“aahista aahista” the current rewind repeat

Leaving aside Bipasha Basu and story of Bacchna eye hasinoon (what can I say but I like usual slapsticks too…unless there is no proper storyline) , what I really liked were songs. They were not mind blowing but really nice music. There was lucky boy portrayed on Bipasha basu, or “khuda jaane” on doe eyed deepika padukone. Then there was title track, a nice remix of old and new song “bacchna eye hasnoon” the old was all time favorite (sung by none other that the versatile singer and my all time fave, Kishore Kumar)but this new remix was good too. Not a remix actually, only the music and first CH or paragraph that is repeated, was used, the remaining was entirely new…(of what was remaining)
The best song of the lot was however called aahista aahista sung by Shreya ghoshal and lucky Ali. The music was actually good, with my fave instrument guitar used. while lucky ali’s voice compliments the high pitch required for the song, the best part I found was the double voice of Shreya ghoshal, one a very low voice and another high pitched, that gave the song its flavor…the mingling of two voices, that meanwhile one singer stops singing, the other starts…that created a fantastic continuity in the song…The another factor here was the stanzas…both the singers are actually singing two different songs….if you notice it…while the female voice is saying one thing, the male voice is saying something else, not continuously that we find confusion but rapidly one after each other so that we keep a track and the effect is real nice mixture…using “confusion” will just negate whatever I am trying to say.
The second stanza starts with piano rapidly playing to the heartbeats used in the songs right from the start. And the “ohoho…” sung effortlessly by Lucky ali, surely made this song repeat a million times in the office VLC media player or the Sony mp3 that I hear in the commuting time. This song simply makes me want to sing karaoke…But just imagine the terror in bus or office, and its not the first time that it has happened.
