When you have the 'hot' Akshay Kumar and 'cool' John Abraham in your movie, what else can you call it except Garam Masala?
Priyadarshan does just that!
Brace yourself for a true blue comedy! What's more it's got the inimitable Paresh Rawal as well. While the men in biceps do a non-animated Tom and Jerry on screen, Garam Masala introduces three new girls -- Neetu Chandran, Nargis and Daisy. The comedy also features Rimii Sen.
Will this be another Hera Pheri? No, that's what we are hoping sequel Phir Hera Pheri will be. Okay, so even another Hungama or Hulchul will do! Let us keep our fingers crossed for November 3, the day Garam Masala releases.
Meanwhile, here's our take on the music.
After Dhoom and Chocolate, composer Pritam's penchant for the upbeat is evident in this soundtrack as well.
The album kicks off on a rhythmic note with Ada. Sonu Nigam stylish drone matches generous doses of vivacious flute and cool percussion making Ada a smash hit. Even as some portions are suspiciously reminiscent of Dhoom's Shikdum, the track is infectiously catchy and refuses to lie low. Ditto for the remix. There is nothing drastically different about DJ Suketu's version, except it moves faster.
A dash of urban beats layered around a mass of Punjabi lyrics -- that's a fancy bhangra for you! Hema Sardesai and Sukhwinder Singh's lively rendition of the foot-tapping Chori chori promise to keep those feet glued to the dance floor. If this was good, here's better. The second version by Labh Jajua aka Punjabi MC exhilarates the mood further -- it's more fun, more enthusiastic, more rocking!
The signature theme of Garam Masala plays mirthfully through the animated medium of Adnan Sami's voice. The singer playfully pursues, flatters and sends flying muaahs in this high-on-masti ditty.
Falak dekhun by Sonu Nigam begins trendily only to sag into an excessively mushy number. The problem is that Pritam's chic arrangement isn't compatible with the overtly poetic sentiment of the lyrics. The song fares better when Udit Narayan gives it the traditional treatment is truly deserves.
Set on a spectacular stage, K K and Sunidhi Chauhan's high-pitched intensity in Dil samundar has a throbbing effect.
So if you care for some spicy music, look no further. Garam Masala is your pick!
