Shaurya |
Some soft female crooning and a nice rhythm commences the superbly romantic 'Dheere Dheere'. The petal soft love ballad is raaga based. The melody is smooth with no jerks and there is not much musical cacophony in the background, with guitar and piano providing the perfect backdrop for a romantic interlude. Adnan and Sunidhi's vocals caress the listeners' imagination, and since this type of singing is Adnan's forte, he is excellent as usual. Though Sunidhi does a good job, our feeling is that Shreya could have done more justice to the number. Javed Sahab's delicate (nazuk) poetry deserves accolades as the feeling of love is brought out in this ode to the beloved composition through some classy lyrics.
Military band and drill with real drums as the main instrument commence the title track, 'Shaurya', because the movie has the military as its backdrop. The track embodies the spirit and the theme of the movie, "It takes courage to make right ... Right." Javed Akhtar is just the right person to put the noble thoughts to words through some inspirational poetry. "Jeetna seekh diwane. (Learn to win) Mana isko duniya ne (world acknowledges winners). Wo jo kabhi haar na mane (Those who never give up). Wohi shaurya hai ( he is the warrior)." Kunal's fresh vocals are a treat and he gives a fine performance. The beauty of the track lies in the fact that the whole song has been interwoven around march past/drill music with an ample rock and roll touch.
Heavy orchestral music, distant sounds in the background and dispersed vocals depicting a disturbed state of mind start the proceedings of another inspirational track 'Ghabra Ke Dar Dar Ke'. Once again the totally western arrangements, relying more on drums, guitar and percussion instruments are the highlight of the track. Sunidhi is in her elements as she goes full blast and puts in an amazing rendition along with Adnan, who is superb. Once again the highlight of the track is Javed Sahab's motivational poetry. The lyrics challenge the escapists and the weaklings and inspires them to do something worthwhile with their life. |
