EXCLUSIVE: Jodi Breakers Music Review

First things first – last year the unexpected success of Tanu Weds Manu and the year prior, an unprecedented hit from the Yash Raj stable Band Baaja Baaraat spawned a mad rush of spin-offs.

If you look closely – Bittoo Boss has modeled itself on BBB’s loutish character of Ranveer Singh and Jodi Breakers takes a leaf from TWM – from poster design to Madhavan’s presence as lead – cannot entirely be incidental, him greenlighting a project on a similar theme of marriage. Though the makers promise a very hatke film, soon we’ll find out how Jodi Breakers borrows from our Hollywood bhai log. That’s in other news.
The music, composer Salim Merchant singing the opening track Kunwara, has us so ingrained in our memory as his voice for Ranveer Singh crooning Jigar Ka Tukda (Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl) that we can’t tell which one is better? Ek toh Salim’s unique talent for singing through his nose, and then all this Kunwara binness sounding so baasi – just look at the video picturisation – a roly poly Madhavan cavorting with semi nude firang chicks dressed in soap suds – really now, it can make anyone lose their shirt, barring Maddy

Could it get any worse after Kunwara? Bipasha Basu arrives with the eponymous song Bipasha – designed to raise a torch to her mirage like form – a bewitching beauty so far hidden from our lusty middle-east, slo-mo gaze. Which brings me to wonder if Kareena’s Bebo Main Bebo (Kambakht Ishq) actually had some spunk, or atleast it was a harebrained ditty to shake your ponytail to? Shradha Pandit sings, ‘I’m not so easy, I’m not so easy, you can never ever get Bi-pa-sha.’ We tried.
