Jaan-E-Mann |
It can also be labeled as the title track. It is a unique number with a bewitching melody; the kind rarely heard these days. A tune so simple yet so enchanting that it remains engraved in the hearts and hummed unconsciously, long after the song comes to a close. Gulzar Saab's lyrics play an important part in making this song so very special. The use of some simple Urdu, English and Hindi lyrics is amazing.
Anu's orchestral arrangements are top notch. Flamingo style tap beats are used to give a feel-good touch. Sonu is simply mindblasting and the super-talented Sadhna Sargam, the perfect foil. To sum up, it's a number that will be relished by the people who love classy, romantic songs. This composition features twice, the second time as mere space filler.
Next up is another classy number, 'Ajnabi Shaher' and Sonu does the honours once again. A semi-romantic, philosophical number, it's the kind that Sonu has perfected over the years and loved by his fans. Right from 'Yeh Dil' ('Pardes') to his award-winning 'Tanhaai' ('Dil Chahta Hai) and to the most recent 'Bhula Denge Tumko' (which was by Anu) and of course this one too is no exception, as Sonu is simply superb here also. It's a song about loneliness and remembrance in a strange town and the feelings of the expatriates in a foreign country, made perfect by some heart touching, thought provoking lyrics by Gulzar Saab. "Ajnabi shaher hai, Ajnabi shaam hai, Zindagi ajnabi, Kya tera naam hai?"
However, the background musical arrangements (though Anu has put in a lot pep and zing, the flamingo beats etc) and the song itself have strong inspirations from the Mahendra Kapoor's classic from 'Gumraah' 'Aa Bhi jaa'. But inspirations apart, this is a good composition by Anu.
