Shoot Out At Lokhandwala is one film that has arrived like a hurricane. Though the first half of 2007 was touted as a year of ''Guru'', ''Salaam E Ishq'', ''Eklavya'', ''Namastey London'', ''Ta Ra Rum Pum'' and many more biggies, the promotion and packaging of ''Shootout At Lokhandwala'' has ensured that it turns out to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest itself, film of the season.
With a power packed cast comprising of Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Viveik Oberoi, Suneil Shetty, Tusshar Kapoor and many more, this men-all film directed by Approva ''Ek Ajnabee'' Lakhia has made an instant impression. Films coming from the house of Sanjay Gupta are often known for their music. Remember recent ones like ''Kaante'', ''Musafir'' and ''Zinda''? One expects the same from this soundtrack that has Anand Raaj Anand, Strings, Mika, Biddu and Euphoria coming together.

Anand Raaj Anand decides to flex his vocal chords for his own composition ''Mere Yaar''. A blend of Rajasthani and Punjabi folk presented in a fusion of Indian and Western orchestra ensures that ''Mere Yaar'' sounds fine at least as long as it lasts.
An item number set in a dance bar, this Dev Kohli written track isn''t of the kind that would set the charts afire, nor is it yet another ''Beedi Jalaile'' for Sunidhi Chauhan or for that matter Aarti Chabaria on whom the track is picturised. At maximum, ''Mere Yaar'' would keep the racy mood of the film intact due to its fast rhythm and won''t let boredom come in, but that''s about it. One searches for a remix version of this track but there isn''t any in the album....thankfully!
Now that''s what one expected from Sanjay Gupta in the first place - a track like ''Aakhri Alvida''. After hearing it just once, one can conveniently say that the genre to which ''Aakhri Alvida'' belongs to can be created only by a Pakistani band! Strings prove once again that they are an original and in spite of numerous attempts at creating a similar feel by musicians across the World, the results have never been as exemplary.
Brilliantly written with a philosophical undertone of life and separation interspersed in so well, this rock track changes shades throughout its 5 minutes duration and flip flops its mood from soft, hard to soft again. It''s not just the beats that add on to the ''remix version'' of ''Alvida''; it is also the rendition that changes to speed on a fast track. There is a 80s feel to the added rhythm and the instrument that plays alongside the track keeps the ''Club mix'' feel intact. After ''Ye Hai Meri Kahani'' Zinda, ''Aakhri Alvida'' is yet another track that would be known for years to come.
''Ganpat'' gets into a ''Bheeku Mhatre'' Satya mode as it tells the tale of Maya Dolas played by Viveik Oberoi and his gangster friends who have ambitions to rule Mumbai. Composed, written and crooned by Mika who has Anchal as his co-singer, it is a situational track picturised on Viveik, Tusshar, Rohit, Aaditya and others.
Mika sings in a style similar to that of his own ''Ae Bhai Tune Pappi Kyon Li'' private album: Out Of Control while the composing style comes close to the kind adopted by Nitin Raikwar for numerous RGV films. And by the way, this is no compliment since the results are lukewarm here as well!
The remix version of ''Ganpat'' is interesting, though not from music but story point of view. The track is basically orchestrated to highlight the power of Maya Dolas in Mumbai and how he ''rules'' over phone and creates havoc. Those fond of underworld setting would like to give this track a hearing for a couple of times.
Anand Raaj Anand is the sole composer in the film to have two tracks to his credit. After ''Yaar Mera'' he comes with ''Unke Nashe Mein'' for which Sanjay Gupta is at the helm of penning the lyrics too. An ordinary track that neither breaks any new ground nor makes a distinct identity for itself, ''Unke Nashe Mein'' is a celebration/item number that would in all likelihood be featured on the men in the film who form the gang. Sukhwinder Singh, Mika and Anand Raaj Anand come together but can''t really make this track rise above ordinary either in its original or equally lukewarm ''Club Mix'' version.
A theme song, ''Live By The Gun'' is an out and out English track by Biddu. Sanjay Gupta needs to be patted on his back for thinking of coming up with a track like this but surprisingly the end result isn''t quite striking. Biddu does give the song a haunting feel to go with the theme and mood of the film but even though the music is set on soft tones, there isn''t much for a listener to cheer about. Though one is quite sure that the song won''t really find a place in the film, it would be interesting to see if a promotional music video for it is created soon.
Aah...thankfully a track that one can finally pick from the album of SOAL after ''Aakhri Alvida''! ''Sone De Ma'' is a kind of track that one expects from the band Euphoria. Led by Dr. Palash Sen who has also written and crooned it, it is a soothing track about the protagonist who is tired of all the running away in this mad race of crime and now finally wants to sleep tight.
Based on core Indian melody, ''Sone De Ma'' has some ear pleasing arrangements that never come in the way of sensitive lyrics and rendition and let the situation do most of the talking. Now this is one track that one can give a repeat hearing, even though it is not the kind that makes for a chartbuster score.
One still feels a sense of incompleteness though since over the years Sanjay Gupta has raised very high standards of music. And if not for ''Aakhri Alvida'' and ''Sone De Ma'', ''Shoot Out At Lokhandwala'' would have been a major disappointment.
