Relive the ’90s with Dum Laga Ke Haisha

Dum Laga Ke Haisha, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar releases today, and those who grew up in India in the ’90s couldn’t be happier. The reason for the celebration of music lovers is the music of this movie, which would make you relive the India of 1990s, more so because the movie is based in 1995.

What makes the music of this Yash Raj venture even more special is the fact that it marks the comeback of melody king Kumar Sanu with heart-touching and foot-tapping tracks, ‘Tu’ and ‘Dard Karaara’, respectively.

Talking of ‘Tu’, the song is bound to take you to the romantic music of Saajan, Aashiqui, Baazigar and Pardes. The use of orchestra, combined with a soothing whistle brings out the best of romantic music that people in the ’90s loved. Add to it the 90s style dance sequence in ‘Dard Karaara’ and you have the perfect album for whenever you feel nostalgic about the good old growing-up years; thanks to Kumar Sanu, Sadhna Sargam, and the music composer Anu Malik.

Other than the music, the attraction of the movie is debutante Bhumi Pednekar, who used to work as the assistant of Shanoo, the casting director of Yash Raj films. To say the least, Bhumi Pednekar doesn’t look like a conventional actress, given her plain jane looks and healthy figure. However, she proved in the trailer itself what she has it in herself that bagged her three-film deal with Yash Raj, one of the most reputed production houses in the industry.

Kumar Sanu plays an important part not only in the music but also the script of the story, given that Ayushmann Khurrana’s character is a huge Kumar Sanu fan. The singer would also be seen doing a cameo in the film.

Let’s hope that other music composers and film makers learn from the album and offer some great music and not blaring noises that is served in the name of music these days.
