After a disastrous start to the new year with `Tashan' , a lot seems to be riding on Kunal Kohli's `Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic'. Why not? Especially when Kunal has given hits like `Fanaa' and `Hum Tum'. The music for this album has been composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy who return to the Yash Raj camp after `Jhoom Barabar'. The lyrics have been penned by Prasoon Joshi who was instrumental in the success of `Fanaa' with some splendid lines.
The album begins with `Pyaar Ke Liye' with some beautifully penned lines by Prasoon Joshi. The track has been crooned by Shankar Mahadevan and is serene. The song carries a complete calm atmosphere except for the `oohooh' bit which takes away the calmness. Still the track remains a pretty decent number.
`Nihaal Ho Gayi' comes in as the finest from the album. The qawalli-punjabi feel lifts the song and makes it a meaningfully dance oriented track. Crooned by Shankar once again, calls for complete attention towards the splendid lyrics. With lines such as `Jisko mein bheed samajta tha,Wohlog ho gaye'; the track is a complete winner. The remix version too should be well received by the masses.
`Bulbula' brings in Sundihi Chauhan carrying the fairy feel with ease. The song is just apt with the theme of the film thus portraying Rani Mukherjee as a fairy etc. The track is sure set to get the kids glued on with some great visuals.
`Lazy Lamhe' carries the oomph factor in a so called children's film. The track has been rendered by newcomer Anusha Mani and the track indeed carries the Indi-pop feel to it. The remix version by DJ Aqeel also proves to be a winner. The track is sure to come in as the magical portion for the film.
`Beetey Kal Se' comes in as a complete track for the kids. The track has a definite fairy feel to it, with dialogues of interaction between Rani Mukherjee and the kids. Meanwhile the track has been crooned by Shreya Ghoshal with a little assistance from the kids -Sneha and Suresh.
On the whole, `Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic' carries the magical feel and promises to rope in the entire family for a so called fun filled movie with some feel good compositions.
