Victoria No.203 (Hindi – Viju Shah)

The title song and Zindagi aa gayee aimlessly amble on to their illogical ends. Amit Kumar replaces his dad, along with Mahendra Kapoor-replacement Udit Narayan, in Do bechare’s remix. Viju’s techno additions do help in mildly salvaging this classic. Thoda sa thehro is a much better remix of the original ui-ma-hold-that-towel chartbuster. Deedani sees Viju trying to regain his lost ‘Gupt’ glory but this techno-melody never reaches those levels. He may be the right person to lay claim to this soundtrack, but Viju Shah’s work just doesn’t have the spark of his dad’s original.

Keywords: Ashok Kumar, Pran, Kalyanji-Anandji, Sonia Vinod Mehra, Jimmy Shergill
