EXPECTATIONS

One has to make himself doubly sure before picking up the album of Robot. Firstly, because there are two soundtrack versions of Robot made available on stands - a Tamil and a Hindi version. Secondly, even in Hindi version, song titles (is it really Swanand Kirkire who has written lyrics here?) go as 'Pagal Anukan', 'Chitty Dance Showcase', 'Arima Arima', 'Boom Boom', 'Kilimanjaro'. Frankly, it is hard to fathom if the songs in the album would indeed be in Hindi. Despite the name A.R. Rahman being associated with Robot, one still plays on the album with some apprehension because it is a classic case of a soundtrack carrying a feeling of being dubbed rather than something like Raavan which carried its own distinct flavour of Hindi as well as Tamil due to the film being a bilingual.

MUSIC


As expected, Robot sees a techno beginning for itself in the first song 'Naina Miley'. The song does carry the kind of sound that Rahman had made popular in the 90s and hence there is a strong sense of deja vu. However, the lyrics really kill the show here with words that go as: 'I Robo Dooba Mai, Pyaar Mein Dooba Re; I am a Super Girl, Teri Pyaari Rapper Girl'. Surprisingly, even though Rahman himself comes behind the mike for this one, there is little impact made. Comparatively, Suzanne's voice does carry a naughty streak to it which does lend an added zing to the song. With English lyrics and background vocals by Kash n Krissy, 'Naina Miley' is the kind of dance number that comes with the potential of looking good more than sounding phenomenal.

Each song is very inspiring and well-coordinated science fiction film. Here goes. The song starts with Naye Insaan. The song is very insensitive and entirely suitable for a robot movie. Extremely interesting to listen to, but nobody is taking the easy terms of the first take.
