F.A.L.T.U by Sachin - Jigar with some exciting numbers seems to catch the attention of the music world.

The album starts with a typical Atif song, Leja tu mujhe. While the song is not unique it is quite a foot tapping number.  'Char Baj Gaye, Party Abhi Baaki Hai'  is already getting a lot of attention.  The contemporary lyrics makes it a very youthful number.  'Char Baj Gaye' is a Hard Kaur solo with a very good support from the backup vocalists who never let the fun element to go away. A dance floor number, 'Char Baj Gaye' is an very catchy which is all set to be one of the top playing numbers in the discotheques and the clubs. Foot tapping to the core, 'Char Baj Gaye' is an energetic number that is for the urban audience. 


Next we have a love song, 'Rab Sab Se Sona' is set in the same mode as 'Chor Bazaari' [Love Aaj Kal]. Neeraj Sridhar’s melodious voice supported  lovely vocals by Apeksha Dandekar, 'Rab Sab Se' has potential to be a hit.  

The next song, awaaz, is sung by one of the composer duo, Jigar. And while the lyrics of the album seem to stand out from the first two lines, very soon one may find similarities to A R Rahman and Sohail Sen’s patriotic compositions (latter from KHJJS).  Yet it does have its own individual stamp.

After Awaaz t is back to 'masti' and 'dhamaal' with the title song 'Fully Faltu'   Mika is the man entrusted to do the job and he brings in the kind of energy which was much required for a song belonging to this genre. Though presented with Western arrangements to it, 'Fully Faltu' has an Indian mood to it at the core of it and should be quite a delight when seen on screen.  

Vijay Prakash and Priya Panchal come next with Gale laga le, another compositions with slight Rahman effects.   Nayee Subah is sung again by Jigar.

This is followed by 'O Teri' which appears to be a jamming session amongst the students where they are trying to pull each other's leg.   This one is more of a conversation rather than a song per se and though it may just about manage to be fun on screen, audibly it is difficult to hear it more than a couple of times. 

 â€¨â€¨'Percentage' a rock track about youngsters who have just come across their results, this Neuman Pinto sung number is totally situational and belongs to the kind which may just about manage to make an impact due to visual presentation but that's about it. 



The album takes a turn for the better with the arrival of the most experienced of them all, Neeraj Sridhar. He goes solo for the jamming track 'Beh Chala' which has an out and out Western influence to it, as evidenced in many a campus entertainers coming from the house of West.

Of course this one too is a situational track, just like a couple of songs preceding it, but thankfully is a better hear than them. 

Also, fortunately for the album, the ending is on a  high with  'Bhoot Aaya'  . Lehmber Hussainnpuri goes all out to make this song so very memorable with the way he goes about rendering this. Also, full credit to lyricist Sameer who goes into the psyche of youngsters and spins the kind of words that manage to make an instant connect. Add to that some new age sound by Sachin-Jigar and the job is done for 'Bhoot Aaya' to be a potential hit as well.

Overall worth listening to..
