Music review: Yuvvraaj (Hindi - A R Rahman) Posted by: Karthik In: Hindi OST
Benny’s fabulous in the pensive melody, Tu meri dost; the contoured tune and nuanced orchestration works well. Beyond the instantly catchy facade, Shano is simplistically pop, while the lilting Tu muskura has wonderful vocals from Alka, and particularly Javed Ali. Mastam is at best a non-starter medley even as Zindagi, the Srinivas-solo, takes off from where Nahin saamne left, without the same effect. The grandiloquent orchestration and unconventional structure of Dil ka rishta and the semi-classical, new-age fusion, Manmohini are testimony to the composer’s path-breaking innovation. Yuvvraaj has interesting thematic music that is perhaps best seen and not just heard.
