The video song titled Gerua from the
much awaited Bollywood movie Dilwale was released this week. The video has
already garnered a huge amount of views on YouTube. I have tried to present why
the song works and where it fails.
This is a romantic song from the movie featuring the King of Romance, Shah Rukh Khan and his best onscreen pair, Kajol. The music by Pritam is good and great at some places, but not as good as some of the previous romantic songs like 'Suraj Hua Madham'. The music however let down by average lyrics from Amitabh Bhattacharya. If the lyrics had been better, it could have complemented the good music to make the final product great.
Even with average lyrics, the voice of Arijit Singh and Antara Mitra give a soul to the song. However one does feel that Arijit Singh does not do total justice to the song. He could certainly have been better.
Now coming to best part of the video song. The song has been picturised at exotic locations with the visuals hein great in each frame. The visuals are so good that you can pick up any frame and make an amazing wallpaper out of it. The pair of Shah Rukh and Kajol complement the visuals beautifully and make the visuals look even better. Their chemistry is still amazing after first acting together more than 20 years ago in Baazigar. However it is not their best. The top 2 in this category certainly go to 'Tujhe Dekha To Ye Jaana Sanam' and 'Suraj Hua Madham'.
Overall the song and video together is a good watch and if you are a fan of Shah Rukh and Kajol, then you can watch the video song multiple times on repeat mode.
