Force Music Review
Kaakha Kaakha (the Tamil original) of which Force is a hindi remake was previously remade in Telugu (Gharshana) and Kannada (Dandam Dashagunam)
.
Kaakha Kaakhas Rammstein inspired meta-charged track Uyirin Uyirae becomes Cheliya Cheliya in Telugu which is equally frenetic, a sappy Marali Marali in Kannada, and now, Khwabon Khwabon in Force amps it back vaingloriously.
The one time that the track faltered was when Kannada music composer V Harikrishna was asked to step in for Harris Jayaraj. Marali Marali is a clumsy patch on an original Harris Jayaraj number.
First, Harris Jayaraj who? Harris Jayaraj who gave us a dew fresh Zara zara behekta hai, mehekta hai from a Bollywoodized Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein (Minnale in Tamil) after which he disappeared from the hindi film music scene, quite comfortably back to his South Indian quarters.
Is Force going to be his resurrection? Seems unlikely, and a lesson to be learnt is when you copy a song, ask its composer to re-scratch it. How else will you know that Dhinka Chika (Ready) is Ringa Ringa (Arya 2 in Tamil) re-jigged by composer Devi Sri Prasad and not popular Pritam?
If the trend of remake continues, thankfully some of our jaded music-composers will also be replaced, and that should spell a welcome change for hindi film musics changing shape pumped as it should be now with new sounds, free of dhols and woeful alaaps.
Chahoon Bhi, a duet by Bombay Jayashree and Karthik unspools laconically in lyricist Javed Akhtars verse though theres nothing striking in its imagery about unspeaking love.
Guest composer Lalit Pandits Dum Hai Toh Aaja sung by Mahua is, uhm, forced a young girls pre-pubescent revolt against maybe her own hormonal disturbance. I wont be surprised if its picturised on a petite school-girlish Genelia squeamishly challenging a beefy John Abraham to bring it on.
Main Chali takes singers Shreya Ghoshal and Naresh Iyer on a tour of varied musical forms the duet moves from ballad to hip-hop to rustic Harris' music is like a brook cascading into a waterfall gurgling into a river chasing its bends to rush to sea theres an expanse in his music that often gives rise to panoramic vistas.
The Vijay Prakash-Shalini Singh-Neha Bhasin track, Dil Ki Hai Tamanna where the protracted use of whistling-humming over singing gives the song a smooth, wistful slo-mo groove is still not enough to rescue it from ingratiating shmaltzy arrangement.
For a few weeks, well all loosen our limbs to Khwabon Khwabon in discotheques and if someone tries to inform us over the loud music system- Harris J who, thank you DJ.
A stylized thriller among the new wave of Indian films paying homage to the seminal Indian action genre, 'FORCE' combines state-of-the-art fight sequences and thrills with an original romantic narrative, delivering an abundance of on-screen energy and vigor that will have audiences gripped from the opening sequence to the end credits.
Directed by the critically acclaimed, Filmfare and National Award winning Nishikant Kamat 'FORCE' is a contemporary action romance and a Hindi reinterpretation of the Tamil blockbuster, 'Kaakha Kaakha', which achieved widespread popularity among audiences and critics alike. 'FORCE' is produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah who previously brought cinemagoers screen gems such as 'Aakhen', 'Singh is Kinng' and 'Namastey London'.
At the heart of the action-love story is a renegade cop, played by John Abraham, in relentless pursuit of a ruthless, underworld gangster. He believes that the only way to eradicate crime is to give criminals the bullet not hand cuffs. Sharing screen space with John is one of the most vivacious and exuberant talents, as Genelia D'Souza plays John's love interest. The seat-grabbing suspense is perfectly balanced with passionate romance and a melodious soundtrack, masterfully composed by one of the leading Indian music composers, Harris Jayaraj.
Yashvardhan is a hardheaded senior narcotics officer who doesn't play by the book but always ensures that justice is served. In the midst of his most dangerous and significant operation to crack down on India's drug cartels, Yashvardhan encounters a ruthless enemy who will stop at nothing until he gets his revenge for the damage done to his business by the narcotics team. He also meets the free-spirited Maya, whose love pushes him to make a choice between the life he already knows and the life he could have with her. Yashvardhan's decision to let happiness and normalcy into his life changes his life forever.
