God Tussi Great Ho Music Review: A Rehash of Some of Your Favourite Songs

In recent times, whenever the musical duo Sajid Wajid have composed for a film starring Salman Khan, the results have been chartbusters, as witnessed with Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Partner. With this history, it is obvious that the expectations from the music of God Tussi Great Ho are immense but sadly, the listener is left quite disappointed. The main problem with the album is that all the tracks seem inspired from earlier songs and hence they all have a rehashed sound to them, completely lacking any originality. The album opens with Let's Party sung by Shaan and Sunidhi Chauhan which a very average number simply because it is a mixed inspiration of Where's The Party Tonight, It's The Time To Disco and Dil Di Nazar from Salman's own Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya. Nothing original here and hence although there isn't anything really wrong with this song, it won't engage you much either, because after all, you have already heard songs very similar much earlier. Although Sajid Wajid try to give the song an interesting disco feel, they somewhere fail to strike a chord. The next number, Tujhe Aksa Beach Ghuma Doon, which again will remind you of a couple of previous numbers, especially Mujhse Shaadi Karogi as even the visuals are similar, is the track most likely to find its way into the music charts. Sung by Wajid and Amrita Kak with lyrics like "Adnan se lift kara doon, aa chalti kya" and "Chacha ki chai pihla doon, aa chalti kya" this one will find an instant liking with Salman fans. It's a fun number synonymous with Salman's persona in comedy films. God Tussi Great Ho, the title track, is almost a contemporary jugalbandi type of number similar to the Bachchan Salman number in Baghbaan. It's surprising to imagine that the singing combination of Shankar Mahadevan and Sonu Nigam can actually disappoint, but then again they really cannot be blamed for the weak overall composition. However, we only hope that the manner in which this song has been filmed takes it to a completely level making it a surprise hit. After hearing Tumko Dekha, we feel that Neeraj Shridhar works best in his famous pacy numbers and not a romantic song like this. Neeraj and Shreya truly try hard but even they can't save this one. The composition, lyrics and the song overall is very mediocre at best and although we expected at least one good romantic number for Salman and Priyanka, we are left disappointed with this one. Have you heard Lal Duptta Udd Gaya from Mujhse Shaadi Karogi? Well then you may mistake Lal Chunariya sung by Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik for the same song, especially when you see the very similar visuals. But Lal Duptta was definitely a much better song and again just like most of the other songs, although there is nothing really wrong with Lal Chunariya, there isn't anything original and noteworthy either. It's one of the songs that you won't hate but you won't remember either. The album also has remix versions of Tujhe Aksa Beach Ghuma Doon, Let's Party, and the title track, all remixed by DJ Amyth which just like the original songs, are average works, again nothing great. Overall, maybe it is because the expectations from this album were a bit high, but in the end we found all the songs to be at best average wherein none were original in composition, lyrics or mood. Even die hard Salman fans will feel let down by this one.
