Music Review : No One Killed Jessica

First things first Amit Trivedi is the composer of the year by a mile and his reputation expands exponentially each and every time he comes up with something new. Dev D, Udaan, Aisha and now No One Killed Jessica, that’s a line up that even the best in the industry, would be very very proud of.

The album highlights this young composer’s undeniable talent who has easily managed to etch out his own fan following in the otherwise overcrowded Indian music industry. There are 6 tracks in the soundtrack and each one has a unique flavour with eminently noticeable tunes.

The highlight of the soundtrack is Dilli Dilli, an out an out hard rock track which is bound to get noticed even if you are not into that genre of music, the songs simply mesmerizes and captures your imagination right from the first beat, the hardcore version isn’t much different from the original one and thoroughly presents a snapshot of the country’s capital city, already drawing comparisons with Rahman’s unforgettable ode to the city from Delhi 6.

'Dua' starts of a slow number but picks up tempo midway and transfers into an altogether different melody with life and soul.
Yeh Pal, is a soft soulful number with powerful lyrics which suddenly transforms into a stunning semi instrumental song which endears as it goes stronger towards the end.

Hard rock once again takes centre stage with Aitbar doing complete justice to Vishal Dadlani’s rockstar ambitions, Dadlani proves that there couldn’t have been a better choice for that number.
Aali re aali is a song with playful slang lyrics, the lyrics don’t sound that impressive initially but the catchy tune more than makes up for that.

A great album worth playing loud in continuous loop, the shelf life will perhaps be longer than the duration of Jessica Lal’s case hearing as the songs simply keep growing on you, must listen album even if you are not a complete rock buff.
