Abhishek Arora, Anupam Roy and Shantanu Moitra take turns composing music for
October, and while the soundtrack is no match for
Piku, a sweet little affair it is, whose distinctive sonic palette makes it one of the better original works to release this year. Abhishek's
Theher Ja is characterised by an upbeat, twinkling arrangement that gains immensely from Armaan Malik's effervescent singing, while Sunidhi Chauhan wows in
Manwaa, a minimalist melody set to tune by Shantanu Moitra. Anupam Roy's
Tab Bhi Tu, despite an earnest rendition by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, never lands where it should, instead sounding like a pale imitation of the kind of melancholic songs Mithoon/Bhatt camp routinely churn out. Moitra's strings-laden
October Theme deserves a mention too, even as he employs heavier beats and dance-friendly structures in
Chal, a retro-styled rhythmic piece sung by Monali Thakur.
October brings much-needed sunshine to what's been a relatively lacklustre year for Bollywood.
