Now
this
one
may
turn
out
to
be
a
laugh-riot.
And
looking
at
the
likes
of
Mallika
Sherawat,
Rahul
Bose,
Kay
Kay
Menon
and
Paresh
Rawal
coming
together
on
a
common
platform
for
a
fun
ride,
Maan
Gaye
Mughall
E
Azam
promises
a
whacky
soundtrack.
However,
there
are
slight
apprehensions
too.
Anu
Malik
has
been
inconsistent
in
his
new
innings
and
while
Ugly
Aur
Pagli
has
been
doing
well
with
Love
Story
2050
doing
OK,
there
have
also
been
duds
like
Good
Luck
and
Hastey
Hastey.
After
listening
to
the
soundtrack
of
MGMEA,
one
can
conveniently
add
one
more
to
the
list.
Classic
track
Pyaar
Kiya
To
Darna
Kya
from
Mughal
E
Azam
gets
it's
modern
day
disco
avtar
the
moment
Mallika
Sherawat
comes
to
fore.
What
surprises
is
that
even
though
Ishg
Bector
sings
a
major
part
of
the
song
(he
kick
starts
with
a
rap
and
is
present
throughout
the
5
minute
duration),
he
hasn't
been
credited
in
the
album.
Sounding
like
Bali
Brahmbhatt,
he
makes
way
for
Anushka
Manchanda
and
Mahalakshmi
Iyer
to
give
two
different
flavors
to
the
song.
By
the
time
Shaan
joins
all
the
fun
in
this
item
number
which
is
meant
for
a
stage
performance,
one
realizes
that
'Pyaar
Kiya
To
Darna
Kya'
is
neither
serious
nor
spoofy.
Instead
it
is
plain
fun
with
Sanjay
Chhel's
lyrics
being
largely
responsible
for
keeping
the
entertainment
quotient
well
in
place.
One
looks
forward
to
the
picturisation
of
this
song
which
features
the
entire
principal
star
cast
of
the
film
creating
a
riot
in
one
common
setting!
Marmari
Baahen
is
a
kind
of
quintessential
romantic
number
which
can't
ever
be
hated
by
a
listener.
However,
even
though
the
number
has
a
melodic
base
to
it,
it
doesn't
quite
enthrall
as
such
since
it
follows
the
basic
routine
of
mush
and
romance
while
keeping
it
soft
and
simple.
Moving
at
a
slow
pace
with
some
ear
pleasing
arrangements,
'Marmari
Bahen'
is
a
decent
duet
by
Shaan
and
Mahalakshmi
Iyer
which
doesn't
really
have
in
it
to
go
all
the
distance,
but
stays
on
to
be
an
OK
hearing
overall!
Later,
Blue
Zone
'remixes'
the
song
with
Anu
Malik
himself
choosing
to
come
behind
the
mike.
Well,
the
way
he
goes
about
crooning
the
number,
it
is
assured
that
'Marmari
Bahen'
has
Malik's
trademark
stamp
to
it.
It
is
time
to
expect
something
interesting,
what
with
Pankaj
Udhas
coming
back
to
singing
for
a
Hindi
film
after
ages.
Anu
Malik
ropes
him
in
for
Ek
To
Sharab
Kum
which
appears
in
two
parts.
Well,
it
is
absolute
shocking
to
hear
the
track
because
if
at
all
there
would
be
one
really
forgettable
Pankaj
Udhas
number
for
a
Hindi
film,
it
would
be
this.
The
built
up
takes
a
horrendously
long
time
and
by
the
time
one
expects
some
rhythm
in
the
proceedings,
the
end
result
turns
out
to
be
damp
squib.
There
are
chances
that
'Ek
To
Sharab
Hai'
is
spoofy
in
nature,
but
that
by
any
means
doesn't
turn
out
to
be
a
good
enough
excuse
for
the
song
to
be
so
lifeless.
To
give
Pankaj
Udhas
some
credit,
he
is
decent
in
the
way
he
goes
about
singing
this
'ghazal',
but
it
is
due
to
some
really
boring
arrangements
which
pull
the
track
down
completely.
This
one
clearly
disappoints!
With
a
fine
track
('Pyaar
Kiya
To
Darna
Kya')
followed
by
an
average
number
('Marmari
Bahein')
and
an
absolute
letdown
('Ek
To
Sharab
Hai'),
one
is
quite
apprehensive
before
playing
the
last
song
in
the
album,
Ishqiyaan.
Well,
the
expectations
have
ebbed
to
such
a
low
point
by
now
that
whatever
reasonably
is
fine
turns
out
to
be
some
saving
grace.
This
way
'Ishqiyaan'
succeeds
to
an
extent
as
it
is
not
a
bad
hear,
though
being
stuck
in
the
musical
style
of
90s.
Primarily
a
rhythmic-n-peppy
duet
between
Sonu
Nigam
and
Sunidhi
Chauhan,
'Ishqiyaan'
has
the
potential
to
do
well
on
screen
with
some
funny
picturisation.
Towards
the
end,
Aftab
Hashmi
Sabri
joins
for
a
'qawalli'
outing
while
Blue
Zone
does
chip
in
with
a
remix
version
as
well.
Also,
it
is
exit
Sunidhi
Chauhan
and
enter
Alisha
Chinoy
this
time
around.
Overall,
Maan
Gaye
Mughall-E-Azam
has
a
forgettable
soundtrack
which
won't
make
any
impression
whatsoever
in
either
a
short
or
a
long
term.
The
only
solace
that
the
makers
of
the
film
can
take
is
from
the
fact
that
a
couple
of
tracks
may
well
keep
the
audience
engaged
due
to
the
funny
mood
of
the
film.
However,
even
for
that,
a
lot
would
depend
upon
its
director
Sanjay
Chhel
to
make
it
happen
on
screen.
