Avoid life. It kills you in the end !! Have you ever
heard of this before. Well Anurag Kashyap, the
director of Paanch and the scriptwriter of Satya and
tele serial Darr says so in Tutu Sharma's Paanch.
Stuck in the censors for some time due to excessive
violence and some crude language, Paanch is finally
ready for a release after a long battle fought by the
team of Paanch and the censors. Paanch is a story of a
struggling rock band in Mumbai comprising of 'paanch'
people - one girl and four guys. The girl is played by
Tejaswini Kolhapure, younger sis of Padmini Kolhapure
and Kay Kay is one of the four guys. In fact Kay Kay
played the role of a cop in the pyscho drama Darr and
here he gets to play the lead role in Paanch.
Entire score of Paanch has a rock and pop feeling,
mainly because that forms the background of the movie.
Vishal Bhardwaj delivers something different once
again (as he has been doing so since Maachis) and
Abbas Tyrewala writes.
'Main Khuda' is the best track of Paanch which talks
of oneself being the best of all and commanding people
to bow their heads !!! A pacy number, it conveys the
psyche of the protagonist and is a very dark number.
The male version is sung by K.K. and the female
version is sung by Sunidhi Chauhan in the manner in
which only she can sing - in a very high pitch tone.
The former has arrangement by K J Singh and catches
attention in one listening.
Domnique sings a very impressive 'Ye Kaisa Hai Shaher'
which by every angle looks like a pop number. Watch
the song and you will know why !!! 'Paanch Theme' is
again sung by her and is good too. But 'Paka Mat' is
something that one may not enjoy while hearing.
Something on the lines of Kallu Mama form Satya, it is
again more of a conversation between the lead plays of
the movie rather than sing-a-song. Hariharan - Vishal
Bhardwaj's favourite and K.K. sing this number that is
purely situational.
'Akhiyan Chipki' by Sultan Khan is set in the same
style as 'Piya Basanti Re' whereas Tamas by Deva Sen
Gupta gets philosophical. Former number gets on your
lips after a few hearings but 'Tamas' fails to impress
much mainly due to it being a dull composition. In
fact one doesn't even remember its tone once it's
over.
Asha ji strikes again with 'Jism Hai' which is a
sensual number sung in her inimitable style. A poppish
number, it makes an instant impact and impresses a
lot. Lyrics by Abbas deserve a special mention - not
only for this song but for most of the numbers in the
album.
Overall, score of Paanch is again one of those 'middle
of the road' kinds that have a select audience who
have a taste different than those endless candy floss
stuff churned day after day.
