Review:-
1}Kaahe Ujadi mori neend:--Ustad Rashid Khan[Rating:-1/2] Time:4.42
Music By:-Ismail
Raga:-Purwa Kalyani[Combination of Puriya+Puriya Dhanashri Raga]
Time:-This Raga is often sung in evening.Dont be surprised if you see the picturization of this song is done in the evening.
Orchestration:-Full length composition of this song is done by using symphony arrangements[Sonata consisting of four movements].So orchestration is divided in four parts.If u listen carefully u will notice that first part of orchestration is fast, second is slow, third is moderately flowing & the fourth & the final part is very fast paced.
Singer:-Ustad Rashid Khan.
Excellent performance by him.Simply Outstanding.He has explored all the expressions in the Raga immaculately.
Genre:-This song can be termed as semi-classical fusion since the orchestration is pure western based & lacks the depth touch of indian instruments like sitar, tabla, venna, sarangi..
Overall:-Excellent track with outstanding singing by Ustad Rashid Khan.
2}Hum Hain is pal:-Udit & Madhushree[Rating:-] Time:-7.05
Music By:-ARR
Due to his international commitments, Rahman was able to compose only two songs for this album & has indeed come out with another gem.
Orchestration:-When it comes to orchestration it is impossible to beat Rehman.This song has top quality orchestration.Heartbeats, flute interludes, various forest sounds justify the fact that Rehman not only concentrates on melody but is also very keen/nitpicking when it comes to the background score.Orchestration of this song just sways with the beautiful melodious tune.
Singers:-This is very simple tune & both the singers have sung it without any flaw.As Udit usually concentrates more on the expressions behind the words, the beauty of the song heightens with each passing second..
3}My wish comes true:-Sunita Sarathy[Rating:-1/2] Time:-5.49
Music By:-ARR
What is so special about this song?..Not only you can hum the basic tune but also the tunes played in the background.Wow!!.Yes, you can hum the flute tune played by naveen in the backgroud with your lips closed.Typical Rehman song for International audience.Singing by sunita.Job well done lady.Lyrics are too short.Overall very catchy & melodious tune.
4}Woh din aa gaya:-Alka yagnik, Sukhwinder & Chorus[Rating:-**1/2] 6.44
Music By:-Ismail
The same flute tune used in the above song is used here again at the starting & just a minute before the track ends.But the song doesn’t sound like the flute tune.It has completely different tune.The song doesn’t offer anything different.Normal octopad & drum loop beats are used to serve as rhythm accompaniment...Singing by Alka is good...no scope for her to show the talent....Sukhwinder is strictly ok..Not that catchy tune...
5}Aham Brahmasmi:-Sukhwinder[Rating-1/2] Time:-5.49
Music By:-Ismail
Orchestration:-Good orchestration without use of any real instruments.Loop beats or a simple drum beat track is used which keeps itself repeating all along the whole song....just one indian instrument ’taal’ is used, all other stuff is western...Tabla or mridunga could have done more justice to this very good song....
Lyrics:-Lyrics by Javed Akhtar are excellent...’’Mujhame shiv hai, mujahme bramha, mujhme vishnu, mujhme krishna....Phir main kaanhe mandir jaoon?’’...suits to this contemporary song very well.....
6}Ga Tu Aisi:-Ismail, Ayesha, Salamat, Kailash Kher.[Rating:-**1/2] Time:4.39
Music By:-Ismail
You all must have watched serials on epics like Ramayan, Mahabharat, Krishna..Those serials had few folk songs & this song reminds you all the same about those songs ....nothing extraordinary at all...strictly a passable track...outdated track...only good thing is percussion..Instruments used sounds real since rhythm changes according to situation & words.....
Singers:-Ismail sounds mellifluous just for a minute..otherwise he too fails to catch the attention of the listener..Kailash, Salamat don’t have much scope to show their talent.This may lead you to skip this track..Ending of the track is poor to be precise.....
7}Tu Itni Pagali Kyon Hai:-Udit, Alka[Rating:-] Time:-4.46
Music By:-Ismail
Orchestration:-You will not be able to remember orchestration of this song.Some indian & western synthesized instrumnets used fail to drag your attention...
Singers:- This is catchy tune....It sounds like ordinary bollywood movie tune...Allaps by Ismail are ok....Chorus just keeps singing the words ’Dane Uper Dana’ which sounds quite outdated...Udit & Alka have sung this song easily..They could have easily sung this song in sleepwalk..
8}Chilman Uthegi:-Hariharan, Sushmita Sen, Alka, Ayesha, Kher, Shailaja
[Rating:-1/2] 8.40
Music By:-Ismail
Orchestration:-The good part of this song is its orchestration.It sways with the song & is quite pleasant.Santoor, Harmonium, Sarangi, tabla are some of the indian instruments used for this song.This is again a Raga based song ...
singer:-Song starts with Sushmita’s dialogue, ’’Jumman Miya..Wo mehfil hi kaisi jahan dilwalon ke saath diljale na hon...’’...Then Hariharan starts the song slowly...But he has sung average..Chorus used sounds same as Devdas Chorus..& ending of the song is just similar to a song ’Chalak Chalak’ from devdas..Too heavy orchestration at the end may lead you to press the forward button...
9}Woh Kisna Hai:-Sukhwinder, Ismail, Aayesha, Shailaja, Vivek[Rating:-]
Time 5.52
Music By:-Ismail
Orchestration:-Orchestration of this song is first class though too heavy..Sharp flute played in the background sounds melodious...The surround effects used will sound exraordinary in a theatre equipped with Dolby or DTS Technology...
Singer:-Vivek starts the song with dialogue.., ’’Radha Krishna..Hamare Bharat mein har premi ko shrikrishna or prmika ko Radhaji ke roop mein dekha jata hai..’’....BUt the whole track belongs to only one man Sukhwinder Singh...He has sung this song stupendously...Chorus by others is also very good...Surely you will love to hum this tune....I loved this track..
10}Kisna Theme III(Chorus):-[Rating:-Not Applicable since it is short] 1.15
Muic By:-ARR
The tune ’Hum hai is paal yanha’ sung by Chorus with a bit high tempo.
Orchestration reminds you the song ’Taal se taal mila(western)’ from the movie taal...Not much to write about this one...
