It is not uncommon to witness actors and actresses
being cast in double roles. In fact, it works in the movie's favor since
it enables them to portray their versatility and talent in one frame.
But what happens when our equally genius directors receive a sudden
brainwave to cast an actor in a triple role instead of double? That too
with not one actor but three! This concept forms the premise of Sajid
Khan's latest comedy venture,
Humshakals. The film stars talents such as
Saif Ali Khan,
Riteish Deshmukh,
Ram Kapoor, Tamanna Bhatia,
Bipasha Basu,
Esha Gupta and
Satish Shah all in pivotal roles.
Humshakals official album, released on the 26
th May,

2014, comprises of six
tracks, all of which are composed by the versatile
Himesh Reshammiya. Read below to know our thoughts of each track.
The album opens with "Caller Tune", an upbeat romantic
number carrying the voices of Neeraj Shridhar and
Neeti Mohan. The track
has been penned by
Sameer and we're sure in due time it is bound to
have everyone bobbing their head to the catchy tune. The fact that the
"Caller Tune" is already listed as one of the most downloaded songs is a
sure indication of where the song is heading.
Up next is the foot tapping and groove-worthy for dance floor, "Piya
Ke Bazaar". This song features the magical vocals of
Himesh Reshammiya, Shalmali
Kholgade and
Palak Muchhal and has been written by Shabbir Ahmed. "Piya Ke Bazaar" is
already an extremely popular song that makes one hone in their party mood unknowingly and is
perfect for a DJ's playlist.
"Just Look Into My Eyes" is a slow, uptempo romantic track
sung by the talented Ash King and
Neeti Mohan. Lyrics have expertly been
penned once again by
Sameer. Relatively mellow compared to
the initial two songs of the album, it is a nice change and a lovely
song to sway to with a
significant other.
Taking instrumentals as its main underlying theme, "Barbaad
Raat" is a slow number that incorporates the trend of inserting English lyrics.
Sanam Puri and
Shalmali Kholgade lent their powerful vocals for this
Sameer number. With its
symphony of melodies, it nicely flows from the previous track and is soothing song to the ears.
The master himself,
Himesh Reshammiya vocalizes the next track, "Hum Pagal
Nahin Hai". Despite being an uncanny song, the lyrics - written by
Mayur Puri -
have a strong underlying theme that overrides the disturbing melody on the
whole.
The enigmatic combo of
Mika Singh and
Palak Muchhal concludes the album with their
soft tempo in "Khol De Dil Ki Khidki", whilst Shabbir Ahmed penned this romantic
track. With its fair share of instrumentals, the track is a good listen and is a must for any romantic
playlists.
After the initial
hype, the album turned out to be an average at best. Humshakals is slated to released on the 20th
June, 2014 and BollyCurry wishes the entire team all the best. We wait
with
bated breaths for this newest addition to Indian cinema, which is slated
to be one of the biggest hits of the year. Be sure to include this
album in your playlist
