Om Shanti Om |
The 'Om Shanti Om' theme music (programmed by Abhijit Nalani) has Pyarelal written all over it. It is a superb piece, played brilliantly on piano. It starts with a slow pace, picks up and finally concludes on a slow note, but it is enough to leave a mark on the listener.
The 'Om Shanti Om (medley mix)' by Jackie V. is an assortment of a few songs (remixed superbly) featured in the album. The snatches of 'Dhoom Tana', 'Dard-E-Disco', and 'Deewangi Deewangi' can be relished once again through this version.
To sum it up, the Pyarelal touch looms large on the audio of 'Om Shanti Om'. It is truly a complete 70 mm (a prestigious 70s & 80s term) album experience. It's a path-breaking work by Vishal & Shekhar, who break the myth about them being only rockish kind of composers, as they take on a melodious yatra from the early 70s to the present day. If one is a fan of the melodious (non-synthesized) Bollywood era and even if one is not aware of it, it's a must buy for all those who call themselves lovers of Bollywood. Its melody and poetry. If the initial response to the audio is any indication, 'Om Shanti Om' is all set to conquer the charts and stay there for a while.
