Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna |
"Tumko bhi hai khabar, Mujhko bhi hai pata, Ho raha hai juda, Dono ka raasta door jaake bhi mujhse, Tum meri yaadon mein rehna, Kabhi alvida na kehna, Kabhi alvida Naa kehna." Alka soon join hands and the two make one float in ecstasy as the music (simple and melodious) and lyrics (simple and effective) combine to become a lethal, intoxicating and a heady mix.
There is no doubt that the title track in discussion surpasses that of 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' (though it may open a Pandora's box!) in more ways than one. Sonu is more seasoned and professional here and the lyrics, though conveying separation don't become morose. One does get a lump in the throat. So for the emotional type, please have your tissues ready at hand. And we have added that bit so that we aren't blamed of (not) cautioning the listeners!
All good things must come to an end and so let us move on to 'Mitwa', a track that has been loved, even by Karan's detractors! Featuring Shafqat Amanat Ali, Shankar Mahadevan and Caralisa. Soft guitar/'veena' strokes and Caralisa singing "Love will find a way", welcomes Shafqat Amanat Ali (lead vocalist of Pakistani band Fuzon) with his magical voice singing "Jaaniye, Heeriye, Mere man ye bata de tu, kis ore chala hai tu, Kya paya nahin tune, Kya dhoond raha hai tu ... Mitwa, Kahey dhadkanein tujh se kya, Mitwa, Ye khud se to na tu chupa." It is a soul searching song, that implores the main protagonist not be indecisive/dual minded and go ahead and do what the heart and mind wants!
Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan, son of Ustad Amanat Ali Khan, is one of Pakistan's most distinguished classical pop vocalists and shows why he is what he is, with a stunning rendition (in the company of the highly talented Shankar Mahadevan). At times they combine so well that it becomes difficult to distinguish between the two (especially during the crescendo).
