Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap Music Review
About time Mr Amitabh Bachchan was knighted for his contribution to the arts, and asked to take it easy. Lately, hes been acting beyond his age (thanks progeria-Paa), and if that pumps new blood and vigour in his already inter-stellar career, so be it, but acting on one side, and now taking his singing seriously, thats another altogether unchartered territory.
How else will you digest four of the five tracks from the film credited to his melodious voice, or is it? Film actors, without playback artists, cannot hold a note where Mr Bachchan is capable of launching a few hundred advertising campaigns on the strength of his commandeering voice, but is that music to our ears?
Haal-e-Dil, the first track plays out like hes reading a shloka, albeit a love song, a poem at an inter-state college poetry recital programme. Another singer would have sung it with the flourish only another singer can produce those little harkats we are so fond of hearing in plaintive renditions, those surprise turns that twitch our nerves into exclamatory cheer. Vishal-Shekhar, who have composed this track, perhaps understanding the limitation of Mr Bachchans voice, fine-tune the track with that restrain which you can feel through the soft-pedaling timbre of his voice a flat-out recital you should ask grandma to sing to lull you into sleep.
The title track Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap, also vociferously sung by who else, is his fist in your face, dare you call this man approaching the winter of his age, (notwithstanding his snowbeard) where he proclaims he is the cool of school. This is how fans would like to see the ageing superstar defend his corner in the ring of stardom. The remix version is scratchy inchoate. His acapella version is where you pay your respects to the once angry young man, now slightly wounded lion licking his sore paws.
Go Meera Go is a chutney of previous Bachchan hits, punctuated with beta Jr Bachchans sloganeering a situational track that will have the Bachchan khaandaan cheer-leading a friendly match for box-office status quo.
Sunidhi Chauhan gets a solo, Main Chandigarh Di Star a pataka number designed for Raveena Tandons comeback dhols, guitars, drums, standard tripe.
That brings us to a close. Its unlikely youll rewind, bbuddah ho gaya yeh soundtrack.
Viacom18 and AB Corp's 'Bbuddah - Hoga Terra Baap' will see Amitabh Bachchan in his 70's self. Written & Directed by Puri Jagannadh, 'Bbuddah - Hoga Terra Baap' will resurrect the legendary Amitabh Bachchan's 'Angry old man avatar'.
In the movie Amitabh Bachchan reprises the famous 'Vijay' that he has played in popular films like Deewar, Agneepath and Zanjeer. He essays the role of a retired Hitman settled in Paris who comes back to India to do 'one last job'. During the course he comes face to face with his past and that gets him to change his motive for the 'hit'.
