Music review: Lupt

Album: LuptGenre: Bollywood
Replete with jump-scare moments in its trailer, 'Lupt' featuring Jaaved Jaaferi, Vijay Raaz, Karan Aanand, Meenakshi Dixit, Niki Walia and Rishab Chadha, is a supernatural-horror suspense. The soundtrack, predictably, has loud, ominous music.

For the first song in the album, the makers did not waste much time — picked an earlier hit and got it repackaged with the help of music directors Vickey and Hardik. Composers Salim-Sulaiman’s 2003 track 'Bhoot Hoon Main' (the title track of the Ram Gopal Verma’s ultimate horror-flick 'Bhoot'), that was penned by Lalit Marathe and rendered beautifully by the effervescent Sunidhi Chauhan, with able accompaniment of Vijay Prakash and Salim, has been reused in 'Lupt'. Salim-Sulaiman had also done a remix of this track 15 years ago, in the same film and 'Lupt’s' score is not much different.

Singer Aishwarya Nigam, known for his duet Munni Badnaam ('

Dabangg

', 2010) with Mamta Sharma, nails the next, 'Lupt Title Track'. Composer Siddharth Parashar and lyricist Sushant Sudhakaran highlight the sinister feel in the track.
