The promos of director Rohit Shetty's 'All The Best' are on air currently and have been there for a while. One look at its stylish and vibrant promos, and one knows what to expect from the movie and its music. It promises to be loads of fun like Shetty's earlier movies the 'Golmaal' series. The mantle for composing the music goes to the right person, Pritam, who combines very well with lyricist Kumaar, to bring out the fun quotient of the film. The music of 'All The Best' is peppy and its album consists of five original tracks and two remixes. Pritam seems to be in an upbeat, breezy mood and he has reason enough for that. His recent assignments for 'New York', 'Love Aaj Kal' and 'Dil Bole Hadippa' seem to have done well. He definitely hopes to score well with this one too.
The album opens with the number 'Dil Kare' which has been sung by Suraj Jagan and Roopam Islam. Suraj is a prefect choice for this song which is an out and out, authentic rock number and is characterised by some roaring vocals and heavy drum beats. The effect is further enhanced by the refrain of 'All The Best' which forms part of the background. Suraj begins the proceedings with a blast and is joined by Roopam, who provides the backup vocals. Both singers manage to take the song to a euphoric level and it ends on a high. The number comes in a remixed version as well, with DJ A Myth doing the honours.
The second track of the album is 'Haan Main Jitni Martaba' which has been sung by KK and Yashita. KK combines very well with newcomer Yashita to deliver a smashing number, which sees a mix of hard rock and yuppie romance. KK is in full form and gives this song that chartbuster quality. It is an extremely catchy number, which has an immensely likeable feel to it. DJ A Myth comes in for the remix version which has the same punch and feel to it.
The title track, 'All The Best' appears next in album. The number has been sung by Rana, Soham and Antara. This track stands out for its celebratory tone. In fact, it seems to be a full on fiesta time with this number. It is flamboyant, racy and has oodles of funk. Pritam 'regulars'. Soham and Rana are well supported by Antara. It promises to be a true visual treat as well.
After this entire extravaganza, the mood in the album shifts to something pensive and almost sad. The number is called 'Kyon' and has been sung superbly by Clinton Cerejo. This solo number has been composed very well with good lyrical input from Kumaar. But it is really Cerejo's voice which carries the day and makes it one of the most outstanding tracks of this album. The number has a very contemporary feel to it and despite its heavy subject matter, the song does not depress. On the contrary, it is one of those numbers which calls for compulsive, multiple hearing.
The album concludes with 'You Are My Love', which has been sung by Neeraj Sridhar, Kunal Ganjawala, Alisha Chinoy, Megha and Rajesh. This number is one of your typical fun numbers, full of camaraderie. All the singers gel well and the effect is quite pleasant.
The album of 'All the Best' lives up to its promise of providing good times and Pritam continues to surprise as usual. The composer does not just stop at providing entertaining, catchy music. In fact, he stretches himself and composes some really genuine compositions in 'Martaba' and 'Kyon' and lends the album a touch of class. Pritam's score for 'All The Best' may not be the best but it definitely captures some really good times.
