3 Idiots. One of the most awaited movies of the year. Its music is finally out. When a team like Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Rajkumar Hirani and Amir Khan is involved we can surely expect something different as far as music is concerned. Music of 3 Idiots is composed by none other than Shantanu Moitra famous for his light, straight-from-the-heart melodious tunes. Moitra has taken heavily from Ravindra Sangeet. Anyway, moving on with the review, Lyrics of 3 idiots have been penned by Swanand Kirkire famous for his ‘Mann Ye Bawra’ lyrics. Kirkire’s writing is as fresh as morning dew and for a movie like 3 idiots the words chosen by him are very apt, young audience can connect to the songs very well.
So here we go, album has 5 original songs and 2 remixes.
1. All Izz Well – Album opens up with ‘All Izz Well’. A very energetic number sung by Sonu Nigam, Swanand Kirkire and Shaan. The whistle in the song makes it more fun to listen. Lyrics are very catchy and the song is likable upon the very first listening itself. It has a remix version also.
Jab life ho out of control honthon ko karke gol
Honthon ko karke gol seeti baja ke bol
Aal izz well
Murgi ka jaane ande ka kya hoga
Arrey life milegi ya tawe pe fry hoga
Koi na jaane apna future kya hoga
Honth guma seeti baja seeti baja ke bol bhaiya
Aal izz well
Arrey bhaiya aal izz well
Arrey chachu aal izz well
Arrey bhaiya aal izz well

2. Zoobi Doobi – A soft romantic number with a kind of liveliness that appeals to you despite the normal tune. Sonu Nigam & Shreya Ghoshal are once again great behind the mic. The only let down in this song are the average lyrics. This song also has a remix version.
Rating: 6/10
3. Behti Hawa Sa Thha Wo – Sung by Shaan and Shantanu Moitra himself, this is a situational song(sung for Amir Khan’s character Rancho). A typical soft Shaan number, surely will be liked by all. Use of flute adds feathers to the melodious tune.
Behti hawa sa thha wo
Udti patang sa thha wo
Kahan gaya use dhundo
Humko to raahein thhi chalati
Wo khud apni raah banata
Girta sambhala masti mein chalta thha wo
Humko kal ki fikar satati
Wo bas aaj ka jashan manata
Har lamhe ko khulke jeeta thha wo
Kahan se aaya thha wo
Chhuke hamare dil ko
Kahan gaya use dhundo

4. Give me some sunshine – Perhaps the best song of the album. This song has been sung by Suraj Jagan but the highlight of the song is the commentary by Sharman Joshi. A very, very fresh song. Listen to it as soon as you can for no words can describe the beauty of this masterpiece.
“Sari umra hum mar mar ke ji liye
Ek pal to ab humein jeene do
Jeene do”
Give me some sunshine
Give me some rain
Give me another chance
I wanna grow up once again
“Kandho ko kitabo ke bojh ne jhukaya
Rishwat dena to khud papa ne sikhaya :)
99% marks laoge to ghadi
Varna chhadi
Likh likh ke pada hatheli pe
Alpha beta gama ka chhala
Concentrated H2SO4 ne pura bachpan jala dala”
Bachpan to gaya
Jawani bhi gayi
Ek pal to ab humein
Jeene do jeene do..

5. Jaane Nahin Denge Tujhe – Sung by Sonu Nigam this intense song is yet another jewel of this crown. The song kind of grows on you upon many hearings. Give it 3-4 listenings at least if you don't like the song initially. I'm sure you will like it.
Do kadam ka yeh safar hai
Umra chhoti si dagar hai
Ek kadam main lakhadaya kyun
Sun li yaaron ki yeh baatein
Beetengi sab gham ki raatein
Yaaron se rutha hai saale kyun
Jaane nahin
Denge tujhe
Jaane tujhe
Denge nahin

Final verdict, an album you cannot miss. Go for it definitely.
