Clash of three big

The clash of three big Bollywood musical By MIO Team Nov 23, 2006, 07:31

Almost at the same time the music of three Bollywood films 'Guru', 'Kabul Express' and 'Anwar' has released this week. The music of these three films has arrived at the same time, each boasting of some different kind of music. 'Guru' brings together the indomitable pair of Mani Ratnam and A.R.Rehman and is a magnum opus. 'Kabul Express' too gets its share of limelight coming from the Yash Raj Films, arriving with new sound of music comprising - situational, instrumentals and theme pieces from debutante composer Raghav Sachar. Along side this big releases there is 'Anwar', a low profile film but the music cannot be underestimated coming out from Mithoon of Tere Bin fame. Among the three films, which will be the dark horse, is a thing to see!

Mani Ratnam, A R Rahman and Gulzar - when they came together last time, they created 'Dil Se'. They are back again as a team in Guru. And the songs are really from dil se. A R Rahman has always reserved his best for Mani Ratnam - be it Roja, Bombay, Dil Se, Saathiya or Yuva. Guru is no exception. Guru has seven songs of which the first two - 'Barso Re' and 'Tere Bina' are sure shot winners the moment you hear them.

Barso Re… Shreya Ghoshal & Uday Mazumdar
Na re na re na na re na re… this is not your usual baarish song. Shreya Ghoshal sounds very different and sweet in this beautifully written number. Picturized on Aishwarya Rai, this one surely sets the tone for the rest of the album. Already aired on TV channels, it's a nice song to begin with.

Tere Bina… A R Rahman & Chinmayee / Additional Voices: Murtaza, Qadir / Dialect Coach: Raqeeb Alaam
Whenever A R Rahman sings, the song becomes special. Here he croons in a way similar to 'Kabhi neem neem' from Yuva - difference being he sings here full fledged rather than just humming.

Ek Lo Ek Muft… Bappi Lahiri & Chitra / Additional Voices: Tanvi, Saloni, Boney, Jaidev
Buy one get one free! Bolo Guru! Bappi Lahiri sings this situational number probably when Abhishek and Aish have twins. Yammo yammo… sung in a very typical Bappi Lahiri voice, this might look better on screen.

Mayya… Maryem Toller, Chinmayee, Keerthi
Probably picturized on Mallika Sherawat, 'Mayya' is the much talked about item number in Guru. Maryem Toller sings in a nasal voice aptly suited to the 1950s/1960s settings. It might remind you of 'Satrangi re' from Dil Se in between when Chinmayee and Keerthi sing a couple of lines. Guru theme music, which you would have seen in the trailer, can be heard towards the end of this song.

Ay Hairathe Aashiqui… Hariharan & Alka Yagnik
'Ay Hairathe Aashiqui' begins with the similar jashn jashn tune of 'Tere Bina' but soon forms its own identity when you hear Hariharan. Alka Yagnik gives good company to Hariharan in this beautifully written Ghazal. Quite melodious, more so when you have A R Rahman humming in the background.

Baazi Laga… Udit Narayan, Madhushree, Swetha, Bhargawee
You can hardly have an A R Rahman album without Udit Narayan singing at least one song. Here he brings the Bihari babu again singing 'Baazi laga' for Abhishek probably when Guru starts making it big in the big bad world of money.

Jaage Hain… Chitra, A.R. Rahman, Madras Chorale Group
'Jaage Hain' is more of a musical piece than any routine song. This one has quite a deep meaning lyrics on the lines of 'Woh subah kabhi to aayegi'.

Overall, I would say Guru has a music which would be a Hit with the classes from Day One. And it also has some numbers, which would be Hit with the masses instantly. Guru's music has the potential to make it Big, real Big. As a bonus you also get five A R Rahman hit songs from the past in this album.

'Maula Mere' & 'Javeda Zindagi'.Mithoon has done well.
