Laaga Chunari Mein Daag |
With very next number, 'Zara Gungunalein Chalo' we are transported saat-samunder paar, as the composition commences with a lovely courtship ballad in French, which later turns into a nice love track. Lovely use of guitars and plates infuse depth in the composition. Babul Supriyo makes a comeback after a long hiatus and he is good as always, with Mahalaxmi giving him able support.
One of the most loved classical numbers 'Laaga Chunari Mein Daag', by the versatile genius, Manna Dey, sees the light of day once again. This time it's the queen of classical numbers, Shubha Mudgal who gets to deliver it. Though there is a disclaimer that it is not from original sound track, but its definitely the same number, as far as the raaga and even the lyrics are concerned. Full marks to Shantanu Moitra for doing justice to a brilliant piece of work. Of course much of the credit goes to Shubha Mudgal, who is absolutely mindblasting with her rendition. Meeta Vashisht too deserves accolades, as she adds that extra punch with some hard hitting monologues in 'Shudh Hindi', (pure Hindi) - "Manwa mein mere aandhi hai udthi, (there is a storm in my heart), Aur stabh khadi hoon main (but I stand motionless), Saason mein baandh apni hee saans(holding my breath), Nishabd khadi hoon main( I stand silent), Duniya se jeeti jeeti, Par khud se hari, Bas dhwast khadi hoon main (I have conquered the world, but I am a loser and I stand destroyed). These are feelings of the main female lead protagonist as she comes face to face with the humiliating truth, it's her inner voice that is echoed so beautifully here. Will definitely be a treat to watch the "rani" of Bollywood, Rani Mukherjee perform on screen and take this superlative classical gem to new heights. |
