Lyrics: Sameer
Music: Jatin- Lalit Going by the title of the film, one expects it’s music to ooze romance. But it is not so. Jatin and Lalit have given a very North Indian flavour to their music without falling into the trap of Indipop songs and digitally-generated sounds. For a change, Sameer has also tried to infuse some meaning into his words. The album has 11 track songs. The title song, ‘Dhai Akshar Prem Ke’, rendered by Anuradha Paudwal and Babul Supriyo is the most impressive of the lot. The album has three sad versions of this song. Anuradha Paudwal sounds quite unemotional in ‘Do Lafzon Mein’ which lyricist Bhairov Arun has written quite impressively . Then there is this racy number called ‘Koi Tyaza Hawa’ in which Babul Supriyo has put in his best to bring some vigor and spirit to his vocals however, with little success. ‘O Mere Rabba’ is slow in tempo and has Anuradha Paudwal paired up with Kay Kay. The other side of the coin opens with folksy and foot tapping ‘Mera Mahi Badi Sona Hai’ beautifully rendered by Anuradha Paudwal. The song has Small B giving his vocal chords a try. The song ‘Ek Haseen Ladki’ is a mixture of evergreen oldies like ‘Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhagi Si’ and ‘Leke Pehla Pehla Pyar’. Babul Supriyo tries to imitate Kishore Kumar while Sudhesh Bhosle sounds his usual self.
‘Yeh Sama Ye Nazare’ is melodious and has good lyrics. The album concludes with a racy score ‘Hai Deewana Yeh Ishq Mera’ in which Paudwal’s voice is sort of overshadowed by too much orchestration. Music directors Jatin-Lalit have retained simplicity in their music and have kept themselves untouched by Western scores. Anuradha Paudwal and Babul Supriyo dominate the album.
Overall, Dhai Akshar’s music score is different but unimpressive.
