For those who believe in omens, here is a good one. A R Rahman brings in the
new year with some awesome music for Jodhaa Akbar. Now, hopefully, the rest of
the composers can keep up.
To say that the music of the film matches the theme and the grandeur of the
film would be an understatement. Like his other compositions for Gowarikar,
there is a variety in them, and each is as compelling.
In Jashn-e-Baharaa, Jaaved Ali has delivered the song of year. Soft and
melliflous, the song stays with you for a long time.
Rahman takes to the microphone for Khwaja Mere Khwaja, a sufi qawwali, thats
at once devotional and soothing. The ease with which Rahman hits the high notes
gives the whole song an exalted feel.
Mann Mohana is again a devotional song, sung by beautifully by Bela Shende.
Javed Akhtars lyrics are complete mastery, while Shendes voice leaves one
with the memory of Chitra in her numerous renditions for Rahman
Inn Lamho ke Daaman mein sees Sonu Nigam and Madhushree excelling in a song
that demands restraint and passion. Azeem-o-Shaan Shahenshah is a paean to an
emperor, and every bit as regal.
The instrumentals are in keeping with Rahmans class. A wholesome experience,
this.
