MTV launched the theme song of Roadies 8 the other day. Titled Yahaan, the song has been written by Raghu Ram and composed by Arijit Dutta, the person who sang the previous Roadies Theme Jeet Lenge Yaar, and member of upcoming band Airport. The song also has a video featuring Raghu, Rajiv and Rannvijay. The song has a wonderful arrangement, conveying the theme of the show perfectly, that of the journey, the adventure, the youthfulness. But the vocal part, handled by Arijit himself, doesn’t seem to quite live upto the orchestration. It’s not like he doesn’t have the skill, but I found something lacking in the rendition, placing it a step below the heady arrangement. A good theme nevertheless, wonderfully picturized in some very idyllic locations. However, I get a feeling the display of daredevilry could have been toned down a bit. Roadies already has a proven track record and the trio really didn’t have to try hard to make a point imho. Nevertheless, the theme has enough ingredients to provide a good start to the Roadies campaign this year.
