Yet another Khan arrives in the Hindi film industry as
a hero. Yeah, we are talking about Sohail Khan who makes
his debut as a hero with Maine Dil Tujhko Diya. Kid
brother of Salman and Arbaaz Khan also directs his own
launch vehicle and if we go by the law of averages
then MDTD should set the cash counters ringing. This
is because he has given alternate hits and flops with
his earlier directorial ventures. While Auzaar didn't
make much impact on box office, Pyaar Kiya To Darna
Kya was a major Hit. Then came the comic ghostly story
- Hello Brother, which was a washout. So what say
Sohail this time? Sameera Reddy too makes her debut
as a female lead and Munna bhai a.k.a Sanjay Dutt
makes an special appearance. A G.S film, MDTD is
presented by his own khandaan - Salim, Salman and
Arbaaz Khan. A band of lyricists - Faiaz Anwar,
Jalees Rashid, Salim Bijnori, Praveen Bhardwaj and
'shakuni mama' - oops - Gufi Paintal write. Music is
by Dabbo Malik who gets a major break as a solo
composer for a biggie.
Three numbers stand out of the total nine in MDTD -
Thoda Sa Pyaar Hua Hai, the title number and Sona
Sona. Thoda Sa Pyaar Hua Hai is a beautifully composed
melody by Daboo Malik, especially check out the
'antara' part. Lyrics by Faaiz Anwar are sweet and
simple and get on your lips soon. The sad version of
the same, which has lyrics by Praveen Bhardwaj and has
been sung by Sonu Nigam is good as well. In this
particular number, Sohail borrows the outfits from the
ones wore by bada bhai Salman in Har Dil Jo Pyaar
Karega and looks equally handsome. Sameera too looks
extremely gorgeous and has the similar dusky
appearance as Bipasha Basu, though at places she also
reminds of Papa Kehte Hai girl - Mayuri Kango.
The title song is a fast number that should gel well
with the hep audience. A number penned by Jalees
Rashid and sung by Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan.
Sona Sona is another fast number that makes an instant
impression. Titled Rhythm Of Love, it is sung by Sonu
Nigam and Alka Yagnik and Gufi Paintal writes. Both
are racy tracks and good choreography will better
their prospects.
'Shanana Na' seems to be a campus number and is not
much different from the earlier teeny-hoppy numbers
composed earlier. A horde of singers Abhijeet, Alka
Yagnik, Jordy, Ayub, Srijit and Daboo Malik sing this
song written by Salim Bijnori. An average number that
may seem better on screen. Dil Churane Lagi penned by
Praveen Bhardwaj is a soft track by Sonu Nigam and
Anuradha Paudwal and is just OK. Nothing great shakes
but not a downer also.
The theme song 'Ik Deewana' by Daboo Malik, Nayan,
Pankaj and Jordy is a situational number that has the
story being told in the lyrical form. Nothing-special
composition wise, it may not make much of an impact on
the listeners. 'Aaja Ve Saajan' by Alka Yagnik and
Sunidhi Chauhan is another situational number that
fails to rise above average. A song that can be given
a convenient skip. The album ends on a somewhat
satisfactory note with Kuchh Bhi Nahin Kuchh Nahin.
Udit Narayan sounds as he did in 'Hum Pyaar Karne
Waale' in 'Dil' and it is good to hear him in his
youthful ever. Alka Yagnik joins him in this melodious
number that has lyrics by Salim Bijnori.
Don't expect another Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya score
from Maine Dil Tujhko Diya. MDTD is just an average
album that has 2-3 good/above average numbers.
