Comments [ 0 ] By Gurprit K. | 25 July 2014 | 4:07pm

The Dabangg Khan makes his appearance on the big screens for the second time in 2014, and this time under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment with the much awaited film, Kick. For the first time, Salman Khan pairs up with sultry Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandes in Sajid Nadiadwala's upcoming action thriller. Despite being a remake of the popular Telugu version of the same name, Kick's screenplay has been written by Nadiadwala and famous author Chetan Bhagat. Randeep Hooda and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are also said to play pivotal roles in this flick.

The music album was released in early July and comprised of mainly four tracks, three of which have various versions to it. The music is composed by the talented Himesh

Reshammiya and Meet Bros Anjjan. Interestingly, Khan is another actor who has taken up singing as a serious side profession as he sung a majority of the songs in this album. BollyCurry has taken the initiative to give the album a listen so sit back and read on to see our thoughts.

Opening with the much hyped "Jumme Ki Raat", Himesh Reshamiyya and Palak Muchhal's powerful vocals carried the song to another level; as did Salman Khan's. This track has four versions to it - "Jumme Ki Raat", "Jumme Ki Raat - 1", "Jumme Ki Raat, Part 1 (Remix)" and "Jumme Ki Raat, Part 2 (Remix)". In essence, they are all similar with some extra instrumentals here and there and an upbeat tempo. However, one can settle on the original as it is bubbly and perfect for the dance floor.

Next up, Salman Khan teams up with the gifted Shreya Ghoshal and Meet Bros Anjjan to vocalize "Hangover". This exhilarating track encompasses three versions - "Hangover", "Hangover (MBA Swag)" and "Hangover (Remix)". With its fair share of instrumentals and a rather high pitch, these are great foot tapping and head bobbing numbers.

The soft and melodious "Tu Hi Tu" graces the list next as Mohammed Irfan, Neeti Mohan and Salman Khan do wonders with their respective versions of the song. Five versions are available - "Tu Hi Tu, Part 1", "Tu Hi Tu (Reprise), "Tu Hi Tu, Part 2", "Tu Hi Tu (House Mix) and "Tu Hi Tu, Part 2 (Remix)". The smoothness that drones on is easy to groove to and easily makes this a good romantic track.

"Yaar Naa Miley", sung by Yo Yo Honey Singh and Jasmine Sandlas, is another up tempo track in this album. Utilizing the trend of talking some lyrics, this track has a single version but is not entirely different from the other hyped songs of the album. With simple instrumentals backing the vocals, the track is quite impressive. The track is dubbed to be the "Devil" song of the album (Owing to Khan's character's name).

Concluding with the collaboration of Meet Bros Anjjan and Salman Khan is the freshly released "Hai Yehi Zindagi". A violin dominated track that is both peppy and soothing to the ears. Quite a rare combination, but this is effortlessly pulled together by the talented music composing duo.

The music ceases to amaze after all the excitement and can be rated as average, at best. BollyCurry wishes Khan and his entire team immense success critically and commercially. With that, we've come to the end of this review; be sure to let us know your thoughts below.
