The music is effective and will be completely in sync with the clouds of smoke at any of the overcrowded lounges in the city, though I highly doubt any ardent smoker will give up smoking just on hearing this song.
The lyrics mostly revolve around depicting the harmful effects of smoking and convey the message quite well, though something seems lacking there and lyrics sound a bit repetitive too at some point. Also, jazz is kinda in his blood as well since his father was trained professionally in jazz music too. Adnan is very much in his comfort zone here, since this song has stamp of jazz all over it and jazz is definitely one of the real forte of Adnan’s style of singing. The album starts off with Adnan Sami’s version of ‘Jab Bhi Ciggaret Jalti Hai, Main Jalta Hoon’. Add to that the controversial but definitely brainy subjects of Anurag Kashyap’s movies ( Gulal and Paanch never saw the light of the day and Black Friday had it’s share of controversies too, but the quality was never in doubt) and one can rest assured that this one is gonna be different in absolute terms, not different as often proclaimed by Bollywood. And I haven’t even touched the more popular ones like ‘Beedi Jalaye Le’ – a song which even Javed Akhtar, the cold war competitor of Gulzar Saab couldn’t help praising. Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzaar Saab have come together with some real gems over the last few years, be it the haunting ‘Chod Aaye Hum Woh Galiyan’ or the soothing ‘Baadlon Se Kaat Kaat Ke Kagazon Pe Naam Jodna’ or the more recent ‘Naina Thag Lenge’ from Omkara, their team has always oozed real class both in the music and specially the lyrics department. The sheer name dropping of the talent associated with this album raises the expectations sky high.
