Music duo Vishal-Shekhar makes another spicy musical presentation after their average show in 'Golmaal' and 'I See You'. Experienced lyricist Javed Akhtar shows his panache once again in this bunch of lively entertaining musical show. The seven entertaining musical soundtracks of 'Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd' can be heard on T-Series music cassettes and CD's.
Sajanji Vari: Its hip-shaking dancing passions on floors as the mood gets eclectic through chirpy and vivacious thump of Sunidhi Chauhan in "Sajanji Vari". Vishal-Shekhar churns out catchy beats and rhythms to give it an infectious musical bang that stays on in the mind. The funky beats from keyboard mixed with rumbustious drumming and synchronized percussions give it a thrashing effect. Sunidhi prefers to be loud and vociferous in folk style singing with brief backup vocals of Shekhar Ravijani, making it perfect for dancing floors. The promotional featuring of this song has already created a lot of buzz for the film and it is believed that the number will be getting to charts in coming days.
Jaana Hai Woh Yahaan: Soft n shimmering passions of innocent love gets the impressive voice makeover of Shreya Ghoshal and Shaan in melodious soundtrack "Jaana Hai Who Yahaan". In spite of it, the music duo tries to refurbish their repetitive soft melodious tones still mesmerizing the nostalgic moments to grip listeners. Shreya Ghoshal's mellifluously displayed vocal display carries the romantic flavors followed by impressive Shaan's singing in tandem with rhythmic beats making it perceptible to ears.
Albela Albela: Vishal-Shekhar's punches with "party feel" in highly pulsating and foot-tapping musical outburst in stylishly conceived peppy soundtrack "Albela Albela". Shanker Mahadevan (of Shankar Ehsaan Loy fame) is complete "rock-star" with his loud and boisterous vocal rendition in displaying the energetic youthful enthusiastic feel. It has the contemporary urban feel with excessive English, making its sharp presence in jarring back up vocal mode. The soundtrack has the situational ambience but works well for multiplex audiences and should work positively for film prospects. Earlier, it was Vishal Dadlani (of Vishal-Shekhar fame) making appearance as guest singer in Pritam's composed "Dhoom Again" ('Dhoom 2') and now its Shankar Mahadevan at his vocal best in "Albela Albela". It shows the growing alliance in musical fraternity with promising results.
Pyar Ki Ek Kahani: The dramatic musical presentation of everlasting love story makes its stylish presence through synchronized "tango" dancing moves in the soundtrack "Pyar Ki Ek Kahani". The soundtrack adds one musical format to the marquee and this will positively make its mark in dance shows and competitions. Feminine vocal grace of Sunidhi Chauhan and Gyatri Iyer shows its vocal cheerfulness through modulating tonal textures filled with chorus male vocals in the back drop. Vishal-Shekhar delivers a "choreographer" choice musical soundtrack that will testify actors' (Abhay Deol and Minnisha Lamba) dancing skills on the floors. If the number proves its gloss and grace on screen then it will definitely be a deserving hit otherwise it will make itself to the choices of participants in dance shows.
Halke Halke: Soft guitar strumming makes soft n silent romantic vibes as Neeraj Shridhar makes impressive vocal moves in the soundtrack "Halke Halke". Javed Akhtar's lyrics are praiseworthy for being idealistic and poetic in depicting the inhibited passions of a lover. It brings out memories of recently heard "Kabul Fiza" ('Kabul Express') and Vishal-Shekhar's peculiar style that proved wonders in their breakthrough film album 'Jhankaar Beats'. Neeraj Shridhar is getting impressive with groovy musical works as his last presentation "Baat Pakki" ('Just Married') proved worthy and delighted music lovers. Even Vishal-Shekhar feels special about the track as they revamp it with style in the only remix soundtrack of the album.
"Halke Halke (remix)" sounds peppy and infectious for its accelerated tempo and energetic disco beat thump. It marks its special presence as being the only remix musical work in the album and surely it's going to work well for DJ's on dance floors.
Hath Dhore Niye Chalo: The frolicking musical pace gels well with funky instrumental work by "Funcinternational" in the soundtrack "Hath Dhore Niye Chalo". This five-minute plus song works on one line "Hath Dhore Niye Chalo" sung in Bengali with racy beats. It brings out the Goan ambience to a large extent and works better as background score for the film than as dancing number for it.
Vishal-Shekhar delivers another above average musical show where the album's prospects shoulder on film's box office results. The soundtracks "Sajanji Vari" and "Halke Halke" have catchy beats while "Jaane Hai Woh Kahaan" and "Pyar Ki Ek Kahani" are soothing to ears. 'Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd' will no be as popular or successful as 'Don-the chase begins', 'Lakshya' or 'Dil Chahta Hai' (Excels Movies' earlier presentations) but will be an average grosser for the producers.
