After the association of Amitabh Bachchan and Ramesh Behl, which gave us memorable movies like 'Kasme Vaade' and 'Pukar' that boasted of good audio scores, the next generation too is carrying the tradition forward. Yes, we are obviously referring to Abhishek Bachchan and Goldie Behl, who are back again with 'Drona', after the melodious 'Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai'.

The title song 'Drona' announces itself loud and clear. It is inter-spersed with a whole range of delightful melodies, beats and rhythms. The music is highly futuristic with good use of western instruments like the guitar, synthesizer, woodwinds and drums, along with the superb use of plates and beads. The lyrics in the title song convey the fantasy element and the larger than life character of the lead protagonist Drona, through some superbly crafted words. The mukhda itself is spellbinding and makes one anxious to hear more. "Kahin door sehra ke saaye mein. Machna tha koi toofan. Aur ek maseeha ke aane ka. Likh ke gaya elaan, Drona."

Since Dhruv (the composer and singer) is associated with a club called the Blue Frog in Bombay, which is frequented by foreigners, he has used the experience to gather a wide knowledge of worldwide music. In addition, he used it in an excellent way to the credit of the composition. The song should be used extensively by the makers for the promotional aspect of the film as well as the audio. Dhruv excels as both a composer and singer. This one can be labeled as one of the best title songs heard this year.

'Drona- Redux' by Sunidhi Chauhan is another delightful version of the spellbinding title track. Sunidhi is a class act as she renders the number to perfection.
