Shayarana comes as a savior in the form of a rock-ballad-meets- qawaali by Shalmali Kholgade. Wajid and Shreya do deliver enthusiastic renditions but ultimately ‘Rangreli’ is mediocre fare. The baraati-brass gets old quickly and the lyrics are not impressive either. The disappointment continues with Rangreli, which sounds just as aged and dated as ‘Mannat’, if not more. If you were expecting to listen to a new Sonu Nigam number and delve into bittersweet nostalgia of his golden era, prepare to be sorely disappointed. Similarly, the reprise gets off to a beautiful start, expertly penned by Munir and aptly crooned by Ghoshal but as soon as the chorus hits, the cringe-worthy theatrics takeover and the beauty fades, fast. It gets off to a promising melodious start but quickly becomes an aged dramatic number that is immediately off putting. Sonu Nigam’s rare presence is unfortunately undermined due to the ill-conceived Mannat. All in all, a powerful start to the soundtrack. Munir’s expert grasp of Urdu is only surpassed by his impressive culinary innuendos. Ali and Chauhan make a brilliant pair and complement the lyrical back and forth well. The title track opens the soundtrack and is an energetic qawaali/electronica by Javed Ali and Sunidhi Chauhan. Needless to say, music enthusiasts are curious to see what is in stock for us from this unlikely merger.ĭaawat-e-Ishq’s songs have been penned by Kausar Munir while vocalists featured on the soundtrack include Sonu Nigam (‘Abhi Mujhme Kahin’ – Agneepath), Javed Ali (‘Tera Deedar Hai’ – Jannat 2), Sunidhi Chauhan (‘Sheila Ki Jawaani’ – Tees Maar Khan), Shreya Ghoshal (‘Chikni Chameli’ – Agneepath), Shalmali Kholgade (‘Pareshaan’ – Ishaqzaade) and Wajid (‘Jalwa’ – Wanted).
