Music Review: 83 (Hindi)

Composer(s): Pritam Chakraborty
Listen to the songs online here: JioSaavn

The qawwali'esque Lehra Do is an unabashed rousing anthem set to an amalgamation of thunderous percussion and soaring choruses, while Bigadne De is a propulsive techno banger led by effervescent vocals from Benny Dayal. Utth Ja Ziddi Re is almost Amit Trivedi-like in its arrangements, and led by Tushar Joshi (and Raghav Chaitanya in a second version), the track works well a spirited slice of soft-rock. Yeh Hausle finds an in-form K.K. and Papon crooning the heavy yet gentle and beautiful piece, even as it paves the way for an extended chorus that amplifies its symphonic, orchestral glamour. Sakht Jaan is another highlight, its screeching guitars and forceful walls of sound accompanied by Amit Mishra's phenomenal vocal runs. With 83, Pritam throws up a surprise with a very diverse and engaging set of songs.
