With a name like Aloo Chaat, one expects a spicy musical treat. Thankfully one is not let down by the musical composers of this movie. Director Robby Grewal's Aloo Chaat, which stars Aftab Shivdasani and Aamna Shariff, has not just one composer but four of them, coming together to create a score which is high on rhythm and entertainment. The film's music has been composed by RDB, Xulfi, Vipin Mishra and Mehfuz Mahruf.
RDB takes the first lead with the title track, 'Aloo Chaat.' This is a number which has all the potential to top the charts. It is a number which hooks the listener from the word go. Aiding that is the high voltage rendition by RDB, joined by Smooth and Nindy Kaur. In fact, it is Nindy's unconventional vocals which really give the song that X factor. There is another version of the 'Aloo Chaat' number, which has been composed by Vipin Mishra. This is more of a fun track which also appears in a remix (DJ Moody and DJ Imti) version later. Kailash Kher lends his voice to both these versions and does an excellent job of it. He manages to impart a kind of rustic appeal to the song, which is quite appealing.
It seems that the composers cannot get enough of Aloo Chaat and there is yet another song with 'Aloo Chaat' in it. Sung by Kunal Ganjawala, this is yet another fun track called 'Life Is A Sizzling Aloo Chaat.' Ganjawala can be trusted to do full justice to the demands of the number and he does not let one down. He is quite bang on target in this number which has been composed by Mehfuz Mahruf, with lyrics by Syed Gulrez. The song has the protagonist talk about the love of his life in a very effective yet simple manner. The simplicity is evident in the choice of words by the lyricist.
The makers of this film also succumb to the charms of the Punjab with the number called 'Boliyaan'.' This is another very entertaining number, which is authentic Punjabi, full of robust energy. It is the kind of number that is bound to have one hitting the dance floor. It is bound to do well at weddings. The number has been written, composed and sung by RDB, with Nindy Kaur joining in. The song has a second version as well, which is just as charming as the first. Both versions have different lyrics and music.
Xulfi of the Pakistani band Call, makes his entry into the album with the number 'Dhadke Jiya,' which has been written, composed and sung by him. This song is slightly different from the rest of the numbers that went before it as it is high on melody and not just entertainment. This is the quintessential romantic number of the album and the lyrics are quite appropriate. Since it is a soft number, Xulfi is able to give full play to his vocal prowess. This song too has a remixed version which has DJ Moody and DJ Imti showcasing their talent in keeping the melodic content of the song intact.
Aloo Chaat's music turns out to be quite entertaining. All the numbers, with the exception of 'Dhadke Jiya' are numbers where the fun quotient is very high. The sound of this album is young, boisterous and entertaining. The title track should definitely catch on and climb the charts. With a name like Aloo Chaat, the music can best be described as sweet and tangy.
