MUSIC REVIEW: Emraan's Tum Mile
An Emraan Hashmi-Mahesh Bhatt collaboration is always special. They have arguably backed some of the most exceptional music in recent times. Gangster, Awarapan, Jaanat, Raaz – The Mystery Continues…and many more in the past. Which is why their latest offering Tum Mile, comes with a baggage of tremendous expectations. But the big question is – Will Pritam deliver another Jannat?
Tum Mile opens with a surprise. Unlike most Emraan Hashmi soundtracks, there is no intense KK number to set the mood. Instead we have a peppy Neeraj Shridhar track, where the singer showcases his softer side. Tum Mile's title song is easy on the ears and maintains it's fun filled tempo. If you liked Soniye... in Raaz – The Mystery Continues then Tum Mile... should work big time.
The song gets an altogether new spin with Shafaqat Amanat Ali's rock version. This time the arrangements are more dramatic in sound. Javed Ali's version of the title song is perhaps the best of the lot. Simple beats, melodious singing.
KK makes his grand entry with the brilliant Dil Ibadat. Very well written and beautifully composed, Dil Ibadat has the signature Bhatt camp style all over it. It's a worthy successor to Tu Hi Meri Shab (Gangster) and Zara Si Dil Mein (Jannat). Dil Ibadat is an instant winner. Few singers can express pain as effectively as KK does.
There is another rock version of the song. But frankly except for a few guitars here and there, the feel is pretty much the same.
Just when one was getting over the previous track, comes Tu Hi Haqeeqat. While the feel is similar to Dil Ibadat, Pritam cleverly uses a different voice. Javed Ali gives Tu Hi Haqeeqat a distinct character. This is yet another fantastic composition by Pritam and should be on the charts very soon.
Mohit Chauhan changes his regular style in the fast paced Is Jahaan Mein. A fast paced, fun number this one has a bit of Jazz and Indi Pop rolled into each other. Though not instantly catchy, it's Chauhan's singing that towers over the tune. KK once again towers over the rest with his beautiful rendition of O Meri Jaan. Pain is still the dominant theme in the song, but if picturised effectively this one could have a big impact on screen.
The instrumental theme is a situational music piece that depicts the grim mood of a natural disaster in the film. Surprisingly, there is no female voice in any of the songs. Neither are there any fast-paced remixes. The Bhatts have also kept their Sufi Pop flavour to the minimum this time.
The mood is pretty much 'senti' throughout. But then that's always been Hashmi's calling card. With so much noise being churned out in the name of music, Tum Mile is a refined stuff.
Verdict: Tum Mile has some wonderful compositions – which are further enhanced by the lyrics. However, there are no overnight chartbusters. It remains to be seen if the masses give it a thumping response. Tum Mile is quality music that needs patience to grow.
Rating: 3/5

It is pretty much easy to become a critic.You design a
website..Host it by spending a few bucks and start righting
your most valuable thoughts about anything and yes...You are
the critic.
but i think when one rights a review he or she must not be
biased.Criticism is not only those things you think about
it.It is completely unjustified to share your very personal
view while criticising on something.One critic must have a
mental ability to understand the point of view of the
creator of that stuff and point of view of people for whom
the thing is created.
it is easy to write a review or commenting on a post.But
it is pretty tough work to create a new thing.If the thing
is not up to the mark,in this case it is music of "tum
mile",then audience and public will reject it.
but for the time being,i,one of "audiences" will
again repeat,buzz18 is being biased.And music of "tum
mile" is underrated here.
Mostly i found when people comment on a post. They don't
understand that critical review of any music or movie is
based on what that critic (journalist) thinks from his point
of view. Its true that tum mile got an amazing score.
but we all should pay respect to the critic. If anyone was
so talented to criticize any stuff then he or she will be
behind the scene and writing this review, not posting
comments on it.
I think buzz18 has no idea about music cause tum mile is one
of the best album of 2009,no doubt.After metro this is the
only album which all songs are listenable.My rating 4.5/5
Yet another underrated album.Buzz18 proves to be biased one
more time.
i don't need to mention why i think.People who have
listened to this album i think they would also believe that
this is one of the fantastic albums of 2009.
my rating:4/5
I hope the reviewer knows that there is one more kk track in
the movie- "o meri jaan"
