The highly creative team of Pradeep Sarkar, Shantanu Moitra and Swanand Kirkire brought us the enchanting music of 'Parineeta', the melodious, soulful and original compositions still remain fresh in our memory. Needless to say, the music was universally acclaimed with the songs topping the charts and were instrumental in a large manner for the commercial success of the film. Now that the able team has tied up with the biggest production house in the industry, the Yash Raj banner, expectations soar sky high. So without wasting much time, let's check out their latest exciting offer.
The sound of flowing river water, the tinkling bells of the temple, an alaap and then the carefree laughter of the girls and not to mention, even the bleating of a goat (all references to the daily schedule), commence the situational 'Hum To Aise'. Since the backdrop of the movie is Benaras, a historical and pious town in Uttar Pradesh, the setting of the song is just perfect. The traditional, all Indian 'raaga', which is slightly folk inspired is impressive. Swanand Kirkire, who impressed one and all with his writing abilities, shows his perfect hold over the North Indian dialect (partly 'Bhojpuri') with some really apt, fitting-the-situation lyrics. The starting stanza "Jeb mein humri doo hee rupaiya, Duniya ko rakhein theinge pe bhaiya", (though we are penniless, we care a damn about this materialistic world), depicts the characters of the lead artists to perfection, in fact it brings them to life. Sunidhi and Shreya complement each other with some superb singing. They sing with utmost ease, putting in the right emotions and above all the right diction. The 'Ganga-Jamuni' tahzeeb, the ambience of the holy city and the communal harmony, all deserve praise. Sample this - "Ek gali mein bam bam bhole, Duji gali mein allah miyan, Ek gali mein goonji azaane, Duji gali mein bansi bajaeea". Excellent number first up! |
