Music Review:
One Kapoor is good. Two Kapoors? Too good! In fact, it doesn't get better and bigger than this.
Rishi and Neetu Kapoor's son, Ranbir and Anil Kapoor's daughter, Sonam make their grand debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's opulent love story, Saawariya. To make matters even more starry, Salman Khan and Rani Mukerji pitch in as well.
Going by promos and rumours Saawariya, which releases on the same day (November 9) as another monster-size biggie, Om Shanti Om, is a Moulin Rouge (A Baz Luhrmann movie) meets White Nights (A Fyodor Dostoevsky short story) brand of spectacle. How true is that? Will Ranbir and Sonam live up to their illustrious Kapoor surname? Can Sanjay Leela Bhansali beat himself at the magnificence game? This Diwali, you get all the answers. Meanwhile here's a look at the soundtrack.
Khamoshi, HDDCS & Devdas. Sanjay Bhansali is known for his impeccable taste in music. Add to this the immense hype surrounding his latest offering ‘Saawariya’ and claims that the songs resulted from 2 years of hard work by debutant composer Monty Sharma. Expectations are bound to be sky high.
The album starts off with the title track ‘Saawariya’. Sung by new comer Shail Hada, this one’s all fun and frolic. With a contemporary feel, it is short and sweet.
Shaan takes over the mic with ‘Jab Se Tere Naina’. A candy floss number on qawwali base, it’s a decent hear.
Kunal Ganjawalla opens ‘Masha-Alla’ in his trade mark style. Shreya Ghosal makes her presence felt in the accompanying aalaaps. A simple slow number.
‘Thode Badmash’ reflects a girl’s thoughts about her loved one, with music credited to Bhansali. A good composition, sung superbly by Shreya Ghosal.
Parthiv Gohil makes a confident debut in ‘Yoon Shabnami’. This one begins slow but soon picks up tempo. One of the better tracks in the album.
‘Daras Bina Chain’ can be called the Theme music of Saawariya. The powerful vocals of Richa Sharma, Shail Hada & Parthiv Gohil make this one a good piece, though it has shades of Devdas theme.
Shreya returns for another solo, ‘Sawar Gayi’. Without much orchestration, this one rides on Shreya’s excellent rendition alone.
The first duet comes in the form of ‘Jaan-E-Jaan’ teaming Kunal & Shreya. Weighed down by heavy chorus, it has nothing to write home about.
‘Pari’ is yet another number by Kunal. Sung in his usual flamboyant style it’s an ordinary tune.
‘Chhabeela’ is in comparison a fast paced number. Reminiscent of some early 90’s songs, nothing’s special about this one. Alka Yagnik’s strained vocals do not help as wel
