Dil Ne Jise Aapna Kaha Songs Reviews

Rahman and Himesh Reshamiyya????
Aug 23, 2004 12:14 PM 3409 Views

I am yet to figure out what made the director choose two music composers who have such varied amounts of talents for this movie.On the one hand you have Rahman churning soul soothing numbers and on the other you have Himesh Reshammiya who was better off making compositions for small screen stuff.What makes me pass such a judgement about this guy's talent will be very clear once you buy this album though as is evident from my rating I would advise you not to.


As it is Rahman's music for Sallu's movie!!LEts check this one out.


The first number is Bindiya chamkne lagi .[well I wonder why all Salman movies have this sidey bindiya number, remember bindiya chamke, chudi khanke with Diya mirza playing gaon ki chhori??Okkkk the less said the better]. This is an absolutely mind numbing number which has such ordinary lyrics and such a terrible amalgamation of tunes that you won't listen to it even if you were paid to do so. Rating : avoidable


The second is the title track composed by Rahman.Sung beautifully by both Sujata trivedi and Kamaal Khan.Its a slow number and a soft flute accompaniment typical to Rahman's music.Lyrics are pretty ordinary and I found them pretty cliched-


Shaamo seher chaaron peher


Dhoonda tujhe har jagah


Dil ne jise apna kaha


kho gaya hai woh kahan


soone hain zameen aur aasmaan


Though I can't seem to be able to pinpoint from where these have been lifted but somehow they didn't seem original to me.Moreover, Rahman has been using high pitched and relatively soft voices of Madhushree(Kabhi neem neem fame) and Sujata Trivedi.Though these singers have come up with excellent numbers, I would love to see Rahman using a base voice like that of Shubha Mudgal in his forthcoming compositions. Rating : 3.5/5


The third is my favourite number-Jaane Bahara Jaane tamanna, sure shot winner.Rahman has exploited the ever so natural and melodious voice of Kamaal Khan so well.The way he goes Jaane Bahaara....... graduating to that pitch so smoothly just lifts your spirits.I have always maintained that among the current crop of composers if there is one composer whose music has depth its Rahman and he proves it yet again.


Though Sadhana Sargam has sung the song very well,I find her rendition flat as compared to Kamaal's voice which has a lot of emotion.Just listen to Yun hanste gaate ...part and you want just go out with that someone special to some really romantic place.You are reminded of Kuch Na kaho title track. Rating : 5/5


The fourth is Zindagi hai Dua.A very different number which unless you read the CD cover, would never give you any indication that its a Rahman number. It talks abt life,its bounties and the usual enjoy every moment; live for the moment kinda lyrics and has a refreshingly natural and casual feel to it. Loads of singers some of them absolutely new and all of have done a gr8 job. My favourite phrase : the way Madhushree very casually goes Jee lona,its as if she is talking to you. This singer is going to go places for sure. Rating : 5/5


The other Himesh Reshamiyya numbers are so run of the mill that they just aren't worth commenting upon.For instance, Alisha's resonant voice goes wasted in Go balle balle.Just listen to the background score of any Punjabi pop number and chances are that it will sound exactly like this Balle Balle disaster. Rating for all the others : Not applicable


All in all, since only 3 of them (Rahman numbers) are worth listening to, I would not recommend buying this CD. I just hope directors have the horse sense to not come up with such a horrible kichdi of compositions and composers. Rahman is par excellence and should be left to churn out golden melodies without jarring Himesh Reshamiyyas spoiling the broth.


Dont forget to RRC.


Keerti


P.S The best time to play part applies to Rahman numbers only!!


Where's the Magic?
Aug 15, 2004 07:26 AM 3357 Views

Music: A.R. Rahman & Himesh Reshammiya


This album is the latest by ARR & HR together. I think the album evokes mixed feelings in me. When ARR?s music hit the southern states in 1993, it was an experience none of us can forget. He could make anybody get up and dance crazy, he could bring tears to even the most emotionally strong moviegoer, he could just about do anything with his music.


