Jodhaa Akbar |
After the soulful qawwali, its prayer time once again, with 'Man Mohanaa', a bhajan or a devotional number, dedicated to Lord Krishna, God of love, also referred to as "Kanha" or "Man Mohanaa" (charmer of the heart), as in this number. It is obviously a situational track, sung during troubled times of war and revolt. The extremely talented, but underrated Bela Shende moves the soul with her rendition and makes this first, somewhat average composition (the tune has been heard many times before) from Rahman a soulful experience. In the context of the movie, the number will serve an important purpose in showing that Jodhaa was a woman of substance and she stuck to her own faith and religion and the emperor respected her faith.
So those were our impressions of Jodhaa Akbar, the audio album which finally hit the stores after many postponements, but when it did, the wait was definitely worth it! Rahman has done it again and his fans are savoring his masterly compositions. But isn't that always the case, even when it is served on time? Definitely and surely a must buy, as it may not be a classic, but will surely become one in the days to come!
