Music Review: Victory

Jaan-e-man was the last time Anu Malik was in top form. This score hovers around the average mark like most of his recent output, writes Nikhil Taneja.

Scratch your heard a bit. Oh yeah,

Jaan-e-man

was the last time Anu Malik was in top form. This score hovers around the average mark like most of his recent output.

The soothing

Tu ne re

somewhat salvages the album and

Balla utha

works largely due to the sheer vocal energy of Sukhwinder Singh and Daler Mehendi.

Percussion effects are overused. The title track, with all its drumming, is especially dull and at nearly eight minutes(!), tests your patience. Money money is another let-down, with bland lyrics that go,

Show me the money, hey take the honey.. Wohi aish kare, jo is duniya ko bas cash kare

.

Not a winning score this.
