Details:

'Krrish 3' is the latest installment in the home-grown sci-fi franchise of Bollywood. Coming from the director -actor duo of Rakesh Roshan and Hrithik Roshan, the expectations from this one are huge even as we wonder why 'Krrish 3' never had a 'Krrish 2' to follow up on (the assertion that 'Koi Mil Gaya' was Krrish 1 and so on is a rather convenient one). However, we are here to discuss the music album of the said movie and here goes.

'Krrish Krrish' starts off rather interestingly as classical sitar notes play off regular techno beats. The important thing with superhero title tracks is that they must ably reflect the philosophical gravitas of the superhero concept and that is where, sadly, thissong fails miserably. The chorus of ‘Krrish Krrish’ is understandably and deliberately kiddish (or is it?) but it could have used an intense guitar groove in the background to lend the required seriousness. Instead,underwhelming lyrics give company to an under-arranged track resulting in a lukewarm superhero song. No goosebumps here.

'Raghupati Raghav' is the quintessential dance number of the album. Despite the arrangements being expectedly old-school, the hook-line has a peppy hummability to it. However,party tracks in Bollywood have seen a sea of change in the past 3-4 years and this one s strangely oblivious to all of them. Arabic guitar riffs towards the second half of the track do threaten to save this number but are sadly cut down in their prime. Overall, decent is the only adjective that can describe this out-of-place dance number.

'Dil Tu Hi Bata', the romantic ballad,is a whole new exercise in rediscovering the forgotten trends of Bollywood music. It is as if old-school decided to force-feed a refresher course of its choicest corny musical arrangements. The vocals by Alisha Chenoy and Zubeen Garg are above par but the arrangements are so puerile and cringe-worthy that you hardly notice the singers. It is sad that I have to trash the song without even giving it a bare minimum level of appreciation but that’s how it is.

'You Are My Love' is the intended fun track of the film with a dash of romance but hardly makes any favourable impression. The lyrics are decidedly lame and corny and the melody, at its best, has archaeological significance. The less said about this song the better.

'God Allah aur Bhagwaan' is a good-hearted but preachy song intended for kids who were born between the years1980 to 1990. But since they are not kids anymore and are instead writings cathing music reviews like yours truly, this missile is targeted at the empty bunkers. The original theme music from 'Koi Mil Gaya' ( a good melody) is the only saving grace of the whole track but still not sufficient to salvage any real value out of this one.

The remixes are strictly OK and fortunately numbered down to just two. 

Verdict:

Overall, this album disappoints because of the heavy-handed treatment and dusty arrangements and fails to add any value to the superhero flick. 'Raghupati Raghav' is a standout of sorts and is most likely to be the only one that can be mildly remembered.
