EXPECTATIONS

Once upon a time in Bollywood, there was a film called Kaminey. And now is the time for some Lafangey Parindey. Really, there is some good tolerance which is coming in, a result of which titles like these are now sounding rather cool instead of being considered as cuss. Of course the banner Yash Raj Films counts due to which there is a definite acceptance comes in. Add to that fact that the film features Neil Nitin Mukesh and Deepika Padukone and you know that there is something out and out commercial waiting to happen. Same are the expectations from the music as well where director Pradeep Sarkar moves away from his regular composer Shantanu Moitra to join hands with R. Anandh, the man who was a part of the band 'Agosh' that had given the music for Sunny Deol and Sushmita Sen starrer Zor. Lyricist Swanand Kirkire is pretty much retained though by the team here.

MUSIC

It is a clear Tarantino influence in the way title song 'Lafangey Parindey' begins. As the song moves ahead, one realises that this influence continues for a good duration of the song. Well, till the 100th second before the song takes an Indian route. However, except for the brief chorus period where 'Lafangey Parindey' gets into 'masti' and 'dhamaal' mood, the song stays on to be Western in its treatment with a soft rock mood prevalent throughout. A song about high attitude, this Ronit Sarkar sung number has an edgy feel to it though made strictly for the situation in the film. Given an extra push, it could have been yet another 'Dum' [Dum] or 'O Mera Khuda' [Prince].

Ronit Sarkar begins to sing the title song. The song begins with music of this center, but soon other instruments can be heard. Subsequently acquired a touch of rock and makes a little interesting for young people. The track, a group of people without spirit, and is in the air and appreciated.
