All Ndtv news on India Movie Review Shaitan Slowly but surely Shaitan loses steam, becomes repetitive and ends in a whimper www. movies.ndtv.com

Music Directors: Prashant Pillai, Amar Mohile, Ranjit Barot, Anupam Roy and Bhayanak Maut
Singers: K.S Krishnan, Preeti P! illai, Kalloist, Farhad Bhiwandiwalla, Hitesh Modak, Prashant Pillai, Bindu Nambiar, Colin Terence, Abhishek, Shradha, Suraj Jgan, Suman Shridhar, Kirti Sagathia, Chandan Shive, Ranjit Barot and Suzanne D'Mello

Just like its promos, the music of upcoming film Shaitan is also edgy, quirky and quite away from the realms of a typical Bollywood venture. The album has been put together by four composers and a music band with a variety of singers behind the mike.

The soundtrack of the film that is about a group of five youngsters boasts of 14 tracks.

The album kickstarts with a short instrumental called Enter composed by Prashant Pillai.

Next comes in Bali-the sound of shaitan that has been doing the rounds of channels for ! some tim e now.

Composed by Pillai, most of the song's lyrics sound gibberish except a few lines here and there, but the music is cutting edge and catches the attention of the listener instantly, owing to its quirky nature.

It has been crooned by K.S Krishnan, Preeti Pillai, Kalloist, Farhad Bhiwandiwalla and Hitesh Modak.

Then there is Nasha churned out by Pillai again. The song has been inspired by the bond of friendship. It is moderately paced but orchestration is reasonably strong. A lot of experimentation with sound is witnessed in this track that has vocals by the composer himself along with Bindu Nambiar.

The song also has a rock and soul version where Pillai has been replaced by Ranjit Barot and Farhad Bhiwandiwalla for the vocals.

Josh composed by Amar Mohile and sung by colin Ter! ence, Abhishek and Shradha starts with English rap and then goes on to Hindi lyrics. The song is contemporary from the word go and has majorly used the saxophone in the composition.

Then there is Fareeda, a slow-paced, free flowing track with a slight rock feel. The music in the song is commendable and very engaging, especially the guitar lead towards the end. This has been voiced by Suraj Jagan and has been composed by Pillai.

Up next is a recreated version of Hawa hawai, a song from the 1987 film Mr. India. The original was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal and sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy.

For Shaitan it has been recreated by Mikey McCleary and has been sung in a more contemporized style by Suman Sridha! r. This version is slower in pace as compared to the original.!
O yaara with Pillai as the composer again and singers like Kirti Sagathia and Preeti Pillai, starts with a Shehnai prelude. The track has a qawalli touch along with other influences added to it. This one is slightly close to the common Bollywood sound that we know of. A nice song about love and longing.
