Aye bachchu
The song begins with a radio remix effect,gets rocking in and comes to the point where Rahman proves he is still the King when it comes to guitars.Electrifying usage of the instrument really-in different ways each being exceptional .The rendition of Suzanne adds the spice needed to make the song an instant pick of the album.
Ghuzarish
It begins with Sonu nigam s hum, followed by a tune akin to airtel/idea adJ but any similarity ends there.With a constant soothing loop running in the background,the song flows non-chalantly.One for melody lovers.
Behka
This song wonderfully rendered by Karthik is full of vigor,jazz and razzmattaz.There is distinct usage of drums, sax that makes it very interesting.The sudden sax interlude involving the humming of Guzarish is a pleasant surprise.The song,somehow reminds me of Main aisa kyun hoon(Lakshya).
Kaise Mujhe
This one sung by Benny dayal and Shreya is a typical Rahman melody.With beats that donot distract,tune that is serene.Hard to miss a semblance to Yedho yedho onru from E20U18.This song will get into Rahman s repertoire that can spoil your sleep when you are alone.
Kaise Mujhe (Instrumental)
A fitting instrumental version to the original song combined with apt chorus humming.The flute interlude in the middle is a special addition.The way the song allows one s mind to meander between excitement and tranquility shows the Rahman stamp in it.
Lattoo
To me this is the laddoo in the album.A laddoo that I am not so impressed with.There s an exception-The ‘yaar,yaar’ part remains in mind even after the song ends.Some ilayaraja touch there.And some Harris jayaraj touch when guys utter ‘mazari mazara zimbabwe!’Shreya somehow holds this song together.

To sum it up, Ghajni will appeal to the youth for its vibrance,to the melody seekers and any Rahman fan would feel it a prized possession.Rahman continues his rich form that he got into,maybe,when he composed for Roja!Hail the maestro.
yeah nice review... unable to decipher abt a few fine details u have said about.... have heard it only a couple of times... actually i liked latoo the most... and is it only me who feels that the original ghajni soundtrack was superior... opinion subject to change.... coz have heard this one only for a few times.. as my friend says ... arr songs grow on you... have to wait and see..
ReplyDeleteYa..definitely the songs grow on u..whereas Harris s music catches the attention in the first listen..
ReplyDeleteAlso it is fair to say that Tamil ghajini was better..afterall,it was Harris' best album whereas this is just another album for Rahman:)
lattoo lattoo is my fav. too ...
ReplyDeleteshreya ghosal has an arresting , charming and sexy voice ...
bekha bekha has karthik at his surprising best .. the sax interludes are damn good ... ring tone material ...
guzarish ll be the huge cult hit ..
