Ghajini | 2008
Genre: Bollywood
Author : Srivathsa
Synopsis: Rahman's "Ghajini" is dazzling!!!
Aamir Khan starrer ."Ghajini" is seen causing a lotta talks in the market and now
that the audio is out, Rahman owns the show. And what does Rahman offer you this
time?
The variety and genre of songs that Rahman has dipped us into this year , sorta
amazes me..starting from "Jodha Akbar" till "Ghajini".
"Guzarish" sung by Javed Ali and Sonu is a heavy bass-ed soothie. The sharp tone
of Javed Ali ripples across throughout the song and there is a lotta Bollywood essense
to the song. There are a few instances where the choir does a nice work.
"Aye Bachho" starts with a rivetting pop tune out of the box, followed by the heavy
guitar strums and we know how the number is gonna be..very early..Rahman keeps us
surprising with his creativity here...
"Kaise Mujhe" is the slower - melody sung by Benny Dayal and Shreya Goshal. The
song soothes and haunts and the very end of each part. Personally, I had a feeling
that Shreya's part was sung with much more emotion. Benny Dayal could improve a
bit.
"Behka" - A surprise experimental number from Rahman. The song's structure is what
surprises me ; the structure of the instrumentation and the climax where Karthik
sings the pepped up number with so much grace and love. Lovely!
"Lattoo" Not only a foot tapper, but a gracious dance number; and we don't stop
there. Its a pack of delicious sound , synch and rhythm. A perfect blend of Carribean
and arabian. If not Rahman who else can do that?
This year has been so wonderful and all that wonder is because of one man's creativity
and his impressive talent to dump it all in music and give it to us. "Ghajini" is
one more of the the thousand feathers in Rahman's hat.
