Though it is Shravan Rathod`s boys who get full credit on the cassette jacket, half the songs have been written and tuned by Raikwar. He has been doing a lot of that from behind the scenes. Now Raikwar can take a bow-wow.
Life, according to these self-employed stylists, is about nothing more than line-maaroing, aish-karoing and masti-lootoing. The rap-trap in Style mein rehne ka (reminiscent of Anu Malik`s Mobile number) and the brazen eveteasing of Raikwar`s self-rendered Excuse me (a visibly disembodied takeoff on Raikwar`s Khandala track), where the lady threatens the adamant eveteaser with the law, a husband and finally brotherhood, are so downmarket, you fear what damage these numbers can do if they fall into the wrong hands
The entire album, with its unrelenting stress on girl-baiting through tapori methods sounds like Anu Malik on one of his bad days. Listen to Abhijeet and KK`s Yeh hai style (where Abhijeet confidently croons, Cool cool bay-beee lit-it be coooool) and KK and Hema Sardesai`s Miss dil and Mr dil, they sound so Anu-centric you want to forgive Anu for all his exuberant excesses in David Dhawan`s cinema.
Young at heart? This is jejune at the nervecentre! And to think N Chandra once got Laxmikant-Pyarelal to do the pathbreaking Ek do teen in Tezaab and Kuldeep Singh to compose the all-time bhajan Itni shakti humein dena daata in Ankush.
