Jodhaa Akbar |
Ashutosh prefers to call his magnum-opus an epic romance between Emperor Akbar and his beloved wife, Jodhaa, and it therefore provides Rahman ample opportunity to create two of the most wonderful love ballads of recent times.
Magical sitar and rubab sounds embrace the listeners and commence the first one 'Jashne-E-Bahaaraa' that one falls in love with instantly. The combination of the sitar, rubab and beads is fantabulous. Although it's a romantic love song, it is a touch different. What we mean is that its not the usual run of the mill number that can fit into any romantic situation. It has been specially crafted for the movie. The lyrics suggest that it is a situational love track. The fact that initially Jodhaa resented her marriage to Akbar is presented in a beautiful manner, through words which are simply superb, and Javed Akhtar deserves all the accolades possible - "Kaise kahen kya hai sitam, Sochte hain ab yeh hum, Koi kaise kahen woh hain ya nahin hamare, Karten toh hain saath safar, Faasle hain, Phir bhi magar, Jaise milte nahin dariya ke do kinare." Javed Ali is simply superb, as he tunefully renders the spellbinding composition.
Sitar and rubab once again commences 'Jashn-E-Bahaaraa-Instrumental' though its backbone is some excellent flute piece by Navin (Rahman's favourite). It is definitely a novel effort and makes for a pleasant change from the mundane instrumentals of today. |
