Luck By Chance: Music review

When Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Javed Akhtar and Farhan Akhtar come together,�a chartbuster is guaranteed. They have delivered hits like Dil Chahta Hai, Lakshya, Don – The Chase Begins Again and Rock On. So, expectations soar high�for Luck By Chance also. With added spice on account of director Zoha Akhtar, the combo�–�it was believed –�would work their magic on the audience again.

The album�comes with�seven songs. Baawre, the first number, is a meeting of�western and folk flavours, a fusion track. In Baawre, the rustic essence of a folk tune is presented with a western style. The remix of Baawre is full on tempo, the kind of music a DJ would love to play.

O Raahi Re, a vintage Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, is a slow moving number (sung by Shankar) which discusses life and its varied paths at a steady pace. As a�background number, O Raahi Re will add poignancy to the narrative.

Next in the album is Sapnon Se Bhare Naina – a background piece�that ruminates at length on the journey of the protagonist. After the pondering and questioning of Sapnon Se Bhare Naina, comes Yeh Aaj Kya Ho Gaya, a song that breezes with happiness and pleasure. The final�song�is Yeh Zindagi Bhi, which flows with the mood and flavour of the album, making no unwanted deviations or innovations.

As always, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have experimented and rendered a unique album – way ahead and miles away from the chartbusters of 2008. However, only�time will tell if this uniqueness has the potential to�rule the music zone of�mass audiences. Let's hope for the best!
