Since this is primarily a dramatic thriller, one waits to hear what the ensemble of composers, lyricists and singers bring on board for Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Co. The album concludes with Gaurav Godkhindi composed ' Wazir Theme' which is actually quite exciting and goes totally well with the genre, mode and spirit of the film. Prashant Pillai steps in as a composer and also partners with singer Gagan Baderiya for this track which has a thumping appeal to it. A sufi track which has an extended 'alaap' to it that leads to a rather rhythmic outing with Javed Ali leading the charge, ' Maula' too is easy on ears and gets into the groove once 'tabla' takes over the proceedings. .
One clear observation though is that the song is closer to Vidhu Vinod Chopra's mind-set than the kind which director Bejoy Nambiar experimented with in Shaitaan and David. Though one isn't quite hunting for any solid chartbusters here, the music does work well in the context of the film. Though strictly situational, this one should add on well to the film's narrative. It is the voice of Amitabh Bachchan which haunts right at the beginning of ' Khel Khel Mein' which is a fusion Western-Indian classical music put together by composer Advaita. Next to arrive is a haunting track ' Tere Liye Mere Kareem' which can well be expected to arrive at a crucial juncture of the film when a major dramatic sequence ensues. In fact, Vidhu Vinod Chopra brings himself on board as the lyricist for this soulful track that is quite easy on ears. A romantic melody that has the kind of theme and design to it which could well have fitted into Aashiqui 2, this is yet another soulful piece and actually makes you play it on in a repeat mode without any regrets.
Almost an unplugged version with hardly any instruments in the background, it also reminds one of ' Safarnama' that was composed by A. With a dramatic appeal to it, one can be rest assured that it would not just appear during the opening credit rolls but also at certain important points in the film's narrative. Ankit Tiwari steps in as a composer and singer for ' Tu Mere Paas' which is written by Manoj Muntashir. Though the sound is quite classical for a film which is set in the current times, one can well expect that it would fit in well into the narrative. Though there are very lines written by Abhijeet Deshpande that one hears from Big B who is basically narrating, not quite singing this one here , it intrigues one enough to wonder what truly is in store for the audience once they watch Wazir. Composer Shantanu Moitra gets another song to his name by putting together ' Maula' which has his lyricist partner Swanand Kirkire pair up with Vidhu Vinod Chopra. As a matter of fact, this one has Imtiaz Ali style written all over it.
Written by Turaz, this one is strictly situational with western arrangements adding on to the effect. . . . .
