One of the best things about yesterday's sangeet scene was that they finally used the right song for the scene. I don't understand the words of Hindi songs but music is a universal language and I feel that the powers to be usually gets it wrong when choosing the music for Michi. The songs never seem to quite fit the intensity or vibe of the scene. I know many people loved the song used for the 'C' night scene but I thought it was totally off. They started the scene with Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam instrumental music playing. I think they should have stuck with that. Another scene were I felt they got it wrong was the tea-stall flash back scene. Chose the absolute correct singer in Rahat Fateh Ali Khan but they should have used 'O Re Piya' instead of 'Jag Soona Soona Lage'. Another thing they need to do is is come up with a signature Michi song instead of just using the Kayamath title track. They absolutely nailed it in KS with 'Jiya Dhadak Dhadak'. In the end it got played to death but it did become synonymous with Jai & Bani. Even Kuch Is Tara is getting it right with their music. The Golmaal song and the hint of 'Tum Se Hi' were absolutely spot on in the scenes they were used. All of this makes me think that maybe KYM is the stepchild of BT and therefore no one pays attention to these things. š In a scene with no dialogues it's the music that can make or break the scene and too often I'm busy thinking 'why this song?!" instead of getting caught up in the Michi magic.
PS. You are all welcome to pour scorn on me for my little rant š but this is my pet peeve of KYM. No wait, my pet peeve is the insane storylines but that's another post. š
