Ram Gopal Varma’s (RGV) music doesn’t always get the cash registers ringing,yet his thriller background scores always make a mark. With his next film “Go”, this, too, fails to happen. Let’s see how.

Sneha Kanwalkar composes and croons “Dhan tan tan” along with Kunal Ganjawala, a song which is completely musical, not in the sense that it is high on melody but in the sense that the arrangements in the track are just too many. Agreed that using a lot of instruments make a track turn out pretty good at times, but not here where they get all muddled up.

The title track, “Go”, tends to be quite a downer as it doesn’t have the zing necessary for a title song. Composed by Sneha and penned by Nakul M,”Go” has Kunal crooning to it but with Suzanne and Meenal Jain this time.

The title track is a bummer.

“Kaash” comes in next and has some shades of being composed under the RGV banner. The arrangements are thankfully milder here giving the audience some space to listen.

Rendered by Sunidhi Chauhan and Vinod Rathod, “Oooh” is up next. It aims at being seductive, passionate and sensual, and “Oooh” does that but only in the way such songs usually turn out in Ram Gopal Varma’s flicks. Milind’s lyrics can go take a hike but then what poetic words can one really expect from such a track?

Next is “So cool”. It is a song that wouldn’t go down well with the crowd either, as it just doesn’t hold interest.

Not one track in the album makes for repeat listening.

The new talents that one gets to hear in this soundtrack needed to make their break elsewhere, not in a RGV film where instruments talk louder than vocals. Anyone who manages to get by even the first few tracks of the album will give “Go” a thumbs down.

A terribly delayed film, “Jahan Jaaeyega Hamen Paaeyega” (JJHP) stars Govinda, Divya Dwivedi and Shivani Shivananda.

As far as the music is concerned, JJHP is of the kind that would fade away without anyone realising the same. It has little chance of making it to any music charts.

Greeting one with an irritating tune is “Banda yeh jaanbaz hai”, a track composed by Dev Kohli and rendered by Aadesh Srivastav. With lyrics and music that are extremely passé, the song bugs you from the very start and is of the kind that even Himesh Reshammiya fans would hate. “Banda yeh jaanbaz hai” is a complete failure.

Next song, “Deewana main deewana”, sounds like a track from god-knows-which-era. Sneha Pant is shrill to the core and Aadesh’s rendition, too, falls flat.

A Rajasthani-style track comes in the form of “Naa choona” where better singers Udit Narayan and Sunidhi Chauhan take care of the vocals. Not any great either, the track is little better than the previous two - and is passable too as an individual track.

“Saala gaya kaam se” takes the cake for the worst of the lot. With lyrics penned by director Janmendra Ahuja and sung by Aadesh again, it makes you cringe. Can’t dare to hear it even once.

One wonders why the makers of the film ever thought of releasing the soundtrack of an already delayed film.

After completely racking your brains, the only positive point that can be noticed is that, thankfully, the album consists of only four songs. “Jahaan Jaaeyega Hamen Paaeyega” is not recommended at all.

“Chak De India”, a much-awaited Yash Raj Film starring Shah Rukh Khan, is set to hit the screens but the music isn’t really making waves. Composer duo Salim-Suleiman have not done anything extraordinary or exciting.

A pretty good track to start the album with is “Bad bad girls” and singer Anushka Manchandani has done a neat job. Revolving around hockey, “Bad bad girls”, penned by Jaideep Sahni, can’t be called a fantastic track, but it’s a good attempt at keeping the zest of the hockey team intact.

Hema Sardesi lends her voice to “Badal pe paon hai”. It can’t be termed feminist, but the track is inspirational and is high on rhythm.

Sukhwinder sings the title song “Chak de India”. He delivers well but the song would sound much better while watching the movie. The lyrics are fine but the song lacks punch.

“Ek hockey doongi rakh ke”, a number that introduces the team members, could have been composed better. Shah Rukh takes over the job of introducing each player, while they too voice a few lines. And in the end, K.K. comes and croons the “Chak de” line.

A depressingly slow track comes in the form of “Maula mere le le meri jaan”. Probably a number that comes at a very crucial point in the film, it sees the pairing of Salim Merchant and Krishna for the vocals. With minor qawalli elements in it, the song puts one off completely as there’s absolutely nothing that attracts you.

The last track, “Sattar minute”, is hardly a number in the sense of a musical piece. It sees King Khan motivating his team members and almost rendering encouraging mini speeches. But it still seems better in comparison to the entire lot.

Salim-Suleiman have failed to put the theme across in a catchier and appealing way. Putting better quality of music would surely have done wonders to the album.
