Last week got a chance to hear Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Magnum Opus, A Desi take on very famous and celebrated tale of "Romeo and Juliet"! The Music is got to be special.. not just because its completely "Indian"ized and Passionate and fiery tale of two start struck lovers.. not because It's Sanjay Leela Bhansali's latest obsession.. but because it marks the Return of SLB as a Composer and I definitely believe that he has got the great aesthetic, taste and deeper understanding of classical, cultural and fabulous Indian Music!
The Most Celebrated storyteller of Indian Film Industry is back.. This time donning more than half a dozen hats for his next venture! The most important being a "Music Composer" as music plays extremely crucial role in portraying such larger than life characters and stories on screen with proper justice!
After experiencing this wonderful bouquet of songs, I can happily say, Yes.. The lost charm of Indian music is back and am glad there are people like him who understand and Celebrate Indian Music so Well! The Music is "Passionate, Extremely Intense, boasts of some great lyrics, Completely dipped in its pure"Gujrati" setting..and stays completely true to its subject and purpose!" Let me share some of my favorite picks from this one :-
Definitely the best to come from this hell of a talented and Versatile Singer who doesn't stop to amaze with his every single rendition! pure bliss to listen to this one!! With its heavenly arrangement and absolutely soothing and peaceful vocals and background music, it conveys a lot more about eternal love! It takes me to trance.. Its highly recommended if you are fan of classical and Soothing Indian Music!!!
2. Ang Laga De - Singer- Aditi Paul & Shail Hada - (When two souls turn into one!)
The most passionate song of the album! Has a very seductive and sensual feel to it! Aditi paul croons the vocals so seductively and softly.. The song conveying the extreme obsession of people who are completely cut off from the rest of the world and immersed completely into each other so much so that nothing else really exists...one wonders what magic SLB might have created while picturing this one!
3. Lahu moonh lag gaya - Singer- Shail Hada - (When violence torns apart the innocent hearts!)
Shail hada croons this one with utmost sincerity and feeling conveying the deeper pain of innocent protagonists who have fallen pray to the world of hatred ,war and blood which they have not chosen for themselves!The moment of realization that in a world in which they are born, their feelings do not hold any meaning and they certainly have to fight many more odds before they come to terms with their choice!
4. Nagada Sand Dhol - Singer- Shreya Ghoshal - (expressing love through dance!)
SLB's favorite shreya spells magic with this number.. The arrangement of the song is very much like"Dhol Baje" from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.. but this one carries a very deep feeling of expressing your love fearlessly to whole world and just celebrate it unbashedly! Deepika Padukone looks absolutely mind blowingly gorgeous and does complete justice with the song! an Audio-Visual treat!
5.Poore Chaand - Singer- Shail Hada - (The quintessential Moon Song!)
Here comes the trademark "Chaand" song that every SLB album contains! The Nights and moon always hold a special significance in lovers' lives! Its the atmosphere, the time when feelings blossom! The wonderful lyrics explains the feeling beautifully.
6.Dhoop - Singer- Shreya Ghoshal - (The Longing...)
Extremely haunting and deeply painful melody.. being a very strong classical singer, Shreya ghoshal easily sings it and you can feel the pain of longing leela who is completely reeling under effect of her love and waiting desperately for her suffering to end!
7. Ram chahe Leela - Singer- Bhoomi Trivdi - ( The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet)
Narrates the classic love story of Romeo and Juliet in our very own Desi Gujju style... The completely desi rock song with some unusual and stunning choice of words by Lyricists - Siddharth and Garima!
Don't miss this one if you love Hardcore Indian music!!!
