"Aaj Ki Raat" - DON

Picture these lyrics
"Shaam Hai, Jaam Hai, Aur Hai Nasha..... Tan Bhi Hai, Mann Bhi Hai, Pighlta Hua"
(Its evening with a drink and fun... Both body and heart are melting down)

"Aaj Ki Raat...Hona Hai Kya....Paana Hai Kya....Khona Hai Kya..."
(Tonight, whats going to happen, whats to loose, whats to gain)

Well nothing great in these wordings but when you start hearing the song, you get a very sensual feeling. The song starts with very 70s retro n modern beats and maintains the tempo throughout. One always thought that Alisha Chinoy was the best singer for these kind of songs , which is true here as well; but the real surprise comes from Mahalakshmi. You haven't heard anything lke this before from her. And this girl doesn't disappoint a bit. If Alisha is sensual, then Mahalakshmi is sedate. Sonu Nigam joins later and fits in well.

Don't be surprised if the retro lounge number with brass walls, techno effects, lots of ambience sounds and a catchy chorus line reminds you of "Raat Baaki Baat Baaki". Its a haunting and goose-pimple evoking song. One of the best compositions to come from Music trio SEL, this is definitely a number to look out for this year. I can't wait to see some hot-n-happening choreography on the screen when Kareena (or would it be Isha) and Priyanka burn the floor on fire.

Well , then am I saying that is the best thing about the music of DON? Hell, YES!!! Yes with a capital Y. Go for the album just for this foot tapping number.
