Review - Jail

[User Rating : 5/5]

Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion had a top-notch soundtrack. But given that Jail is not as glamourous as the former, Madhur has gone in for a more conventional sound.
Jail opens with the guitar heavy Saiyan Ve. It's a true blue Sufi Rock number by the Raaz-The Mystery Continues composers Toshi/Sharib. In its lyrics, playback and sound design, Sainyan Ve follows the style of a Pakistani band. Even though there is nothing really new in this song, Toshi's voice gives it the extra edge. Coupled with a catchy hook, Saiyan Ve is a good listen while it lasts.
The same flavour spills over to Milke Yun Laga. Composed once again on the lines of Sufi Rock, Milke Yun Laga has a melodious tune. Which is why you don't mind pressing the rewind button. Toshi/Sharib give a sound start to Jail.
For the next two tracks, Madhur Bhandarkar ropes in his Page 3 discovery, Shamir Tandon.Bareily Ke Bazaar comes across as an item number. It is a complete departure from the two opening tracks. But despite all attempts to dish out a spirited composition it ends up like a poor cousin of Shilpa Shetty's Up Bihar Lootne... Maybe some sizzling picturisation could enhance the appeal of this song.
Next comes a big surprise. In the wake of her 80th birthday, Shamir Tandon unveils a Lata Mangeshkar number. Extremely situational track, this semi-devotional number works simply because of Lata Mangeshkar's divine voice. She truly stirs up an emotion in a way only she can. The impact of Daata Sun Lo will depend a lot on its placement in the film. It's nowhere close to the classic, Ae Maalik Tere Bande Hum, but still a cut above the mediocre.
The album closes with four remixes, which are more or less similar to the originals.
Verdict: Jail is not an album that'll make it your catalogue. But given the grim theme of the film, its soundtrack has some melodious moments.
