Recently I heard the songs of the movie “Ankahee” starring Aftab Shivdasani, Amisha Patel and Esha Deol… The songs of the movie are composed by Pritam (The same guy who composed the hit album “GANGSTER”). I was astonished that why it didnt became a Musical HIT. Though the film is Big flop, but seeing the film only in the music point of view….It is a Hit romantic pack.
In Bollywood, there are many such hidden gems which are left just because of Poor storyline, Star Cast or may be due to other reasons. Now-a-days I have stopped seeing the films from CINEMA point of view….That is whether the film has a good storyline, or it is just OK and “How can this happen?”,”What a bogus?” kind of questions.
This one is for sure a good album to listen to. All the songs are soft romantic songs with the magic created by KK,Kunal, Shreya, Sonu,Babul supriyo and Shaan. So I decided to write my little review about the songs though it’s too late.Instead change the word Music review as my opinions about the album.
To listen to this Ankahee songs online I have given the direct links of both Raaga.com and Musicindiaonline.com links.

This album is different experiment from Pritam. I think its more like POP album (where you are free to do what you want to and dont fear of the end result, whether public will like it or not) rather than a Commercial Movie album. I am saying so because Pritam has implemented a new idea which some may not like. That is using different singers for the same song, that is Tune. Some may not like this as it may seem to them that the songs are repititive/lack of unique song numbers in the album. The songs which are done like this are Ek pal ke liye and Ankahee.
I always think when I am listening to a song, that if this song is sung by someone other, then how it would be. This album makes my that “THOUGHT COME TRUE”. No requirement to even think. Pritam has done that for me, that too from all of my favourite singers.
The first song is Ek Pal ke liye… sung by KK and as usual he has done his best to create his magic. While listening to the song I was thinking if Sonu Nigam has sung the same song (Since he also has that softness in his voice like KK to sing Romantic songs like this one) and aayla… He too has sung the same song but with a variation in tempo and music. It’s not over.. Shreya has also sung the same song to my surprise… Among the three I think KK’s version is best if I have to choose the right singer who perfectly suits to this song.
Next one is my favourite song… Aa Paas aa by Shreya. This has got to my Top Favourite list of Shreya other than Jaadu hai Nasha hai, Dheere Jalna, Silsila yeh chahat ka. Her soft voice again takes you in to another world. If you are a fan of Shreya like me then this is a must listen song.
The usage of Guitar and Kunal’s magical voice makes Tumse Yun milenge again a favourite. Lamha song is very much similar to Tumse yun milenge sung by Babul Supriyo. Ankahee song is also in two versions- Kunal and Shaan.
Pritam has used almost all YOUNG singers who are perfectly suited for romantic songs in this album. Kudos to Pritam. I am liking his songs…. Gangster, Ankahee…
Rating : 4.5/5
0.5 less from 5 because I needed some more romantic songs from the film… Only 3-4 unique tunes (which are great) are there.
.. I added few wordings which came in mind on seeing those pictures:
