Though the background music of ishqbaaaz serial has some typical sounds for typical situations like that funny music during the funny scenes or the usual drum roll that they do for shocking scenes or nafratbaaz scenes or the various bits and pieces of O JAANA song that they use liberally, what strummed my heart strings were these 3
1. I felt immense joy, the kind you get on waking up on the 1st day of a long holiday from the 'Tu ru ru ru ru ru ru' that they played when both Anika and Shivaay lifts the Ganapathi statue, though it was not a new one the way they added drum beats to that and the increased use of female chorus made all the difference to me 😃
2. Post Anika accepting Daksh's marriage proposal, when she'll be avoiding Shivaay and he comes in search of her to the kitchen, as soon as he enters background music changes to a violin version of O JAANA, which unlike the happier version of the song earlier indicates the seriousness of the situation as Shivaay is finally forced to face the reality of Anika becoming someone's else's...
3. And finally my personal background music till date is when after shivaay refuses to go for lunch with tia and after the cute shivika banter when he stops doing his CHOP gesture and anika asks him shall I bring lunch, the buildup they do with the orchestra part and the choir part just before he tells her 'tum na ekdum anika ho' and the O JAANA instrumental starts... that orchestra part is my favourite as if it is indicative of the wonder that anika was successful in helping him to forget his worries even if it's for a few minutes.
Of course apart from these I do enjoy the the various O JAANA snippets that they use... share your favourite background music 😆