Just like it was a passion for his fans to hear his tracks, it was for him to craft each one of his songs. Admitting several times that some of the songs took him around 6 months (Azhagu & Netru Illaatha: Pudhiya Mugham) to tune, and retreating into his peaceful music sanctuary, ARR & his music became one. Well, knowing all this, I am hearing to this album. Several things strike me.


First, there is a change in his style of composing. Starting with Tehzeeb, he has got into using light techno-electronic-sounds and a strong Hindustani flavor. Second, for some reason, his songs don?t look like he has spent much time as before. I am just comparing his previous albums with this one. Third, for some reason, I do not like his selection of singers. Kamaal Khan sings most of the songs well, but IMHO, there are much better singers who could have given that ?extra? to the song. Fourth, as an ex-diehard ARR-fan, its my opinion that ARR?s magic is missing. Enough said let?s examine the tracks closely.


Dil Ne Jise


Kamal Khan, Sujata Trivedi


The starting of the track has a soft flute piece. The tunes might remind you of the song ?Dil Hun Hun? (Rudaali). It?s because both the songs are tuned in the Raag-Bhoopali (Carnatic: Mohanam). As you hear to the song, you might also remember the song from Silsila, again because the Raag is the same. Please refer to the comments section for a small description of what a Raag is. The song is also similar to his previous composition Sabaq Aisa, in structure and percussion. The best parts that you should hear are the music interludes.


As expected from the Master composer, they are ingeniously mixed & intricately arranged. The central piece of the composition is a two note pattern played by a base guitar. Flute gives a soft touch, & is often played in low pitch, to contrast with Sujata?s voice. Rhythm is simple, & does not change much & the emphasis is on the vocals. She has sung it excellently. When comparing the two, I liked Sujata?s rendering much better. I am not sure whether Kamaal would have been the best choice, esp. because this number needs a lot of sustained singing.


In other words, the singers have to hold their voices for extended periods of time. In such situations, the singers? voice should slightly vibrate or else it will sound too hard. IMHO, Udit/Abhijeet could have done a much better job. If you listen to their singing, you can appreciate them vibrating their voices when they sing songs which require extended time periods of voice-holding. In fact it is done by most of the professional playback singers and instrumentalists, and is nothing new. You can also appreciate the use of keyboard a lot, I am guessing that it is more of a convenience measure, since ARR is mostly in London, composing for A.L. Webber.


Jaane Bahaara


Kamaal Khan, Sadhna Sargam


This song is tuned partially in Raag Bhimpalasi (Pointed out by my good friend Sainath). The Raag holds (IMHO) only in the first few lines. Then, I guess disappears among the several scale changes. For some reason, the song did not sound special to me. The rhythm is a bit different, with plucking e-guitar sounds mixed with Tabla (?). Kamaal K., does a bit of strained singing, but never falters out of limit. Surprisingly, this ARR song has no exceptions.


Zindagi Hai Dua


Madhushree et al


This song is for the most part ordinary, but good to hear. It features some experimentation, with an innovative percussion piece & a music segment which sounds Greek or Spanish (I did not understand). But it did sound good. The instrument that dominates this track is the trumpet. The rhythm is similar to the one ARR has used in Chaiyya Chaiyya. This is surprising, because the song is a slow. Madhushree dazzles in this song. Overall, the tune is melodious, and well orchestrated. The innovative rhythm and exotic music combination can be heard in the first music interlude. The second musical interlude might remind you of the starting of the song ?Desh Mere?. Trumpet makes it appearance again.


Bindiya Chamakne


Alka Y., Udit N.


The song is a folk number tuned in Raag Yaman (Carnatic: Kalyani), by HR. The other songs tuned in the same raag are Sochenge Tumhe (Deewana), Jaata Hai Tu Kahan (Yes Boss), Is Mod Se (Andhi), & Jeevan Se Bhari (Safar, 1970). Please see comments for a small explanation on Raag.At first, when I heard this song, I did not notice it much, but may be because of my bias towards this raag, I think I liked the tune. Alka Yagnik has started sounding a bit different. The rhythm is typical folk-based and has little variation. With good picturization, this ordinary sounding song could be noticed.


