Radhe Music Review: Salman Khan’s Album Could Have Used More Himesh Reshammiya
Radhe Music Review Rating: 2.5/5 (Two and a Half Stars)
Music Directors: Sajid Wajid, Rockstar DSP (Devi Sri Prasad)
Salman Khan reunites with his go-to composers Sajid-Wajid and Himesh Reshammiya for his latest film, Radhe. But does this musical lineup hit the right notes? Let’s dive into the tracks to find out.
Radhe Music Review – Seeti Maar
The opening track, “Seeti Maar,” aims for a high-energy start but falls short. Though it begins with a promising beat suitable for a Salman Khan entry, it quickly descends into mediocrity. Shabbir Ahmed’s lyrics and Kamaal Khan’s vocals fail to make a lasting impression. The track would have benefited greatly from Himesh Reshammiya’s touch, especially for a song that needs a strong vocal presence. Unfortunately, this song might be the weakest opener for a Salman film in recent years.
Radhe Music Review – Dil De Diya
“Dil De Diya” could have been a standout if it had been the lead single. Echoing the vibe of “Le Le Mazaa Le” from Wanted, this track has a nostalgic charm. Although there’s a sense of familiarity, Kamaal Khan’s performance, coupled with Payal Dev’s voice, delivers a solid number that fans would enjoy. Himesh’s involvement could have elevated this track even further.
Radhe Music Review – Radhe Title Track
The title track is a standard high-energy number designed to showcase Salman’s swag. While it doesn’t reach the heights of Dabangg or Bodyguard, it still has some appeal. Sajid-Wajid’s influence is evident, with playful tunes and a lively beat. However, it may not resonate with listeners outside of Salman Khan’s fan base.
Radhe Music Review – Zoom Zoom
“Zoom Zoom” suffers from an overambitious arrangement that quickly becomes overwhelming. Starting with a catchy tune, it devolves into a noisy, high-pitched mess. Ash King’s attempts to salvage the track fall flat, making this one of the least enjoyable songs on the album.
Radhe Music Review: Last Word
In summary, Radhe’s soundtrack needed more of Himesh Reshammiya’s signature touch. The album offers a mixed bag of tracks that balance between good and bad. While the title track might find a home in single-screen theatres, the overall experience leaves much to be desired.
