Om Shanti Om |
Richa Sharma, the queen of Punjabi folk singing, commences the heart touching, 'Jag Soona Soona Lage', with a 'heer' style singing. She deserves a perfect ten for her flawless rendition. The OSO theme music has been used to superb effect with Kumaar's Punjabi lyrics. Then its Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, who after 'Laagi Man Ki Lagan' ('Paap'), 'Bol Na Halke Halke' ('Jhoom Barabar Jhoom') and 'Main Jahan Bhi Rahoon' ('Namastey London'), has truly inherited the legacy of his illustrious uncle, the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. But let us not deviate from the superbly composed, as well as rendered composition. V-S deserve all the praise for a number that is just perfect in all departments. Be it, at times soft and at times harsh musical arrangements (in form of plates and guitars), Rahat's brilliant performance and last but not the least, Javed Sahab's heart-wrenching lyrics in simple Hindi and Urdu. "Roothi roothi saari raatein, Pheeke Pheeke saare din, Veerani see veerani hai, Tanhaai see tanhaai hai, Aur ek hum hain pyaar ke bin, Har pal chin."
Is 'Deewangi Deewangi' the highlighted song featuring almost the who's who of Bollywood? All seems to point to it. In a way, this one is also the theme track as the fun gaiety, party song goes " Aqlo hosh na mee danum" (which is in Persian and means "I know not what is wisdom and sense"), Hum hain dil aur janam, Bas dewangi deewangi dewaangi hai". The chorus also chants, "All the hot girls put your hands up and say Om Shanti Om. All the cool boys c'mon make some noise and say Om Shanti Om". The trade mark OSO tune is also present in its grandeur. Definitely a scorcher of a track, which gets turbo charged by talented singers like Shaan, Udit Narayan, Rahul Saxena, Shreya and Sunidhi. The track concludes with the orchestra going full blast with the OSO tune.
'Deewangi (Rainbow mix)' by DJ Kiran and DJ G is a nice piece of work. The already pacy all-star cast song has a more hectic pace than the original. The vocals have not been violated much, only the musical arrangements change to give it a good effect. |