Yeh Dil To


Sonu Nigam, Alka Yagnik


I wish to congratulate Sonu Nigam on his winning the National Award for the Best Male PlayBack Singer (2004). It is well deserved! In an earlier review (on Dev album), I had predicted that he would win an award for the song ?Tuj Sang, but instead, he won it for KHNH-Title song. For me, it doesn?t matter, talent will be noticed, someday! The song is slow, and I felt that it was moulded to sound similar to the title song composed by ARR. The song is conventional, and I think that is an important achievement for HR. Because it marks his cautious progress as a B?wood MD.


Go Balle Balle


KK, Alisha


This is a Punjabi-track. It?s tuned in the raag-Chakravakam (Not 100% sure). You can hear the same raag used in the following songs: Subah Se Lekar Shaam (Mohra), Chingaari Koi Bhadke, Chappa Chappa (Maatchis). Therefore, you might find some similarities between these songs, I will explain it in the comments section. The rhythm is based on conventional Bhangra beats. After hearing it for a few times, I have started liking it. Though Punjabi music is common, especially the particular rhythm pattern is one of the most commonly used one, I guess, HR has succeeded in capturing attention. At someplaces, he uses an Arabic tinge, to give it a distinct feel. To hear that please hear to the lines: ?Hoga Zara Sa?a?a? towards the middle of the song when Alisha takes over. The hyphens represent quick vibrations, which typically used in Arabic musical pieces.


Mere Nas Nas


Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik


This song confirms the slow-melodious spirit set by most of the other numbers in this album. It has Sarangi, playing the starting tune, as well as filling in, in several places during the interlude. The use of male chorus (perhaps with Jayesh) in the beginning, I felt, was an attempt to model ARR?s compositions, so that the album has a common thread. Udit & Alka does a great job controlling their voices. Overall, the song is average.


To conclude this review, I should say, I liked this album moderately. It is worth listening a few times. ARR?s compositions are good, but not exceptional. I am still awaiting for his genius to show up in one of the future albums. HR, on the contrary, is making steady progress as a conventional B?wood MD.


Dil Ne Jise Aapna Kaha... rahman shines!!!
Aug 12, 2004 12:30 PM 5700 Views

After the success of Tere Naam, Salman-Bhumika-Himesh Reshmiyaa- producers Mukesh Talreja and Sunil Manchanda are back again with a brand new flick Dil ne Jise aapna Kaha(DNJAK)..Directed by atul agnihotri..it also stars priety zinta.


There is a lot of excitement when there is an album from A R Rahman?and DNJAK is no exception...


This is the first time ARR has shared an album with another music director. (Though he was a guest composer in Fiza)


In DNJAK A R Rahman has composed 3 tracks while Himesh Reshmiyaa(award winning album Tere Naam) has composed 5 tracks including an instrumental.


Is the album good? Has Rahman delivered good stuff?? Has Himesh equally contributed?? Read on?


Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa


Kamal Khan, Sujata Trivedi


Music by: AR Rahman


Lyrics by: Mehboob


Rating 5/5


The album starts of with the title track DNJAK...Sung by Sujata Tridevi and Kamal Khan..By the way who is Sujata Tridevi??? Is she the one who sang in Tehzeeb (sujata bhaatacharya)??? Confused?After listening both the voices seem to be the same?


Anyways, the Sujata has sung in an amazing manner and well supported by Kamal Khan (remember Oh o Jane jana???)?


The song starts with a beautiful flute piece by naveen followed by sujata?s voice?


There are no beats but only a bass guitar in the first half of the song ?Then the song gets momentum with nice beat and there is a wonderful piano interlude and fantastic orchestration ?The tune is simple but effective?In the later part of the song when Kamal Khan sings there is a shift to a higher octave which is good to hear.


The lyrics from Mehboob (Dhakka Laga Bhukka..lol..from Yuva) are good..


