EXPECTATIONS
Peppy,
frothy
and
quite
chic
-
this
is
what
one
expects
from
the
music
of
Aisha
which
is
one
of
the
few
chic
flicks
that
are
coming
out
of
Bollywood
now.
Since
youth
is
the
flavour
of
the
season,
one
expects
the
music
of
Aisha
to
be
carrying
urban
sensibilities
that
one
expects
from
the
film
as
well.
Add
to
the
fact
that
the
film
has
an
unusual
combination
of
composer
Amit
Trivedi
and
lyricist
Javed
Akhtar
and
you
know
for
sure
that
there
is
something
really
exciting
round
the
corner.
MUSIC
The
moment
you
hear
the
title
song
of
Aisha,
you
know
that
the
album
is
going
to
have
a
really
interesting
and
engaging
journey
from
this
point
on.
An
upmarket
number
with
urban
groove
written
all
over
it,
'Aisha'
is
on
the
same
lines
as
'Kabhi
Kabhi
Aditi'
[Jaane
tu
Ya
Jaane
Naa]
as
far
as
the
setting
is
concerned.
A
beautiful
number
which
has
Amit
Trivedi
coming
behind
the
mike
as
well
along
with
Nakash
Aziz
and
Ash
King,
'Aisha'
has
chartbuster
written
all
over
it.
More
than
the
fact
that
it
has
an
appeal
to
become
popular
in
days
to
come,
the
very
factor
that
goes
in
its
favour
is
it's
loveable
appeal.
This
one
can't
be
missed
and
is
a
win
up
the
sleeves
for
Amit
Trivedi.
Well,
if
one
would
have
thought
that
Aisha
will
settle
down
after
a
rocking
opening
number
then
that
is
not
quite
the
case.
That's
because
Amit
Trivedi
comes
up
with
an
instant
chartbuster
which
is
all
set
to
be
highly
popular,
especially
in
North
India.
'Gal
Mitthi
Mitthi'
is
a
new
age
Punjabi
track
and
despite
the
folk
flavour
embedded
into
it,
this
Tochi
Raina
sung
track
is
such
a
foot
tapping
track
that
it
is
tough
not
to
fall
in
love
with
it
in
the
very
first
listening.
Rest
assured,
this
one
would
have
been
an
instant
pick
by
the
makers
of
Aisha
once
Trivedi
would
have
played
this
one
up.
A
'dhol
mix'
version
which
follows
next
is
just
what
the
producer
would
have
ordered
her
and
it
only
adds
more
fun
to
the
album.
There
is
a
strong
innocence
factor
in
Trivedi's
music
as
evidenced
in
his
earlier
soundtracks
and
the
same
can
be
evidenced
in
'Sham'
as
well.
Just
the
kind
of
track
you
want
to
sing
with
a
bunch
of
friends
around
a
bonfire,
'Sham'
is
third
straight
terrific
number
in
a
row
which
has
the
potential
to
become
hugely
popular
if
the
film
does
well
at
the
box
office.
While
Trivedi
leads
the
show
behind
the
mike
once
again,
he
has
Neuman
Pinto
and
Nikhil
D'Souza
for
company
who
make
sure
that
the
youth
factor
stays
on
to
be
consistent
right
through
the
album.
There
is
some
fun
soon
after
with
a
50s
style
'Behke
Behke'
that
has
Anushka
Manchanda
leading
from
the
front
with
support
from
Raman
Mahadevan
and
Samrat
Kaushal.
Anushka
is
one
girl
who
has
seldom
disappointed
in
any
of
her
outings
so
far
and
'Behke
Behke'
proves
that
given
the
right
setting
and
platform,
her
unique
voice
can
do
wonders.
With
a
celebration
feel
to
it
with
an
air
of
seduction
all
around,
'Behke
Behke'
has
a
good
tempo
to
it
and
should
look
good
on
screen.
Anusha
Mani,
in
her
limited
Bollywood
engagements
so
far,
has
always
made
a
mark.
Whether
it
is
'Dil
Mein
Jaagi'
[Dev
D]
or
'Lazy
Lamhe'
[Thoda
Pyaar
Thoda
Magic],
her
voice
has
been
noticed
for
it's
uniqueness.
Same
is
the
case
with
'Lehrein'
as
well
which
is
truly
an
Anusha
show
all
the
way.
Even
though
the
song
(with
supporting
vocals
from
Neuman
Pinto
and
Nikhil
D'Souza)
is
pensive
and
slow
moving,
it's
the
melody
which
helps
'Lehren'
stand
out.
A
track
about
happiness
keeping
some
distance
away
and
things
not
quite
gone
the
way
they
were
expected,
this
new
age
love
song
with
a
sad
theme
to
it
is
extremely
easy
on
ears
and
deserves
a
repeat
hearing
for
itself.
Surprisingly
there
is
also
a
'remix
version'
of
the
song
but
thankfully,
it
neither
deviates
the
song
from
it's
theme
nor
does
it
see
an
overdose
of
added
beats
or
other
arrangements
that
would
have
otherwise
killed
an
excellent
impact
that
'Lehrein'
had
created.
Aisha
ends
on
a
peppy
note
though
with
Anushka
Manchanda
taking
centre-stage
all
over
again.
Now
this
is
what
one
terms
as
a
killer
track
because
there
is
so
much
fun,
celebration
and
girlie
factor
that
comes
together
in
'By
The
Way'
that
it
is
difficult
not
to
jive
to
the
beats
here.
High
on
pace,
spirit,
attitude
and
rendition,
'By
The
Way'
(with
support
from
Neuman
Pinto)
is
the
kind
of
number
that
one
would
love
to
listen
to
in
a
campus
rock
outing
or
a
drive
down
the
highway.
Bring
it
on!
OVERALL
Aisha
springs
a
pleasant
surprise.
Of
course
one
did
expect
a
good
score
here
but
what
one
gets
to
hear
is
complete
album
that
is
new
age,
different
and
yet
so
appealing
to
youth.
There
is
not
a
single
song
which
doesn't
work
and
each
one
tries
to
better
the
other.
Ever
since
the
release
of
music
of
Dev
D,
one
wondered
if
composer
Amit
Trivedi
would
ever
manage
to
come
up
with
a
wholesome
album
like
that.
He
did
compose
for
a
few
films
in
between
and
some
of
his
work
did
impress.
However,
Aisha
will
clearly
stand
out
as
his
best
score
since
Dev
D.
Go
for
it
and
play
it
on
with
friends!
OUR
PICK(S)
Suno
Aisha,
Gal
Mitthi
Mitthi,
By
The
Way,
Lehrein.
