Music Review: Jodhaa Akbar

 

Film: Jodhaa Akhbar

 

Director: Ashutosh Gowariker

 

Producer: Ronnie Screwvala and Ashutosh Gowariker

 

Music Director: A R Rahman

 

Lyrics: Javed Akhtar

 

Rating: 4/5

 

They are the same instruments every musician experiments with, but when A R Rahman lays his fingers on them, he creates pure magic! His music is not only incomparable and magnetic, but also brings situations to life. Guru won innumerable accolades for its romantic and saltation mix. The ace musician has crossed all levels of being tested; he now dishes out work which pushes him to another level. His set benchmark is difficult for any musician to equal. With Jodhaa Akhbar, he redefines music and how!

 

Azeem-o-Shaan Shahenshah (Click the link to view the lyrics of the song) is a song describing King Akbar and his Excellency. The music is strong and rhythmic, both at the same time. Javed Aktar's lyrics bring out a true picture of King Akbar and the love for India. Where music is played with only instruments, this song has music coming from vocals. Mohammed Aslam Bony Chakravarthy and the chorus voices have commoved the feel of the music. It has a tinge of the epic Mughal- E- Azam.

 

If romance had to be given another name, it would be Rahman's Jashn–e-Bahara (Click the link to view the lyrics of the song).  Undoubtedly the music weaves the lyrics and vocals, but in intervals the latter overpowers the soulful music. Javed Saab's words are from heaven. Only he can think of poetry so unusual and sorcerous. Javed Ali's voice sounds neat and very rhythmical. It seems like a recitation from someone who is deeply and madly in love. The second verse makes you fall in love with the creation all over again. With the light fine-tuned music floating alongside, this is the best song in the album without a second thought.

 

The combination of Rahman on the keyboard and singing in his unconventional style gets better with every composition. Khwaja Mere Khwaja (Click the link to view the lyrics of the song), a devotional track in the literary sense is crooned by the man himself. This song will take some time to grow on Rahman lovers. His voice blends with the emotional touch of the song. 'Dil mein samaja, Behason ki takdeer, tune hai Sawaari … Khwaja mere khwaja' these words take you to another world of music.

 

The meaning is the same and so are the lyrics. What is different about In lamhon Ke Daaman Mein (Click the link to view the lyrics of the song) is its presentation and music. Sonu Nigam makes it an effortless sequence. Madhushree's voice gels well with the pleasant music and Sonu's soothing vocals.

 

This one is not sure to be a hit with music buffs. Man Mohana (Click the link to view the lyrics of the song) is a gloomy song sung by Jodhaa and is a form of story telling. Bela Shenda does a brilliant job in keeping the track emotional and not messing up with the high pitched notes. 

 

Jashn-e-bahaaraa's instrumental is a must! One wonders the beauty flute and how it creates a magical environment. This track is irresistible. Another comforting instrumental is that of Khwaja mere khwaja, it's played on the Oboe. 

 

Rahman loyalists will love the music and so will the others. It's larger than life image will overpower every release this season. It has the evergreen flavour which comes only with Rahman music!

Jodhaa Akbar a challenge for music maestro Rahman

MUMBAI (Reuters) - For composer A. R. Rahman, the biggest challenge in "Jodhaa Akbar" was creating music that could echo the union of cultures in the period film -- the story of 16th century Mughal emperor Akbar's romance with a Rajput princess.

"Story wise it is about two cultures coming together in a love story," said Rahman. "It was a big challenge for me to compose music keeping in mind this theme of union."

Known for his musical versatility -- from romantic compositions to foot-tapping numbers -- Rahman has innovated with different instruments and sounds to create some of India's best known musical hits for more than a decade.

But for filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker's ambitious project, the Bollywood composer said he had kept the modern day audience in mind.

"The sounds and songs are very contemporary," said Rahman. "It is a period film but I have not gone into using Rudraveena or those classical instruments while composing."

"The music is simple - mainly instruments and vocals and there's no flashy use of sounds."

AR Rahman on music release of Jodha Akbar

Speaking on the music, A R Rahman comments "It has always been a pleasure to associate with Ashutosh on his projects. We started off with Lagaan and then Swades, both of which gave me immense creative satisfaction as a composer. It was an honour that Jodhaa Akbar was offered to me."

AR Rahman for music release of Subash ghais new film

Ace music composer AR Rahman and renowned filmmaker Subhash Ghai created a masterpiece when they teamed up to create the music of ' Taal '. May be that's the reason why Ghai chose to invite Rahman to launch the music of his forthcoming film, ' Black and White ' in Mumbai. Rahman being Ghai's lucky mascot, only time will tell if his presence will add to the magic of Ghai's trademark soulful music...

"I have introduced so many actresses in my films. This time around I am launching an actor. Anubhav Sinha, a talented youngster who won a TV reality show which was a hunt for budding actors, will be seen in my film. I have cast him with Anil Kapoor. Black and White is a low budget film but directed by me with absolute passion and honesty", said the director.

"As far as the music is concerned, to bring out the colourful music in the framework of ' Black and White ' has been a big test for me this time. But the in-depth melodies composed by Sukhwinder and lyrics by Ibrahim Ashq shall meet the expectations of music lovers and my fans I am sure. You need to listen carefully to the music of Black and White to feel it. It's like ecstasy! It grows on you", added the filmmaker about the music.

Knowing his keen sense of music and the chartbusters that his films have given, we are waiting with baited breath to listen to the music of Black and White .

Note: The film has music by
Sukhvinder Singh

RAP: Hey, here we go. I'm ripped up on the match.

Just singing Rhythm hit the hop. Once again, in

effect, feel the kids (kiss?) come slamming off

the baseline, never mess around with a phone call

because I'm sticking, kicking, always finger

licking. I don't need Halloween just to be trick

or treating, because I'm always on top. Ibikado-

Mulaayam mulaayam si neeli neeli raat hai

Thapakti hai is dil ko, yaadein kayeen

Yaadon ke paalne mein koyi khoyi khoyi baat hai

Woh nindiya ab aake tu, meri di thi lori gaake

Mere khoye sapne dikhlaade haay

Yaadon ka palna jhula dein

Aahista aahista, aahista aahista

Mehki hawa ki reshmi chaadar, kaho toh bichha doon

Neel gagan se chaand ko leke, takiya bana doon

Chaandni laake, tumko odhhaake

Main gungunaaun geet koyi

Us pal hi, chupke se, phir nindiya 

Aa jaaye

Palkon pe jaise thhaher jaaye oh…

Meethhi meethhi nindiya aaye

 

Aahista aahista, aahista aahista

Nindiyatu aa, in do nainon mein

Halke se holle se

Kuch sapne bhole se

Nindiya tu laa, in do nainon mein 

Bahe soyi soyi jaise, saari hawaayein

Sama bhi hai soya soya sa

Nindiya re, nindiya re, tu mere angna re 

Aaja re…

Aaja re…

In jhukti palkon pe, chhaa jaa re

Aahista aahista

Aahista aahista
