Junoon means passion. This passionate love story is set in Kashmir and Punjab with Pulkit Samrat and Yami Gautam in the leading roles. The movie seems to follow a common story arc where the boy and girl begin with an attraction but also with some tension. They fall in love and then face some discord in their relationship, which becomes the meat of the story. If there is anything more to the story, it is hidden well in the trailer. The movie set to release on June 24 2016 and might appeal to the new crop joining colleges across the country.
Junooniyat Music Review
Meet Brothers, Jeet Ganguli, and Ankit Tiwari contribute to the movie soundtrack.
Junooniyat
Album by Meet Bros Anjjan
Label: T-Series
Length: 29:37 ( 6 Tracks )
Released: 30 May 2016
The title track doesn’t inspire much and the dance numbers by Meet Brother too are quite pedestrian. The only track that shows some potential is Mujhko Barsaat Banaalo composed by Ankit Tiwari and sung by Armaan Malik. Junooniyat music fits into the category where you can listen to these songs in the background, but they do not inspire to add them to your collection or go hunting on your devices.
Nachange Saari Raat
An upbeat dance number, it is a song that you will not notice. The rhythm is good enough to play the song on your dance playlist for the evening, but isn’t something that will grab your attention. It fits into the typical, common Punjabi dance tracks.
Singers: Meet Brothers, Neeraj Sridhar, Tulsi Kumar
Mujhko Barsaat Banalo
The Rock and Soft Rock music style seems like the current Bollywood trend. The song is melodious and you can listen to it other than the movie theaters. The jazz style, saxophone interludes add to the easy listening mood of the song. Armaan Malik complements Jeet Ganguli’s composition well.
Singers: Armaan Malik
Ishq Di Lat Tadpave
Ishq Di Lat is more toward what I will call Bollywood genre of music. Ankit Tiwari sings his own composition with Tulsi Kumar. Sounds of strings make an entry here again with some traditional Indian beats and rhythms. It is not a song that you can’t listen to, but it is not also a track that will pull you and make you listen to it again and again.
Singers: Ankit Tiwari, Tulsi Kumar
Junooniyat
For all the Junooniyat, the song has very little passion. The music fits into the easy listening style. Falak Shabir’s flat, non-baritone voice doesn’t add any junoon to the track. Any tempo and tension that the music builds is lost because of the vocals. It more or less joins the number of similar tracks.
Singers: Meet Brothers Anjjan, Falak Shabir
Pagalon Sa Naach
The title tells me that I should get ready for a wild dance! The track starts on the right tone, but then loses to capitalize on the start. The brass band style musical instrument choice reminds of the wedding bands that you hear in the wedding season. Although foot tapping, not something you want to hear frequently.
Singers: Meet Brothers, Khushboo Grewal
Tu Junooniyat
Jeet Ganguli’s good voice is lost in the composition. I would have loved to see him give vocals to Junnoniyat. The composition of Tu Junooniyat makes no connection with the lyrics and mood of the song. This one is a complete disaster.
Singers: Shrey Singhal, Akriti Kakar
