SAHEB BIWI AUR GANGSTER MOVIE MUSIC REVIEW

There are decent (though not extraordinary) expectations from the music of Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster. After all, the film hasn’t been promoted as a musical and there aren’t any major/established names on the credit details either. Moreover unlike its similar sounding counterpart Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam, this Tigamanshu Dhulia affair hasn’t claimed itself to be a musical classic in the making. With hopes of something that may just end up being a tad surprising, one plays on Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster that has multiple composers at the helm of affairs with Sandeep Nath as the lyricist.

MUSIC

First to arrive is Jaidev Kumar’s ‘Jugni‘, a Punjabi track which has a folk base to it. No wonder the same tune was also heard in Tanu Weds Manuearlier this year with just a slightly different presentation. Sung and written by Baboo Mann, the song has anyways been established as a popular chartbuster ever since Mika sung it for Kangna. Now with a version being created for Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, one doesn’t have any complaint whatsoever.

Shell Hada sings ‘Main Ek Bhanwra‘ which basically belongs to the Mohit Chauhan territory and has a soft tune to it. Sandeep Nath writes for a protagonist who is wondering whether he has done the right thing by thinking big and falling in love despite all the adversities around him. One does miss the spark in this Amit Sial composition though which seems like a drag instead of exciting you as a listener and ends up sounding like a sad track that may only slower the pace of the film’s narrative.
