\'Aala Barfi\' and \'Kya karoon\' are good songs but 'Kyun' has a soothing effect, a rare virtue for today's songs.

Pritam has this ability of catching the right note of a singer’s voice. Remember the song ‘Mummy ko nahi hai pata’ from the film ‘Chocolate’. Though the film remained in oblivion, the song showcased the range of Sunidhi Chauhan’s voice. Sunidhi has lent her voice to many item numbers but very few of them actually used her to the fullest, most of the times she is asked to reach her highest possible pitch. Pritam judiciously blended her energy with the right kind of expressions.

Recently released ‘Cocktail’ was another feather in Pritam’s cap. Fun was amalgamated with the philosophical approach of the lyricist in ‘Tumhi ho bandhu’.

‘Aala Barfi’ and ‘Main kya karoon’ are also good songs but ‘Kyun’ has a soothing effect, a rare virtue for today’s songs. At a time, when every composer is focusing on groovy numbers, filmmaker Anurag Basu and Pritam should be credited for creating such a lovely song.

Even filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is in awe of Pritam’s music in ‘Barfi’, he tweets, “With Barfi Pritam has reinvented himself. Wow soundtrack.”

Till the time, plagiarism charges get confirmed, keep listening to the genuinely heart wrenching ‘Kyun’.
