Deepika, Chitragandha, Akshay & John at Desi Boyz Music Launch

Desi Boyz Music Review

After delivering a brilliant album with Mausam and proving his detractors wrong, Pritam is back with the soundtrack to Desi Boyz, an out and out commercial entertainer. David Dhawan’s son Rohit makes his directorial debut with Akshay Kumar and John Abraham reuniting to play male strippers! Promising not to be as bawdy as his dad’s films, Rohit Dhawan definitely has everything going in his favour with a great cast and naughty storyline. Pritam has scored some fabulous music to Akshay Kumar films from Singh is Kinng to Action Replayy but after the lacklustre and noisy soundtrack to Thank You expectations are high for this biggie. The music for the film immediately hooks the listener in but can Pritam really stay away from going overboard and throwing in the kitchen sink too?

The album starts with a bang with, Make Some Noise For The Desi Boyz, which has some immediate appeal with its pulsating drums and Bob’s forceful intro. The song almost sounds like it would be a hip-hop track but once the potent electric guitar riffs come on, it truly impresses alongside all the sound effects that are typical Pritam. It is a runaway hit, especially with KK varying up his voice and having a lot of fun on this track and adds a Punjabi flavour that beats Neeraj Shridhar who would be the usual fit for a song like this. The bridge is excellent with a funky guitar riff that gives that song an extra kick, which completely works. A must listen! As usual, the song has a remix, which instead enhances the club feel with an unnecessary rap verse, and it dulls the enthusiasm and fun of the original song and overdoes the Euro-pop sound.

The album continues to hit a good stride with, Subha Hone
