After seeing the trailers of Paathshaala, I was pretty keen on getting the music as early as possible, as I really liked the track Aye Khuda from it. The album has 5 original tracks, 1 theme and 4 remixes. The music and lyrics are given by singer-turned-composer-cum-lyricist Hanif Shaikh. The last time I heard him was in the song 'Ye Dooriyan' from Fool n' Final, which I guess not many have heard. It was a dance number, which I pretty much liked. He comes up with a brilliant soundtrack this time as a composer. The soundtrack starts off with Aye Khuda sung by Salim Merchant. This song is a pleasant number, which you'll start liking from the first time onwards. But after hearing a few times, you might not like it that much. But its still a track worthy mentioning. Then, there is a peppy number by Vishal Dadlani, called Paathshaala (Khushnuma), which is again pretty decent; Vishal is pretty much capable of carrying out these kind of tracks. Then comes Bekarar by Lucky Ali, which again is a nice track, he sings it in high scale to perfection, just like his other tracks (Ahista Ahista from BAH and Khudahafiz from Yuva). The soundtrack then goes into romantic mood with a number by Tulsi Kumar, Akansha Lama and Hanif Shaikh himself. Its a pretty good track, with nice vocals by the female leads. For some reason, Hanif Shaikh sounds a little like Himesh to me in this track. But, the voice is still not as nasal as Himesh, so its still within the listening limits (at least for me). Then, comes my favorite track from album. Its another version of Aye Khuda, called Teri Marzi, sung by Kailash Kher. It has beautiful lyrics penned by the composer himself. They go something like this:
aye khuda teri marzi ke aage kya hoga,
hai pata tu jo chahe waisa sama hoga,
teri raza tu jo chahe tapti dhoop mein,
ay khuda khilta hua gulistaan hoga!
tune banayi raahein, tune banaayi manzil,
hum le chale apna karwaan!
tehni tehni se dekhoon toota hai har patta,
bikhra hua pada hai aaj ye gulistaan,
jhilmilata yahan, muskuraata yahan,
tha khushi se kabhi ye aashiyaan!
reh-bar ho tum hamare, phir kaisa diya farmaan,
farishte bhi ruswa honge, dekh ke ye anjaam,
ye na chahe koi, ab bata de tu hi,
keh kar apna tu kyun banta anjaan!
Thanks to the vocals of Kailash Kher, the lyrics give a much deeper meaning to the track. Paathshaala Theme is pleasant and passable. Nothing extra-ordinary from the remix section, just plain up-beat and techno mixes.
Overall, Hanif Shaikh comes with a pleasant soundtrack and he's definitely a talent to watch out for, given his capability to pen down decent lyrics too. Another thing to notice is that - every track has a composer singing.
