Ek Deewana Tha- Music Review by Ram Anand
Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya (Will You Cross the Skies For Me) was one of the biggest hits in the Tamil cinema arena in recent years and it has gone on to attain a cult status among Tamil film followers- prompting Gautham Menon to finally make his long-awaited second attempt at directing a Hindi film. His first, a remake of his debut hit film with Madhavan, 'Minnale' didn't turn out to be that much of a sweet affair. Probably keeping that in mind, Gautham produced 'Ek Deewana Tha' (There was a Crazy Guy), VTV's Hindi remake, himself- to avoid the complications he faced with 'Rehna To Teri Dil Mein' producers.
VTV's music, which represented Gautham's first collaboration with AR Rahman, also attained a cult status and thus anticipations run high for the Hindi version of its music. The album has 12 tracks, including some famous, sought-after BGM scores that were missing in VTV and also one additional song to existing copyblock album of VTV.
All in all, this is a great album- if you can stop comparing, and even if you want to compare, it still has improvised tracks- which makes it still a very good album.
With that said, Wait for Jessie!
Rating: 9/10
we have an awesome start, an almost perfect Hosanna, a lovely Sharminda Hoon, a romantically touching zohra-jabeen, and a lot many average to above average to even good other tracks. I guess that good enough for now. Isn't it?
Also, after taking a look at some more reviews, I think it would be better to mention that I have not heard Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya and hence the review is from the perspective of a person who has NOT heard the original album, and listening to all the tunes for the first time.
When Rahman failed miserably''
This is Rahman's worst soundtrack in a while (probably his worst ever) and I can't believe that he managed to achieve it with the same wondrous tunes he had composed for Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya. Whatever were the high points of VTV have been brutally stripped, strewn on the ground and trampled upon here. There is little redemption and solace to be found in the snatches of wizardry that Rahman's creaky soundtrack delivers. Its like a Bentley has been ransacked and fitted with the parts of a Maruti 800.
The unkindest of cuts is dealt to the gorgeous Hosanna. Vijay Prakash who was the heart and soul of the song is mysteriously eschewed for a Leon D' Souza. It is a pathetic decision not only because (a) Vijay Prakash can sing Hindi with command but because (b) Leon D' Souza sings worse Hindi. It is a ruthless desecration of a memorable song. Leave alone the gravelly majestic voice of Vijay Prakash this guy sounds like a teenage Bieber singing about his wannabe love. There is absolutely noidhayam in this song. And this is not even the worst. You know what is the worst? What has been done to Aaromale and Dost Hai. The former completely loses its fragrant, enchanting quality because it is heartlessly shoved with Hindi lyrics that are not only insipid but border on funny. (Did Javed Akhtar really write them? Seriously?) Even though the wrapper for Aaromale is psychedelic, it is a song that is steeped in South Indian'ness right from the way the phrases break, the chant like interludes'everything. At the heart of the problem is the clash between the south Indian idiom and the north Indian idiom of music that Rahman can't reconcile
Ekk Deewana Tha (Music review), Hindi – A R Rahman
Posted by Karthik
Pyaasa-style existential questions, in Rahman's vocals, rule Kya hai mohabbat, while Dost hai goes full-on hip-hop to retain just one hook from the original. Hosanna, Phoolon jaisi and Sunlo zara are, at best, boy-band'ish pop, but Rashid Ali does elevate the last one, even as it is mauled by inconsistent interlude upgrades. Sharminda hoon's lyrics and tune go all painfully mawkish. The soundtrack's highlights are Javed Ali's Zohra jabeen, Alphonse's Aromale (and its tantalizing hum by Shreya Ghoshal) – 2 tracks where Rahman firmly leaves his stamp by offering gorgeous world music mix. Largely customary soundtrack with only occasional highs.
