After the success of Tere Naam, Salman-Bhumika-Himesh Reshmiyaa- producers Mukesh Talreja and Sunil Manchanda are back again with a brand new flick Dil ne Jise aapna Kaha(DNJAK)..Directed by atul agnihotri..it also stars priety zinta.
There is a lot of excitement when there is an album from A R Rahman?and DNJAK is no exception...
This is the first time ARR has shared an album with another music director. (Though he was a guest composer in Fiza)
In DNJAK A R Rahman has composed 3 tracks while Himesh Reshmiyaa (award winning album Tere Naam) has composed 5 tracks including an instrumental.
Is the album good? Has Rahman delivered good stuff?? Has Himesh equally contributed?? Read on?
Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa
Kamal Khan, Sujata Trivedi
Music by: AR Rahman
Lyrics by: Mehboob
Rating 5/5
The album starts of with the title track DNJAK...Sung by Sujata Tridevi and Kamal Khan..By the way who is Sujata Tridevi??? Is she the one who sang in Tehzeeb (sujata bhaatacharya)??? Confused?After listening both the voices seem to be the same?
Anyways, the Sujata has sung in an amazing manner and well supported by Kamal Khan (remember Oh o Jane jana???)?
The song starts with a beautiful flute piece by naveen followed by sujata?s voice?
There are no beats but only a bass guitar in the first half of the song ?Then the song gets momentum with nice beat and there is a wonderful piano interlude and fantastic orchestration ?The tune is simple but effective?In the later part of the song when Kamal Khan sings there is a shift to a higher octave which is good to hear.
The lyrics from Mehboob (Dhakka Laga Bhukka..lol..from Yuva) are good..
?Dil ne jise aapna kaha
Bekabar who hain waha
Janepar zamin aasman?
Jane Bahara
Kamal Khan, Sadhana Sargam
Music by: AR Rahman
Lyrics by: Mehboob
Rating 5/5
This one is an extremely beautiful song?The tune is very catchy...
The song starts with a beautiful melody then progress with fantastic beats with the lines??yu haste gathe mushkurate guzre hai jo pal aae kal bhi lautkar? simply outstanding?The interlude has also nice tune and this song should go very well with the masses?Kamal Khan has deliverd with utmost perfection and Sadhna Sargam is as usual excellent?The lyrics are wonderful by Mehboob?infact he was the one who spoiled Yuva album but thankfully elevates all the three songs in DNJAK?An instant HIT.
?Jane bahara jane tamana
Mehka diya aashiya
Aankon mein jo sapne te mere
Tumne rang diya?
Zindagi Hai Dua
Madhushree, Pamela Jain, Gayatri, Kartik, Raquib
Music by: AR Rahman
Lyrics by: Mehboob
Rating 4/5
?Zindagi hai dua
rab ki ada
kehke shukriya
jilona!!
Laye they ji kya?
Le jaoge ke bhi kya?
Kehke shukriya jilona!!?
This song requires few hearings to grow on you?
Again a simple tune..infact all the three songs composed by A R Rahman are melodious?Infact I prefer these melody to crazy songs like dol dol?
The lyrics by Mehboob are the highlight in this song and well sung by all the singers?
?rangen hai kabhi berangen hai
kabhi to haste haste aankon ko rulaye
bante hain kabhi bigadti hain
chalte chalte kuch yeh sikaye??Nice one?
Kailesh Kher of allah ke bande fame mentioned in an interview that he along with adnan sami have sung a song for DNJAK?Maybe that song should have been added?
Coming back to the album the rest of the songs composed by Himesh Reshmiyaa are very ordinary and pathetic lyric by the famous sameer?
Meri Nas Nas Mein Tum Ho
Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, Jayesh
Music by: Himesh Reshammiya
Lyrics by: Sameer
Rating 2.5/5
It seems this song will be used in climax... an average stuff by himesh infact his so called award winning album Tere Naam was the most overrated album of 2003?
Udit narayan and alka yagnik are as usual good and have sung it quite easily?
Lyrics are just about ok?no great expectations from this song?
Yeh Dil To Mila Hai
Sonu Nigam, Alka Yagnik
Music by: Himesh Reshammiya
Lyrics by: Sameer
Rating 2/5
Another melody track?after hearing rahman?s track this track won?t appeal much?
Sonu and alka do not get any scope in this song?just another song?
Lyrics and tune are decent..nothing spectacular.
Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha (Instrumental)
Music By: Himesh Reshmiyaa
Rating 3/5
This one is not a instrumental version of the title track?it has different composition by himesh?a nice melody, good job by him
Go Balle Balle
K.K., Alisha Chinoy, Jayesh
Music by: Himesh Reshammiya
Lyrics by: Sameer
Rating 3.5/5
Now a days it is must to have a Punjabi track..and himesh doesn?t disappoint?
Thumbs Up for this lovely energetic track and will appeal youngsters..
Lyrics by sameer are nothing new?infact the lyrics are remix of 2-3 popular Punjabi tracks?KK is too good and well supported by alisha and background vocals from jayesh is also worth mentioning?Sure HIT
Bindiya Chamakne Lagi
Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik
Music by: Himesh Reshammiya
Lyrics by: Sameer
Rating 4/5
This song will be the next chartbuster? a wedding dance number which will appeal to all sections of the people?udit and alka are amazing?catchy tune from himesh an instant HIT?
It seems that songs by A R Rahman are picturised on salman-bhumika and that of himesh on salman-bhumika?
On the whole an average attempt from Himesh?wish rahman could have composed more songs?
Buy this album if you are a rahman fan!!!!!
Final Rating 3.25/5
