Tie-Breaker Round: Sadhna Sargam

Looks like this round involves choosing between all plain jane boring tracks, ironically featuring "Mr. perfectionist" Aamir Khan in all the movies (1947 earth, dil hai ki maanta nahin, raja hindustani).

Any track by A.R. Rehmaan carries a lot of expectations and this one is no different, at least of paper. But you just can't hide the fact that the background music being played cleverly disguises the plain mediocre singing done by sadhna.

Sadhnaji, kahaan haye aapke sargam?

The track starts with an energetic tune and then the words-banno rani, tujhe sayani, hona hi tha..being sang by sadhna. It doesn't sound like a song, but rather like a forgotten poem being rehearsed and versed into a song. Its flat, just plain flat singing with no control of sur anywhere.

One more drawback that goes against her is that she seemed hurried in completing the song without even making an effort to either add any feel or that important voice modulation which would atleast made it a bit more tolerable....this just doesn't make the cut. Same goes for the flat scale with too much inconsistencies.

The track does have a few pluses like singing the second verse in one breath and showing of energy as the song peaks, but this energy is all from upar upar se, not from the heart. It just sounds artificial.

The only saving grace is just the tunes-a combination of retro modernity with a hint of jazz thrown into it. Otherwise, this song is utterly forgettable.

And the singing quality just sinks without a trace for the end listener. It comes and goes and you wouldn't even notice it.
Why? Just listen to it and maybe you too will agree with it.

This is a tie breaker round, so scoring will be strict, very strict.

Rated: 7/10.
My score: 6.5/10.

i'll give her 7 out of 10... not exactly one of her bests...

Cosworthkid you don't need to go in and diss every track you listen to. AR Rehman composed it and it was actually a big hit.

A nice, happy track..

The first requirement here is of course, a moderate kind of energy, which Sadhna ji provided well. The throw is very good, measured. This is not an easy song to sing, especially the fast portions. I feel the actual beauty of Sadhna ji's voice gets quite hampered in this song, it does not come out well.

More naughty expressions should have been added, for example in the words "Hona Hi Tha", there could have been more stress with a little more nautanki emotion. The pronunciation is good, but her fast tempo makes her move over words without proper emphasis on their meaning. Overall, a nice effort.

My marks for this performance will be 6 out of 10.

Great singing by Sadhna Sargam!

She had the perfect expressions needed throughout this song. Very joyful and expressive. The line,
ek din tumko banno raja ke ghar doli mein jakke
, was very impressive as she sings it in a higher pitch.


In the post-main, there was some more variations in the tempo, that she took care of well.


Overall, I think she did a pretty good job. Excellent expressions given throughout the song. There is a reason this song became popular, and is used commonly in weddings. Sadhna's voice is part of it. She sang flawlessly, while some good points throughout the song. Great voice quality as well.
