Garam Masala

Garam Masala

When Akshay Kumar, John Abraham and Paresh Rawal come together in a high voltage comedy, it should have been aptly titled 'Mirchi'. But then the makers chose to give it an alternate name and here we have 'Garam Masala' joining the season of comedies that are all working in a big way. With Priyadarshan at the helm who has behind him a hat trick of successes with Paresh Rawal [Hera Pheri, Hungama, Hulchul] aided by three gorgeous women making their debut [Daisy, Neetu, Nargis] and Rimmi Sen as a part of the starcast, GM promises to be a fun ride all the way this 'Diwali'. Remake of Priyan's own Malayalam hit 'Boeing Boeing', GM has music by Preetam and lyrics by Sameer.

Album begins on a superb note with a rollicking track 'Ada' that has Sonu Nigam at his youthful best. There is a distinct 'chanak' in this full of life 'running behind the girls' genre of songs that works due to a racy rhythm, some funky musical arrangements, a signature tune and catchy lyrics. Inclusion of a bit of rap within the song only enhances the effect of this visually appealing track that is HIT from the word GO. Add to that the hunks Akshay Kumar and John and there is no doubt left about the song turning out to be a chartbuster. Seemingly an 'introduction' song of the male leads, 'Ada' also appears in a remix version by DJ Suketu and continues the feel of rock and roll. A winner!

Yet another track that begins on a funky note is 'Falak Dekhun', a rhythmic love song by Sonu Nigam that is written by Mayur Puri, a regular with Pritam. A likeable number, it is well sung by Sonu Nigam who seems to be thoroughly enjoying his stint behind the camera in this track. This is yet another track that is expected to be picturized beautifully. It won't top the charts but would be liked nevertheless. There is one more version of 'Falak Dekhun' that could be termed as a ’de-mixed' version of the original due a mellowed down approach with Udit Narayan coming behind the mike this time around.

SN sings a song in Hersh Kohli's Kaun Ho Sakta hai as well...supposed to be good (obviously, it's SN!) but yeah...can't wait to hear that as well...
