SUKETU
Remix],
Yaadon
Mein
[Paisa
Vasool]
and
Man
Ke
Darpan
Mein
[Om]
but
sadly
one
has
just
lost
interest
in
the
film's
music
by
this
time.
In
the
name
of
a
soundtrack,
there
are
just
two
songs
in
the
album
[along
with
an
added
version
and
a
dance
instrument],
which
makes
it
one
of
the
most
light
weight
Bollywood
albums
ever.
Even
these
two
tracks
are
nothing
great
shakes
hence
making
YHTKH
one
of
the
most
disappointing
albums
of
2006.
