Tashan |
The last and one of the best songs of the album is the title song, 'Tashan Mein'. It is classified as the theme song, as the essence of the movie lies embedded here. It is once again a very complex kind of number, which is difficult to describe. The main gist of the song is Sufi-rock based. The Sufi touch is omnipresent, the arrangements pure rock. Many string instruments, hardcore rock touch through guitars and its variants and of course, the massive drumming and use of percussion instruments make this number par excellent! Vishal and Saleem succeed in giving the right kind of attitude and style through their emotive rendition. Hats off to V-S for the superb amalgamation of Sufi, qawwali, hard rock and folk. The song should be used as a promotional video and as role over credits, or merely in the background. The lyrics have naturally the Sufi touch and Piyush and Vishal combine to make them effective and in harmony with the movie.
All the songs in the album are in accord with the mood and the flavour of the movie and take a while to grow on the listeners. Music critics rate V-S along with Pritam and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, but here they can be compared to their ideal, A.R. Rahman, as they have done a truly honest job here. That's compliment enough for the talented duo. Definitely, this album is a sure shot winner. Even if it has taken quite a long time to be launched (as the movie releases on 25 April), Tashan is all set to rock the charts for quite sometime. A must buy for those who like their music to be off the beaten/predictable track!
