The biggest example being the new Umrao Jaan's score!

She [Alka Yagnik]sounds so disinterested with the goings on in the song

Isn’t this her problem in several of her recent songs? The biggest example being the new Umrao Jaan’s score!

My fave track in this is ‘Yeh jo des hai tera’ .Particularly when he raises the pitch at “Wahi Des Hain”.You forgot to mention the melodious humming in the background which was worth a honorable mention.

The next best is ‘Aahista aahista’ where the lyrics and music intertwine to give rise to a engaging track.

Finally ‘Saanwariya saanwariya’ is a teaser because it raises such expectations in the beginning and turns out to be a little mellow afterwards with some spikes in between.I didnt know what to make of it but if you keep listening probably the other songs also might get to you.

The worst song is ‘Dekho na’.If you watched Manisha and RajniKanth do this song its gonna scar you for the rest of the life whenever you hear this song.I am still reeling…

Two chotu comments: Didn’t Yeh Jo Desh remind you a little bit of Vande Mataram, esp when AR hits the higher notes

Paddy, I take great offence at ur Rajini statements :-p Wasn’t his dancing awesome in that Baba number ? Megs, kindly disregard his comment – You haven’t lived life if you haven’t seen that song and jived to it.. Rajini rocks !!

‘Pal Pal Hai Bhari’ – this is one song where the Lagaan connection surfaces at its strongest, especially the flute!!

‘Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera’ is my favorite for the moment – but as you’ve mentioned this being Rahman will take several hearings before the score (pun unintentional) is settled :)

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.meghalomania.com/2004/10/05/76/#comment-409 Hey Megha !<br />nice post ... i was just listening to the songs today and was thinking of writing a review on this. You captured almost all of what i thought ;). Ashutosh seems to be relying on his ARR magic of Lagaan probably here. My impression of this album r very low, and not near being impressed. Lately ARR hasnt given good compositions to keep up to his talent. And ofcourse, you have another valid point, its ARRs music !! opinions change as u listen to it ... i remember when i heard Lagaan first ... i said the same thing ... "gosh .. how can ARR make such music" ... and Lagaan s in now in one of my favs. so u never know. <br /><br />For now, this doesnt impress me much and also Dekho Na being a totaly copy of Baba.<br /><br />One other comment i had was that i didnt like the lyrics and found it more "trying-to-fit-in-music" types. This may change, but r my first impressions ... :)<br /><br />The other reason i say this didnt impress me is bcoz some of the tunes r very familiar ones, resembling Lagaan quite much, esp the Aahista one, is a lift-off of his own "O Paalanhaare"... is he out of tunes is what i tend to think ? No offense, ARR is one of my fav composers but .... Hey Megha !
