Band Baaja Baaraat is the soundtrack album to the 2010 film of the same name directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films, starring Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma. The soundtrack featured nine songs composed by the duo Salim–Sulaiman and lyrics written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. It was released under the YRF Music label on 10 November 2010 to positive reviews.

Background

[edit]

The film's soundtrack and background score were composed by Salim–Sulaiman, who had notably composed for Chak De! India (2007), Roadside Romeo (2008), Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008), Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (2009) and Pyaar Impossible! (2010).[1] Salim described on the film's music, "A week before, I had gone to a wedding in Delhi, and the afterparty of that wedding had really cool music. So, I thought Band Baaja Baraat should have this kind of music."[2] Sulaiman stated that the song "Ainvayi Ainvayi" was rejected by Sharma as he could not understand the lyrics. He recalled that Salim had requested Chopra to include the song, and the latter convinced Sharma that the song would become a chartbuster.[2][1]

The album accompanied nine songs, including two remixes done by Abhijit Vaghani. Amitabh Bhattacharya wrote lyrics for all the songs, which were sung by Sunidhi Chauhan, Benny Dayal, Shreya Ghoshal, Natalie Di Luccio, Himani Kapoor, Harshdeep Kaur, Labh Janjua, Shrraddha Pandit, Master Saleem, Sukhwinder Singh, Amitabh Bhattacharya and Salim Merchant.[3][4] Upon the album release, Yash Raj Films issued a press statement giving a description of each track.[5] They described the opening song "Ainvayi Ainvayi" as "a funky, energetic number", "Tarkeebein" as a "youthful song with cool lyrics", "Aadha Ishq" as a "perfect love ballad", "Dum Dum" as a "unique, unabashed item number with a Sufi-rock feel", "Mitra" as "cool and contemporary", "Baari Barsi" as a "superbly re-orchestrated" traditional Punjabi wedding song and "Band Baaja Baaraat (Theme)" as "a pulsating track which perfectly represents the spirit of the movie".[5]

Release

[edit]

The track list was unveiled on 3 November 2010 at the Yash Raj Studios in Andheri, Mumbai, and the film's music was commercially launched on 10 November 2010.[6][4] The release coincided with a launch event held at the Reliance TimeOut store in Bandra, with the cast and crew members in attendance.[7]

Reception

[edit]

Ruchika Kher of Indo-Asian News Service gave a positive review, describing the album as a "fun-filled soundtrack" and called the dance numbers being the highlight.[8][9] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog stated "Salim Sulaiman nail the sound brilliantly; the tunes work only occasionally".[10] Joginder Tuteja for Bollywood Hungama described the music as "One of the better soundtracks that one has heard from the house of Yash Raj Films in last couple of years, Band Baaja Baaraat is also one of the best works of Salim-Sulaiman along with lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya" and selected "Ainvayi Ainvayi", "Aadha Ishq" and "Dum Dum (Sufi Mix)" as the disc's best tracks.[11] Sonil Dedhia of Rediff.com wrote "Music composers Salim-Sulaiman have done a good job as well. The songs are perfectly timed and in keeping with the mood of the film."[12] Mayank Shekhar of Hindustan Times added "The music bears a strong mix of Bhangra. Here of course, it sounds entirely a derivative of tracks from Dev.D (Pardesi), Tashan (Dil Haara Re), Delhi-6 (Yeh Dilli Hai Mere Yaar), Aisha (Mithi Mithi Bol)."[13]
