Guitar strumming commences the inspirational, interactive song 'Kholo Kholo'. Partly soft rock with rap interludes make it interesting. The highlight is the mind-blowing crescendo which will even make A.R. Rahman proud! The essence of the crescendo, "To dhoop hai, Jham se bikhar, Tu hai nadee o bekhabar, Beh chal kahin, Ud chal kahin, Dil khush jahan, Teri toh manzil hai wahin." The lyrics are in the league of Prasoon's own 'Roobaroo' from Rang de Basanti. But Prasoon seems to be more inspired by the legendary Urdu poet/shayer, Allama Iqbal's, "Tu Shaheeh Hai Basera Kar, Pahadon ki chattanon par, Nahin Tera nasheman, Kasre sultani ke gumbad par." In a nutshell, aim higher and don't underestimate your potential. Raman Mahadevan does a fine rendition job as he has a soft and sensitive voice.
Next up is 'Jame Raho', a song that should be adopted by the Indian government as the anthem for their campaign to eradicate illiteracy and promoting their "Education For All" plea! "Kas ke joota, Kas ke belt. Khons ke ander apni shirt, Manzil ko chali sawari, Kandhon pe zimmedari." Well are you getting nostalgic like us after hearing this? If you are, we don't blame you for it. We are on the same wavelength! The immensely talented and popular Vishal Dadlani shows his prowess once again, in a song which is conversation-like in parts, sung in a very simple tune. The chorus "Duniya ka naara, Jame raho", has a rock-like tune to it and is very inspirational and effective.
Writer and creative director of Taare Zameen Par, Amol Gupte takes up the mantle of a lyricist in the next composition 'Mera Jahan' and the music director is Shailendra Barve. It is their combined effort that once again transports us into the beautiful, innocent world of kids and school. Nostalgia hits us yet again as we are bound to remember our assemblies in the morning, as the kid's choir Gleehive cutely chimes, "A little sweet, A little sour, A little close not too far, All I need is to be free". The composer exploits the hitherto unknown facet of Adnan Sami's un-tapped potential. Adnan who is always accused of being monotonous, shows his detractors that he is capable of much more. He sings with ease in this beautifully composed but simple, pleasing to the ear tune. The last four lines by Amol Gupte, "Bachpan ke din chaar, Na aayenge baar baar, Jee le jee le mere yaar, Jeib Khali to udhaar, Jee zindagi," sum up the spirit with conviction. A song which urges people to live life freely and not to worry about anything. |
