Boney Kapoor’s new offereing, No Entry starring Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan, Bipasha Basu, Fardeen Khan, Lara Dutta, Esha Deol and Celina Jaitley has been nearly two years in the making. Despite the star cast the film has not received much publicity. Anu Malik’s music, while not stellar is likeable and promises to facilitate a few good moves on the dance floor.

With stars like Bipasha Basu , Lara Dutta and Salman Khan  ever-ready to take his shirt off one expects some hot and sizzling numbers and the music tracks seem to be designed to fit such scenes. Malik has assembled some of the best voices in the playback singing duniya and they carry the album on their shoulders.

The album opens with an amusing number – the title track , “No Entry” where the versatile Sonu Nigam and  Alisha Chinoy team up to produce a snazzy and upbeat track. It promises to be a hit on the dance floor and the music makes good use of the special singing style of Alisha and Sonu..

It seems like in the new century a track without English titled song just won’t sell and this album also includes a song titled song “Just Love Me”. The lyrics are absolutely idiotic (seems like a theme in the album) but Sonu Nigam carries the song with his amazing talent.

My all time favorite young singer Sunidhi Chauhan partners with K.K to create a spicy number Ishq Mein. The tune is nothing out of the ordinary and fails to catch one’s attention. Alisha follows with “Why Why”. Her voice is perfectly suited to the seductive tone of the song and it does hold some promise.

The track gets “hotter” with “We are Hot Hot Very Hot” with Sunidhi Chauhan, Alisha Chenoy and Vasundra Das coming together to provide the vocals. I am still trying to make sense out of  “kaliyug ki laila hai hum , Kyon humko aye sharam” !!!! But hey it is “Hot Hot” so who cares???

The stars of playback singing Kumar Sanu and Udit Narayan come together for “Kahan Ho Tum”. Once would expect great things in a song featuring such giants, but it is an extremely average number. Anu Malik certainly missed the boat on exploiting the talent of this duo. The next track does slightly better. “Dil Pagal Hai” brings Kumar Sanu, Kay Kay and Alka Yagnik together but it is a routine number which hardly creates any impact.

The last track has a nice beat to it and Alisha Chinoy and Sunidhi Chauhan do produce something that could potentially hit the Bollywood charts albeit for a brief moment. The singers are fabulous and the No Entry is likeable because of their talent.  The peppy beat will appeal to the youngsters on the dance floor but on the whole the album will not live long in the memory of the listeners!
