Partner's music is fun while it lasts

Can't find a date? Having girl trouble? Serious love issues?
Salman Khan [ Images ] has the solution to all your heartache. At least that's what David Dhawan's [ Images ] new film, Partner, presses us to believe.
The romantic comedy also features Dhawan's longtime favourite Govinda [ Images ] playing the love guru's lovelorn disciple.
Meanwhile, Lara Dutta [ Images ] and Katrina Kaif [ Images ] play the object of their respective affections.
Sounds a lot like Will Smith's [ Images ] hit flick, Hitch, don't it? The music by Sajid-Wajid, however, isn't anything like the Men in Black star's 'jiggy' shakes.
The soundtrack kickstarts with the rhythmic Do you wanna partner. A whole bunch of vocal artists --Wajid, Shaan [ Images ], Shaan, Udit Narayan, Suzi Q and Clington do their bit in this bizarre cocktail of Mambo meets qawaali. Its flamboyant premise aims to highlight Salman and Govinda's easygoing camaraderie and is more visual than sound.
If the following succeeds in catching your fancy, then you might be game for its pumped up remix of the same as well.
What happens when hip hop marries Hindi film music? A techno-savvy, zippy ditty --You're in love -- is born. The song wears a breezy and perky appearance courtesy the animated beats and vivacious performances from Shaan and Shweta Pandit. You're my love has a racy remixed version too. We still prefer the original, thank you.
Dupatta tera nau rang da, a fast-paced Punjabi pop mix with its east-meets-west tenacity, is reminiscent of Just Chill (Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya) in texture and resonance. A harmless dance track, Dupatta may not exactly elevate your senses but doesn't jar them either.
Brace yourself for another Punjabi punch with an electronic twist and retro appeal in Soni de nakhre. A seriously enjoyable number, crooned effectively by Labh Janjuwa -- the man who earlier dished the catchy Tauba mein pyaar karke pachtaya in Pyaar Ke Side Effects).
Sonu Nigam [ Images ] tries to do a Ricky Martin [ Images ] with Maria Maria, an incredibly insipid tribute to the Latino sensation's chartbuster of the same name. Maria's cackling chorus and screeching arrangement makes for one noisy hearing that is best left skipped.
Entertaining in parts and average in others, the music of Partner is like a run-of-the-mill party: fun while it lasts, forgotten when over.
