Meaningful and thoughtful cinema is fast emerging as the
first choice among multiplex viewer's and it has ushered bountiful
of prodigal talents in the tinsel town. A WEDNESDAY, a thought-provoking
celluloid work by debutante Neeraj Pandey is one such big
example where potential talents have made it in the marquee.
Sanjoy Chowdhury, an emerging background scorer (SUPERSTAR,
ROCKY-THE REBEL) makes his first splash as solo music composer
with couple of impressive soundtracks. Lately there have been
musical surprises in this low budget genre flicks (ANWAR,
AAMIR, MANORAMA SIX FEET UNDER etc) and this too joins the
league. Does Sanjoy Chowdhary prove to be next potential name
in the listing of fast emerging music directors? Let's check
this out!
Gulzar's prosily ground-breaking work ''Chhayya Chhayya''
(DIL SE) and lately Rabbi Shergill's ''Bulle Ki Jaan'' was
the notable melodic attributes that pioneered the lyrical
finesse of great poet ''Bulle Shah'' in the marquee. This
Sufi traditionalism gets major boost in the introductory track,
''Bulle Shah'', a meaningful melancholic number that glorifies
philosophical verses of this great philanthropist with a social
relevance in its well scripted lyrical contents, impressive
vocals and engrossing ''fusion'' based music. New talent Tochi's
modulating baritones in varying moods is sheer delight to
ears that makes semblance of imposing background score for
the flick. Sanjoy Chowdhury's musical prowess is emanated
with a great promise as his melodic works in Sufi undertones
invigorates the feel of identifying oneself in the world.
Irshaad Kamil's immaculate command over the linguistic verbose
comes out as the catalyst that carries the poignantly realistic
sentiments to many dimensions. ''Bulle Shah (remix)'' carries
the pep and zing to lure pop genre listeners but works impressively
as effective promotional feature soundtrack with mild hearted
DJ mixing and thumping impulse.
Shaan's energetically vociferous binge in ''Jalwa'', a belligerently
orchestrated rock number comes out as another thematically
conspicuous number. Its rebellious tones in loud rock musical
mode speak volume about the ''jalwa'' (wonder) that comes
from one gallantry of a common man in a stream of millions.
Chowdhary's changes genres from Sufi fusion to rock music
impressively with great command over energizing percussive
elements and imposing thunderous marching impacts. It's two
in a row from this album that makes maximum impact to create
a feel of realistic action potboiler and deservedly depicts
the great melodic team-effort.After two remarkable solo soundtracks,
the musical tinge loses its serration and sheen in mediocre
sounding ''Nazar Lage Na'', an outdated number by Mahalaxmi
Iyer and Shaan. This sluggishly paced romantic number unravels
70's era with placidly played arrangements and routine lyrics.
Do enjoy some remarkable singing by both Shaan and Mahalaxmi
but the composition disappoints completely in its sullen rendition.
It's time for some really Indi-Pop rock musical stuff that
comes in the inspiring voices of Shaan in ''yuppie'' loving
soundtrack ''Parwazen''. Despite its urbane-cool rock musical
impulse in guitar strumming, it maintains the motivational
touches in melancholically profound lyrical and vocal rendition.
The remarkable concoction of saxophones and keyboard notes
with hand claps in a true blue rock mode might be eye-catching
to make it as one noticeable soundtrack. ''Parwazen'' could
have been promising attribute in any of Shaan's Indi-Pop albums
but still works well in this situation and adds one more impressive
addition in Sanjoy Chowdhary's kitty from this album.
''Bekaali'', a loud and unimpressive song in the voice of
prodigal Javed Ali shows the ultimate dearth of melodic works
of this album. Chowdhary's music disappoints completely with
its lackluster 80's music where gifted singer like Javed Ali
sounds wasted.
