Citylights (Music review), Hindi – Jeet Ganguli

Muskurane is a stunningly beautiful combo – the lyrics, Arijit’s soaring vocals and the soorthing arrangement! Mohammed Irfan’s slower Unplugged version, in comparison, seems laboured. Neeti Mohan does well in Darbadar phire, but Jeet’s arrangement works better than the disjoint tune. Jeet gets the despondent, Todi-based tune perfectly with Arijit’s vocals in Soney do, while the singer aces Ek charraiya‘s Bengali-folk’sy tune better than Jeet’s too-clean-cut singing in the Unplugged version. The title song has Ustad Rashid Khan’s engaging singing competently layered over the racy music and Usha Uthup’s vocals! Citylights is the best Hindi soundtrack by Jeet Ganguli yet.