?Dil ne jise aapna kaha


Bekabar who hain waha


Janepar zamin aasman?


Jane Bahara


Kamal Khan, Sadhana Sargam


Music by: AR Rahman


Lyrics by: Mehboob


Rating 5/5


This one is an extremely beautiful song?The tune is very catchy...


The song starts with a beautiful melody then progress with fantastic beats with the lines??yu haste gathe mushkurate guzre hai jo pal aae kal bhi lautkar? simply outstanding?The interlude has also nice tune and this song should go very well with the masses?Kamal Khan has deliverd with utmost perfection and Sadhna Sargam is as usual excellent?The lyrics are wonderful by Mehboob?infact he was the one who spoiled Yuva album but thankfully elevates all the three songs in DNJAK?An instant HIT.


?Jane bahara jane tamana


Mehka diya aashiya


Aankon mein jo sapne te mere


Tumne rang diya?


Zindagi Hai Dua


Madhushree, Pamela Jain, Gayatri, Kartik, Raquib


Music by: AR Rahman


Lyrics by: Mehboob


Rating 4/5


?Zindagi hai dua


rab ki ada


kehke shukriya


jilona!!


Laye they ji kya?


Le jaoge ke bhi kya?


Kehke shukriya jilona!!?


This song requires few hearings to grow on you?


Again a simple tune..infact all the three songs composed by A R Rahman are melodious?Infact I prefer these melody to crazy songs like dol dol?


The lyrics by Mehboob are the highlight in this song and well sung by all the singers?


?rangen hai kabhi berangen hai


kabhi to haste haste aankon ko rulaye


bante hain kabhi bigadti hain


chalte chalte kuch yeh sikaye??Nice one?


Kailesh Kher of allah ke bande fame mentioned in an interview that he along with adnan sami have sung a song for DNJAK?Maybe that song should have been added?


Coming back to the album the rest of the songs composed by Himesh Reshmiyaa are very ordinary and pathetic lyric by the famous sameer?


Meri Nas Nas Mein Tum Ho


Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, Jayesh


Music by: Himesh Reshammiya


Lyrics by: Sameer


Rating 2.5/5


It seems this song will be used in climax... an average stuff by himesh infact his so called award winning album Tere Naam was the most overrated album of 2003?


Udit narayan and alka yagnik are as usual good and have sung it quite easily?


Lyrics are just about ok?no great expectations from this song?


Yeh Dil To Mila Hai


Sonu Nigam, Alka Yagnik


Music by: Himesh Reshammiya


Lyrics by: Sameer


Rating 2/5


Another melody track?after hearing rahman?s track this track won?t appeal much?


Sonu and alka do not get any scope in this song?just another song?


Lyrics and tune are decent..nothing spectacular.


Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha (Instrumental)


Music By: Himesh Reshmiyaa


Rating 3/5


This one is not a instrumental version of the title track?it has different composition by himesh?a nice melody, good job by him


Go Balle Balle


K.K., Alisha Chinoy, Jayesh


Music by: Himesh Reshammiya


Lyrics by: Sameer


Rating 3.5/5


Now a days it is must to have a Punjabi track..and himesh doesn?t disappoint?


Thumbs Up for this lovely energetic track and will appeal youngsters..


Lyrics by sameer are nothing new?infact the lyrics are remix of 2-3 popular Punjabi tracks?KK is too good and well supported by alisha and background vocals from jayesh is also worth mentioning?Sure HIT


Bindiya Chamakne Lagi


Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik


Music by: Himesh Reshammiya


Lyrics by: Sameer


Rating 4/5


This song will be the next chartbuster? a wedding dance number which will appeal to all sections of the people?udit and alka are amazing?catchy tune from himesh an instant HIT?


It seems that songs by A R Rahman are picturised on salman-bhumika and that of himesh on salman-bhumika?


On the whole an average attempt from Himesh?wish rahman could have composed more songs?


Buy this album if you are a rahman fan!!!!!


Final Rating 3.25/5
