M.M. Kreem is known for his ’hatke’ renditions. While the movie was so-so, the songs of the movie are worth it. Worth buying!
M.M. Kreem has done some fantastic work in Sur and Jism. While we long to see more of him, he hasn’t done too many Hindi films.
Coming back to the movie, “Maine dil se kaha’’ is smooth listening song from K.K. The lyrics are very easy and nice to pay attention to. K.K.´s haunting voice matches the intensity of the poetry.
Maine dil se kaha, dhoond laana khushi,
na-samajh laaya gham, toh yeh gham hie sahi |
Another song K.K., ’’Tere iss jahan mein’’ is a good song. More enjoyable is ’’Khoobsurat’’. It describes how deeply ‘influenced’ the officer is with the ‘dead’ model. Good to hear good lyrics in this age! While it is always nice to love the the person within than the personality, this song drools over the physical appearance. The following line will make this point clearer!
Khoobsurat hain woh itna, sahaa nahi jaata
Kaise hum khud ko rokh le, rahaa nahi jaata |
Chaand mein daag hai, yeh jaante hai hum lekin
Raat bhar dekhe bina usko raha nahi jaata ||
’’Guzar Na Jaaye’’ is another track with two versions. One is mostly dominated by K.K. (with input from Shreya Ghoshal but she has done complete justice and one would wait for her part to come). The second song is a solo by Shreya herself. This song is about wanting a special moment to continue without ever coming to an end.
’’Rog Theme’’ is a fabulous blending of western and eastern sounds with piano notes combining with classical Indian sounds.
The surprising number is “Sufani”, written and produced by Gaudi. It is almost like a Sufi Qawwalli. A very perky number and makes it a very unusual composition. Listen for the first time and you are bound to be pleasantly surprised with expressions like, What’s that? How interesting! That’s different!! However Gaudi’s vocals are kind of ’buried’ by the beats of the drums, making the song hard to understand. But you’ll enjoy anyway! Rog, will always be known for Irfan and the music.
