Film: Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd

Music: Vishal – Shekhar

Lyrics: Javed Akhtar

Rating: 3.5/5

After the release of Don, Excel Entertainment is back with the release of Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd. The music of the film can be rightly termed as ‘wow’.

In tune:

Sunidhi Chauhan proves her versatility yet again by singing ‘Sajnaji’. This song is certainly going to be the new hot song playing at all clubs till something better comes along and that it is certainly going to be long till that happens.

‘Jaane Hai Woh Kahan’ by Shreya Ghoshal and Shaan is sweet, romantic number that is delightfully sung. The song is perfect for all those single individuals, turn the song on and blissfully sleep thinking of what you would want your partner to be like (if you can control your dreams, you might even want to do the ‘filmy’ run in a garden with him/her).

Yet another sweet number in the soundtrack called ‘Halke Halke’ is rendered by Neeraj Sridhar. This song reminds you of the timeless and youthful music from movies like Dil Chahta Hai and Jhankaar Beats. This number is great to play over and over again till perhaps the cassette burns out.

The remix version of ‘Halke Halke’ is simply satisfactory. Not that it sounds any different, but if were to choose, the choice would simply be the one that is not remixed.

Wondering how to get her to say ‘yes’ to you? Whisk her off to Goa and tango (if you know the flamenco you could even perform for her) to ‘Pyaar Ki Yeh Kahani’ by Sunidhi Chauhan and Gayatri Iyer and you’ve got yourself a ‘Yes’. This fast paced track is a wonderful Latin dance number and provides the extra zing needed to the album. 

‘Haath Dhore’ is an instrumental number that has all the right elements to make it a number to let your hair down and dance to. This tune is something that can be played in clubs all over the globe.

Out of tune:

The song begins with the lyrics ‘I don’t know why’ and honestly neither do we. ‘Albela Albela’ is sung by Vishal Dadlani and Shankar Mahadevan. This song has too much going on in it. It is almost like the musicians are trying to out do the singers. On a better note, this track is certainly listenable, but not over again like the other tracks in the film.

The soundtrack of Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd is certainly peppy, funky and youthful. It won’t be suprising to see it top the charts, especially with songs like ‘Sajnaji’ and ‘Pyaar Ki Yeh Kahani’ that are bound to do well.
