The first song, the title song, “Badaai Ho Badaai” has a little part by a chorus, and then Udit Narayan starts his rendition. The song is a modern ghazal, and is nothing special from Anu Malik. It sounds like his old hits in Virasat. But, still it is one of the better songs on this album. The next song, “Teri Zindigi Main Pyar” has an interesting Reggae start with interludes that are as interesting. KK squeals throughout the song, not as good as a rendition as some of his other recent songs. His rendition is such because of the high-pitched vocals. Alka Yagnik joins him in the middle of the song and she hits every high note with ease. Alka also renders the second version of the song with ease. KK still has trouble with the third version. The beat is fast, though not a dancing beat… and it is synthesized. The more and more amazing Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik sing “Thero Zara”. Sonu won’t disappoint you, either. His vocals are perfect, but Alka Yagnik is as good. The music is simple, a nice guitar accompanies them throughout the song. There isn’t much else to say about the music, except that it is simple and beautiful. Alka sounds like Asha Bhosle two decades ago and Sonu sounds like Mohd. Rafi. This one is definitely worth a listen! What is it with Anu Malik and synthesized beats? The next song is another Anu Malik “gem”. Sonu Nigam sings “Dil Bata Mere Dil Bata”. His vocals are good, though the music is a little bit more than annoying. And then there is an interlude with a Kareena… aka Poo-like voice saying a few select words in English. Nothing special. Preeti-Pinky and Kunal sing “Jogan Jogan”. The chorus starts with Jogan Jogan Jogan Jogan about fifty times and then continues with a song reminicent of “Tare Hain Baarati” from Virasat. Again, there is nothing special to write about. Alka Yagnik and Shaan form a duet for the next song. Shaan has seen his value rise as his demand has increased from a pop singer to a film singer. Shaan is good, but is too nasal in many parts of the song. Alka Yagnik is clear, beautiful and hits every note like only she can. This song has classical tones by an “extra” as part of the music. Somehow, this still sounds like a typical Anu Malik song. Finally we have… well I don’t really know how to classify this one. We start with Anu Malik saying “Do You Love Me” over and over again. And then Sonu starts singing in a way that only Anu Malik would allow him to. Anuradha Sriram screeches throughout the song. “Dil Vich Vich Rukda” has somewhat of a Punjabi beat, though it sounds like a Punjabi beat mixed with Anu Malik type music. Though the songs aren’t a disappointment, yet aren’t anything special to talk about, this movie may have a more positive outlook. Of course, last time Mukta Arts produced a movie under a director other than Mr. Ghai, they ran into Trimurti. Hopefully, Badhaai Ho Badhaai has a better fate. |

It’s nice to see Anil Kapoor back in a movie after a long time. His last big movie was
Pukar, a couple years ago. But this time, his cast is not
Madhuri… its Shilpa Shetty. Anu Malik
used to score the music for every other movie… oh wait… he still does that! Anu Malik signs the most films… definitely more than his close competitors, including
Nadeem Shravan, Jatin-Lalit, and AR Rahman. Although Rahman is in a class of himself, Malik has had some brilliant scores in the past couple years. He still only had one big hit in 2001 and 2000 each,
