Though there are four different lyricists – Amitabh Bhattacharya, Neelesh Misra, Ashish Pandit and Kumaar – are roped in for a song apiece with Devi Sri Prasad also chipping in as a guest composer, you look forward to whether Ready indeed has enough streangth in it to be the biggest commercial soundtrack of the year so far.
Pritam gives a fantastic start to Ready with ‘Character Dheela’ and what actually catches your instant attention is the fact that despite this being a Salman Khan entertainer, the song has the trademark sound that the composer is known for lending to his songs. If one has liked the kind of tunes that Pritam has composed he is bound to totally lap up ‘Character Dheela’ due to the Salman element being cleverly integrated by Amitabh Bhattacharya through his smart lyrics .What Else can we say its already Topping the Charts
Going totally by Salman’s on/off screen image which in any case is hardly different these days, ‘Character Dheela’ by Neeraj Shridhar and Amrita Kak is a lot of fun for those four minutes that it plays. An interesting choreography with Zarine Khan exuding oomph (She indeed is Looking Sincilating in the Video) is another good reason that further consolidates the fact that ‘Character Dheela’ would entice a lot of Appreciation from the Mass(The Sittis and Taalis) when it plays on screen. A chartbuster all the way that also arrives in a ‘remix’ and accentuates the fun.
Next is the kind of romantic number that Salman had to his name in dozens during the 90s. Written by Neelesh Misra, ‘Humko Pyar Hua’ also has short English portions in between the ‘antra’ and has KK going subtle in his rendition with Tulsi Kumar giving him good support. Though the original tune as well as it’s remix is fine and doesn’t give any reason to complain, it is nowhere close to the kind that Salman has enjoyed in Veer and Dabangg (Tere Mast Mast Nain). At the end of it all, ‘Humko Pyar Hua’ is one harmless number that will find some popularity going for it only after the film turns out to be a success.
What is definitely going to be popular though in the very first go is ‘Dhinka Chika’ which is all set to be the biggest chartbuster of the first half of 2011 at the least. A re-done version of Telugu number ‘Ringa Ringa’ from the film Arya 2 with the original composer Devi Sri Prasad being roped in here, ‘Dhinka Chika’ (also arriving again in the ‘remix version’) has Mika Singh and Amrita Kak bringing on the kind of attitude that was pretty much required for the song of this genre. Ashish Pandit’s lyrics are as Catchy as it gets and reminds one of the songs that were made for Mithun Chakravorty, Jeetendra and Govinda during the 80s. Expect .This One is a ChartBuster for Sure. One can relate it to a Ek Do Teen of Madhuri Dixit , It tells you 12 Different ways to Love in all the Months from Jan to Dec 12th. Simply Gr8… :winner:
Pritam returns on the scene with a quintessential North Indian ‘shaadi byaah’ celebration track ‘Meri Ada Bhi’ that starts off with the folk rendition of much heard ‘Laung Gawacha’. A rhythmic track that surprisingly has Rahat Fateh Ali Khan at the helm of affairs (since he is known more for his soulful melodies rather than dance numbers), ‘Meri Ada Bhi’ is what one terms as the kind of number which has been made for family audience. Tulsi Kumar too is pretty much in elements here for this song that at places does tend to veer towards ‘U and I’ (Pritam’s composition from De Dana Dan at places) courtesy the way Rahat approaches it before the composer manages to pull it all back.
