EXPECTATIONS
Days
after
Yash
Raj
Films
and
composers
Salim-Sulaiman
came
up
with
the
soundtrack
of
Rocket
Singh
-
Salesman
of
the
Year
arrives
the
music
album
of
Pyaar
Impossible.
In
fact
this
may
well
be
the
first
for
both
the
production
house
as
well
as
the
composer
duo
who
have
seen
some
work
of
theirs
arriving
in
such
quick
succession.
Given
the
fact
that
the
film
is
titled
Pyaar
Impossible,
has
a
glossy
teenage
feel
to
it
and
bears
a
vibrant
look,
one
expects
a
happy
soundtrack
from
the
five
songs,
each
of
which
is
written
by
Anvita
Dutt
Guptan.
MUSIC
Anushka
Manchanda
is
so
effective
in
the
way
she
begins
'Alisha'
that
one
can
almost
sense
Priyanka
Chopra
to
be
behind
the
mike.
There
is
this
husky
feel
about
her
rendition
which
brings
in
a
certain
attitude
to
the
entire
5
minutes
track.
In
fact
Anushka
is
quite
good
in
this
Westernised
track
(later
also
appearing
in
a
'remix
version')
where
she
not
just
changes
the
pitch
a
couple
of
times
but
also
brings
in
a
different
tone
to
her
voice.
Moreover,
Salim
Merchant
too
does
a
good
job
in
coming
behind
the
mike
intermittently
and
brings
on
the
key
words
Pyaar
Impossible.
A
good
situational
track
that
could
well
have
been
a
Vishal-Shekhar
composition.
Soon
after,
Vishal
Dadlani
does
come
into
picture
though
as
he
sings
the
title
song
'Pyaar
Impossible'.
The
track
pretty
much
establishes
the
mood
of
the
album
and
confirms
then
and
there
that
the
film's
narrative
is
designed
as
a
modern
day
Western
romcom
musical.
Dominique
Cerejo
takes
the
lead
in
this
relatively
softer
number
which
has
a
conversational
feel
to
it.
Expect
some
good
picturisation
here
for
this
yet
another
Western
outing
that
is
also
accompanied
by
a
'remix
version'.
The
best
of
the
lot
comes
a
little
later
though
in
the
form
of
'You
And
Me'
which
has
a
Salim-Sulaiman
stamp
all
over
it.
The
kind
of
rhythmic
mushy
track
that
could
have
fitted
into
any
contemporary
urban
love
story,
'You
And
Me'
is
taken
to
a
different
level
mainly
due
to
the
way
it
is
arranged.
Neha
Bhasin
and
Benny
Dayal
come
together
for
this
track,
which
surprisingly
doesn't
appear
in
a
remix
version
even
though
it
really
deserved
so,
and
is
good
enough
to
be
played
in
clubs
and
lounges.
Entertaining.
However,
by
the
time
'10
On
10'
comes,
it
is
firmly
established
that
Pyaar
Impossible
is
a
girlie
album
in
entirety,
especially
in
the
way
Mahua
Kamath
and
Anushka
Manchanda
come
together
to
croon
the
number.
One
is
instantly
reminded
of
the
prom
night
situations
that
are
so
much
in
vogue
in
Hollywood's
teenage
romcom
films/TV
serials.
Remember
the
likes
of
'Hannah
Montana'?
This
one
should
look
and
sound
good
on
screen.
Towards
the
later
stages
of
the
song,
Naresh
Kamath
croons
a
couple
of
lines
but
eventually
'10
on
10'
belongs
to
the
girls.
Finally
comes
'Ek
Thi
Ladki'
which
has
a
story
telling
setting
to
it,
something
which
is
on
the
same
lines
as
Princess
Diaries.
Newcomer
Rishika
Sawant
tells
the
story
of
this
girl
meeting
a
guy
who
falls
heads
over
heels
in
love
with
her.
The
setting
reminds
one
of
Uday
Chopra's
last
romcom
outing
where
the
title
song
'Neil
N
Nikki'
had
a
similar
feel
to
it.
Though
that
song
is
heard
even
till
date
due
to
it's
rhythmic
appeal
and
the
sound
that
stuck
on
for
years,
the
same
can't
be
said
about
'Ek
Thi
Ladki'
which
basically
sticks
to
the
situation
in
the
film
than
boasting
of
an
everlasting
appeal.
OVERALL
Due
to
its
situational
feel,
one
can't
be
expecting
mega
popularity
for
the
album
here.
However,
if
one
understands
the
intent
of
the
album,
the
songs
have
been
pretty
much
made
to
facilitate
the
album's
narrative
rather
than
being
chartbusters
that
would
get
audiences
in
theaters.
In
this
aspect,
Salim-Sulaiman
create
a
good
situational
album
that
may
well
drive
the
narrative
rather
than
just
fitting
into
it.
