Music Review of "Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai ?"      TIPS Films and Allu Arvind present 'Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai' (KYPH), which is directed by K. Murli Mohan Rao. KYPH stars Amisha Patel who missed her hat-trick with the dismal response to 'Ye Zindagi Ka Safar' after her super successes 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai' and 'Gadar' - The biggest hits of 2000 and 2001 respectively. Aftab Shivdasani who also has 'Koi Mere Dil Se Pooche' and 'Pyaasa' lined up for release, plays the lead opposite her. Jackie Shroff and Anupama Verma fill in the supporting cast. By the look of the promos, KYPH seems to be an unusual love story and if one observes carefully, the logo of the movie shows a heart symbol with a cross around it instead of a conventional blooming one, as in common in the teenage love stories. Sajid Wajid get a major break as sole music directors for this TIPS movie and Jalees Rashid writes the lyrics. After the roaring response to 'Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham', Farah Khan is the Director of Choreography of KYPH as well. 'Dil Ki Nazar Mein' has a mind-blowing chorus in the start and just for this very number, one can highly recommend for KYPH. The composition is very much in the lines of the late 70's - early 80's songs sung by Kishore Kumar under Burmanda. Ajay Jhingran gives Jalees Rashid company in writing 'Dil Ki Nazar Mein' and does a good job.One just can't get bored of this wonderfully romantic number and the repeated listnings make it more and more enchanting. A very good song. Alka Yagnik sings the female version of the same number but it is Kumar Sanu's rendering of the number that haunts for long. 'Meri Tarah Tum Bhi Kabhie' is a cute romantic number with soulful lyrics and melodious music. Babul Supriyo and Alka yagnik sing this love song which is quite good to listen to. Cinematography of the song is rich and overall the song makes a very good impact. 'Pehli Pehli Baar Hai' has a trademark stamp of Sajid Wajid - Sonu Nigam combo and refers to 'Ab Mujhe Raat Din Tumhara Hi Khayaal Hai'. This melodious number has Alka Yagnik as Sonu Nigam's duet partner. 'Dil Pe Chaane Laga Hai' is of the similar style as 'Pyaar Lo Pyaar Do' from Jaanbaaz. Sunidhi Chauhan and K.K. are in their usual elements and sing at the top of their voice, hence giving the number the much needed 'dum'. Another good number. 'Aashiq Hoon' is a mix of jazz, bhangra and marathi music. It is a youthful song about a guy lost completely in love who is thinking about how to go ahead and propose to his lady love. It is a sung by Sonu Nigam and is of an average kind. 'Tujhe Dekhkar Jeeta' is another average number which has a very predictable music and lyrics. It has a few tap-dancing beats and whistling tune in between and is a 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU' kind of a song. And from Birthday wishes, it moves to 'dua maangna' for the guy getting married soon and getting successful in life!!! It has Kumar Sanu and Sonu Nigam singing the major part of the song with Alka Yagnik getting just two three lines in the middle. Sonu Nigam's 'O Mahive' has the guy craving for his love. It has a feel of a song from a private album, but effective picturization should be able to elevate it to the kind of a film song. 'Chahton Kee Duniya' ia a qawali by who else but Sabri Brothers and Iqbal-Afzal. It is a sad rendering about the lost hopes of love and denies any chances of a positive outcome after all this 'dard-e-dil' and 'gham-e-zindagi'. KYPH is a good album with lots of variety that has something for everyone. But the romantic numbers like 'Dil Ki Nazar Mein', 'Meri Tarah Tum Bhi' and 'Pehli Pehli Baar Hai' (in the same order) are the ones that keep line
