Someone obviously got their signals crossed when planning the music for Praan Jaye Par Shaan Na Jaye. Nothing equates with the horribly insipid tunes. "Chali Humko" is barely two minutes in length. Sung by Vinod Rathod, Nitin Raikwar and the sole female singer on the soundtrack Tulsi Maidasani, one wonders why it is even that long. Pointless concoction of a mixture of boring sounds presenting useless lyrics effortlessly.
"Aye Aye Ya" and "Loan De" have titles enough to distract the listener. And in each, Vinod Rathod is horribly inaudible. Music composer Daboo Malik again walks the path of brother Anu and like brother couldn´t sing if his life depends on it. His music for "Aye Aye Ya" is simply bad as are the lyrics by Praveen Bhardwaj. The same and worst can be said for Nitin Raikwar who has written and composed "Loan De". I
In the midst of these horrible tunes a title like "Hum Tere Sanam" actually has us hoping it is a love song, possibly even listenable at that. Noting that Vinod Rathod sings it already tells us we should forget about, and you should. Perhaps it is because Nitin Raikwar has composed the music, and written the lyrics again. Unfortunately he doesn´t quit while he´s ahead in this soundtrack. The next, "Lagi Ye Lagi To" is depressing. The mood of the song is quite sad, but you´ll feel worst if you continue to endure Vinod Rathod and Nayub Ali´s poor vocalizations in the song.
Sonu Nigam is the only household name on the album, again providing some hope for decent music. Again, a hope lost. Sonu Nigam in "Shaadi Ki Pehli Baat" has again been drawn down to the low life of singing boring hero songs referring to a man´s wedding dreams, etc. Not that is a poor thing, it´s just one thing when you´re asked to do so with inane lyrics by Praveen Bhardwaj and music by Daboo Malik which doesn´t try to emote feelings but bore you with them.
At some points the music for the songs, especially by Nitin Raikwar sound local. It´s as if your neighborhood band has composed it. Given that the film has to do with a forty nine family village of wide variety trying to keep their chawls, perhaps that was the feel they intended. What they forgot was to actually make the music likeable or listenable. Maybe music doesn´t play a major role in the film (one hopes), but maybe they shouldn´t have had these horrible songs made as well. A word, though the soundtrack cover is laced with the beauty of its female leads, it is the only good thing about the soundtrack.
