Bhoothnath |
The first promos of Bhoothnath on the satellite channels gave the audience a taste of the supernatural through this excellent musical piece by guest composers, Salim-Sulaiman. The lovely background musical arrangements, which are comprised, of a piano piece, orchestral sounds and medieval drums succeed in giving that haunted, spooky touch. The effect is chilling and the piece turns out to be an eerie but intriguing musical experience. However, since this is not an out and out horror movie, the fear factor is not allowed to go out of hand. Hats off to the talented duo.
The album ends on a somber note with the philosophical and thought provoking 'Samay Ka Pahiya' (The wheel of time/life), very unlike a V-S composition. The last time they composed something like this was for Tara Rum Pum ('Saiyyan Ve'). This is a situational track that can find usage in the background, especially in tense, emotional sequences. Sukhwinder's high notes in the beginning of the soundtrack convey an important social message that its very important to forgive and only then can one attain salvation.- "Krodh ke bojh ko man pe uthaye kahe chalta hai prani. Chhama jo shatru ko bhi karde. Wohi mukti hai. Wohi gyaani hai." After this the rarely heard but extremely talented Hariharan takes over. The mood and theme of the movie is conveyed through this number, and we come to know that Bhoothnath is not just about a friendly ghost and a child and their adventure and escapades. There is a lot of melodrama and emotional content in the film too. The song has soft traditional musical arrangements and flute, sitar, tabla and synthesizer dominates. V-S show that they are not just about hip-hop but they can compose according to the demands of the movie.
