Music Review: Khamoshiyan (Hindi)

Composer(s): Ankit Tiwari, Bobby Imran, Jeet Gannguli, Naved Jafar

Bobby Imran's Tu Har Lamha is that familiar Bhatt song, ear-pleasing and melodious in Arijit Singh's vocals. Its other variant Subhan Allah goes for a more choir-like approach and works even better. Ankit Tiwari's only track for the album Bheeg Loon rides on the composer's haunting arrangements and singer Prakriti Kakar pulls it off very well too. (Ankit himself sings the other version.) Naved Zafar's Kya Khoya is relatively weaker of the lot, following a run-of-the-mill rock route to mixed results. Jeet Gannguli's title song (in two versions) is mostly predictable, but Baatein Ye Kabhi Na (in two versions again) turns out to be a wonderful earworm of a melody. An overdose of Arijit Singh aside, Khamoshiyan adheres so much to the Bhatt template that the songs end up with almost similar sounds!
