7 Khoon Maaf - Music Review

‘7 Khoon Maaf’ an interesting title again from Vishal Bharadwaaj featuring as usual his own music compositions. Vishal’s music and Gulzar’s lyrics have now become like a Jodi. The trailor with the Darling track immediately excites you for both the movie and music. Darling is a nice track featuring voice of this year Padma Sri Award winner Usha Uthup. Thank god next time we see her on small screen we won’t be hearing just ‘Ramba ho ho ho’ from her. Rekha Bharadwaaj sings in duet with Usha Uthup for this. Bekaraan has a fresh water like feel with multi-talented Vishal himself lending his own voice. O’ Mama is a desi rock song with K.K.’s voice and a track that will probably grow on you during the movie experience. Dil Dil Hai is another rockfish song by ‘Give me Sunshine‘ fame Suraj Jagan but this track will be liked by those who love rock music. Awaara with interesting Gulzar lyrics is in a Sufi touch by an unknown Punjabi singer Master Saleem. Suresh Wadekar a regular feature in Vishal’s album as well like ‘Raat ke Dhai baje’ from Kaminey has sung the soulful ‘Tere Liye’. Finally a solo track as always from his wife Rekha Bharadwaaj ‘Yesu’ but it’s a boring crying type track which you won’t want in your mp3 devices.

The album looks complete with all types of tracks whether soulful, romantic, rock or peppy but it doesn’t have stand out outstanding tracks like Kaminey or Ishqiya. This album will be listened and forgotten in short span and is not a long lasting one.
