3 Idiots Music Review

3 Idiots. One of the most awaited movies of the year. Its music is finally out. When a team like Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Rajkumar Hirani and Amir Khan is involved we can surely expect something different as far as music is concerned. Music of 3 Idiots is composed by none other than Shantanu Moitra famous for his light, straight-from-the-heart melodious tunes. Moitra has taken heavily from Ravindra Sangeet. Anyway, moving on with the review, Lyrics of 3 idiots have been penned by Swanand Kirkire famous for his ‘Mann Ye Bawra’ lyrics. Kirkire’s writing is as fresh as morning dew and for a movie like 3 idiots the words chosen by him are very apt, young audience can connect to the songs very well.

So here we go, album has 5 original songs and 2 remixes.

1. All Izz Well – Album opens up with ‘All Izz Well’. A very energetic number sung by Sonu Nigam, Swanand Kirkire and Shaan. The whistle in the song makes it more fun to listen. Lyrics are very catchy and the song is likable upon the very first listening itself. It has a remix version also.

Jab life ho out of control honthon ko karke gol
Honthon ko karke gol seeti baja ke bol
Aal izz well
Murgi ka jaane ande ka kya hoga
Arrey life milegi ya tawe pe fry hoga
Koi na jaane apna future kya hoga
Honth guma seeti baja seeti baja ke bol bhaiya
Aal izz well
Arrey bhaiya aal izz well
Arrey chachu aal izz well
Arrey bhaiya aal izz well

2. Zoobi Doobi – A soft romantic number with a kind of liveliness that appeals to you despite the normal tune. Sonu Nigam & Shreya Ghoshal are once again great behind the mic. The only let down in this song are the average lyrics. This song also has a remix version.

Rating: 6/10

3. Behti Hawa Sa Thha Wo – Sung by Shaan and Shantanu Moitra himself, this is a situational song(sung for Amir Khan’s character Rancho). A typical soft Shaan number, surely will be liked by all. Use of flute adds feathers to the melodious tune.

Behti hawa sa thha wo

Udti patang sa thha wo

Kahan gaya use dhundo

Humko to raahein thhi chalati

Wo khud apni raah banata

Girta sambhala masti mein chalta thha wo

Humko kal ki fikar satati

Wo bas aaj ka jashan manata

Har lamhe ko khulke jeeta thha wo

Kahan se aaya thha wo

Chhuke hamare dil ko

Kahan gaya use dhundo

4. Give me some sunshine – Perhaps the best song of the album. This song has been sung by Suraj Jagan but the highlight of the song is the commentary by Sharman Joshi. A very, very fresh song. Listen to it as soon as you can for no words can describe the beauty of this masterpiece.

“Sari umra hum mar mar ke ji liye

Ek pal to ab humein jeene do

Jeene do”

Give me some sunshine

Give me some rain

Give me another chance

I wanna grow up once again

“Kandho ko kitabo ke bojh ne jhukaya

Rishwat dena to khud papa ne sikhaya :)

99% marks laoge to ghadi

Varna chhadi

Likh likh ke pada hatheli pe

Alpha beta gama ka chhala

Concentrated H2SO4 ne pura bachpan jala dala”

Bachpan to gaya

Jawani bhi gayi

Ek pal to ab humein

Jeene do jeene do..

5. Jaane Nahin Denge Tujhe – Sung by Sonu Nigam this intense song is yet another jewel of this crown. The song kind of grows on you upon many hearings. Give it 3-4 listenings at least if you don't like the song initially. I'm sure you will like it.

Do kadam ka yeh safar hai

Umra chhoti si dagar hai

Ek kadam main lakhadaya kyun

Sun li yaaron ki yeh baatein

Beetengi sab gham ki raatein

Yaaron se rutha hai saale kyun

Jaane nahin

Denge tujhe

Jaane tujhe

Denge nahin
