Music Review: Bobby Jasoos (Hindi)

Composer(s): Shantanu Moitra
Listen to the songs online here: Saavn

Incorporating a melange of folk and South Indian folk elements, the celebratory Jashn is an exuberant listen, getting further solid purchase in Shreya Ghoshal and Bonnie Chakraborty's perky vocals. Tu is spectacularly dreamy, the serene ghazal'ish melody immensely benefitting from beautiful arrangements - guitar, sarangi, santoor, veena et al - and singers Shreya Ghoshal and Papon, who swap their portions in the equally melodic Reprise version. The title song rides on a wacky orchestration, mixing an array of sounds, and Neeraj Shridhar croons it well too. Sweety however is a tad generic to make an impact despite Aishwarya Nigam and Monali Thakur's best efforts to enliven the proceedings. Shantanu Moitra churns out a worthy blend of folky numbers and melodies with Bobby Jasoos.
