Patiala House – Music Review

Patiala House, just like the first look trailer of the movie the music also looks pretty boring. Shankar Ehsaan Loy is back but sorry to say not with a bang. Their previous album “We are Family” was also average. With A.R. Rehman out of their way as he is working on international assignments they should be India’s number 1 music composers but sadly their attempts are pretty mediocre. Amit Trivedi is ruling the roost currently. Coming back to the album  Laungda Lashkara is a Punjabi number with Jassi and Hard Kaur but the output is really soft core, can be listened though. Kyun Main Jagoon is nicely sung by Shafqat Amant Ali (Fuzon and Mitwa from KANK fame) but still not soulful enough to touch you. By the time you hear Rola Pe Gaya, you feel how can anyone have Hard Kaur in any song doing just ‘Yo Man’ kinda stuff. ‘Aadat Hai Voh’ and ‘Baby When You Talk To Me’ are also forgettable tracks. ‘Tumba Tumba’ in Hans Raaj Hans voice is decent enough but won’t be placed in your MP3 devices as well. ‘Aval Allah’ has Richa Sharma rendering her voice again for SEL like in My Name Is Khan’s Sajda but a small ibaadat style track.

With not a single track having Sonu Nigam, Shaan, KK, Shreya Ghoshal or Sunidhi the output could have been easily predicted. Even Shankar sang a small portion in just one song. I am now a really disappointed Shankar Ehsaan Loy supporter.

Rating: 2/5
