A Still from 'DJBK' |
The 'Opening Title Theme' has Caralisa humming superbly between the chimes and rhymes. The theme has been composed in the mode of The Philharmonic Orchestra though not as classical. A nice and different attempt, as SEL deviate from the tried and tested path.
Next up, 'Sajna Angna Aayo Re' features twice in the album. On the first hearing it appears to be the first purely commercial track of 'Dil Jo Bhi Kahey' and SEL remind us that they are the same composers who gave us 'Bunty Aur Babli' earlier this year. Actually it turns out to be a just a semi one line Sufi-cum-classical style composition sung by Javed Ali.
Shankar Mahadevan has sung three songs in 'Dil Jo Bhi Kahey' but the song, which he sings for Amitabh Bachchan, 'Mere Munna' (translated - my small one) is most interesting. Shankar changes his voice to suit the personality of Mr. Bachchan. The song is about a father who gives some worldly advice to his son about love and life. The soft use of traditional instruments along with Mahadevan's excellent singing succeed in making 'Mere Munna' worth listening to over and over again. Since we have discussed the song let’s say the obvious once again! Javed Akhtar's lyrics are simple, exceptional and in sync with the song requirement. |
