Music Review | Commando 2 | Gourov–Roshin, Mannan Shaah

Do you remember the prequel of this movie? What do you remember from the first part? All I remember is Vidyut Jamwal squeezing himself from a window of a car in an action scene. Does that make me skeptical about the music album of this sequel movie? I don't know, we'll know at the end of this review.

Album Release Date: 13th February 2017

(Click on the song title to listen to it on Saavn)

Hare Krishna Hare Ram
Music Composer: Gourov-Roshin
Singers: Armaan Malik, Ritika, Raftaar
Lyrics: Kumaar
See, Raftaar blends rap with the song so seamlessly unlike Badshah. Yeah, I know this is a recycled song but truth be told, it is catchy. What's the catchy part you may ask. "Hare Ram Hare Ram Hare Krishna Hare Ram". The recycled part is the only catchy part. In case you are still wondering, this is a recycled version of Bhool Bhulaiya Title Track.

Tere Dil Mein
Music Composer: Mannan Shaah
Singers: Armaan Malik
Lyrics: Aatish Kapadia
Armaan Malik begins his 2017 with a mesmerizing song (surprisingly something different). The song says - it doesn't matter what you think about me, just let out what your heart is saying. I don't know if it's just me or happens with everybody, but when a singer hits that high notes perfectly, it just transcends my mind.

Seedha Saadha
Music Composer: Mannan Shaah
Singers: Amit Mishra
Lyrics: Kumaar
And who better to continue on those high notes than last year's Bulleya singer Amit Mishra. I agree, he might get typecasted into such songs. But I cannot deny that this song is echoing my ears even now as I write this.

Commando (Title Track)
Music Composer: Mannan Shaah
Singers: Aditi Singh Sharma
Lyrics: Kumaar
It's ok you can skip this one. Another title song after Raees that just repeats the song name in the chorus. There is a music portion between verses that has uncanny resemblance to We like to Party! (The Vengabus) by Vengaboys

Tere Dil Mein (Club Mix)
Music Composer: Mannan Shaah
Singers: Armaan Malik
Lyrics: Aatish Kapadia
A nice electronic dance version of the original but sadly very forgettable. You'll listen to it in the club and wouldn't even notice after it's over.

Seedha Saadha (Reprise Version)
Music Composer: Mannan Shaah
Singers: Jubin Nautiyal
Lyrics: Kumaar
If the original version was for high notes, this one is for low notes. I would've liked it if it was a little slower. Jubin tried to hit those high notes like Amit Mishra but failed disastrously, like literally burnt my ears.

Commando (English Version)
Music Composer: Mannan Shaah
Singers: Aditi Singh Sharma
Lyrics: Kumaar
This is at least bearable. Everything is in English so there's consistency in that. And yeah, We like to Party! (The Vengabus) by Vengaboys is still very much there.

As I've always said, with action movies the focus has never been on music. What I feel is that action movies should have a good background score instead of flimsy songs. Nonetheless, here are my favourites from the album:
Tere Dil Mein
Seedha Saadha

That is all I have for this album. I hope you found this review useful. If you did then feel free to share it. Let me know you favourite song of the album in the comments below. Until then, Ciao...!
