Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag |
We now come to the title track, 'Hai Aag Yeh', which is undoubtedly the best track of the album, after 'Mehbooba'. The song commences with the hair-raising tune that warns one of the arrival of the most scary on-screen villains of all times, Gabbar Singh (Amjad Khan). The bongo based, well orchestrated piece of music that ends in a crescendo is mindblasting, with all the credit going to Amar Mohile. Sunidhi is superb as always.
'Hai Aag Yeh-Theme Music', as suggested by the title, conveys the feel of the movie well. The flow around the bongo is very fluid and the arrangers have to be commended. The throwback to the original 'Sholay' is quite pronounced (though punctuated by bullet sounds) here.
On the whole, Ramu (the iconoclast that he is), must be given credit for not trying to rehash/rearrange the legendary tunes of Panchamda's golden classic 'Sholay'. Still, the enthusiasm that we are about to hear something extraordinary (after Urmila's 'Mehbooba' promo), vanishes in a whiff, as we listen to the disappointing 'Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag' album. And that reflects in the poor audio sales as well.
