Music reviews of Om Shanti Om
Music Review: The music of Om Shanti Om is variety personified.
Rating: 5 Stars
Om Shanti Om, the magnum opus by Farah Khan, can be best described as visually appealing and sonically delightful.
After the spectacular success of Chak De, King Khan stars with the stunning Deepika Padukone, in the year's most awaited big banner release.
The young dynamic duo of Vishal and Shekhar has proved their mettle with this album, which is sure to put their detractors on the defensive.
The conventional sounds, coupled with the unconventional with a smooth grace, the music of Om Shanti Om , is variety personified.
Dard-e-Disco: This scorching number has Sukhwinder Singh crooning the lyrics penned by Javed Akhtar. The track has recently hit the screens and is making waves owing to the new chiselled avatar of Shahrukh Khan.
The song per se, as far as the lyrics go, is average since it strikes you as nonsensical at times. The track redeems itself with the power-packed vocals and a foot-tapping score.
Though the song is an instant chartbuster, it will not qualify as a discerning music-lover's delight. Visually speaking, watching King Khan emerging out, with water streaming down his perfect, much talked about six-pack abs leaves you gasping for more.
One can spend hours waxing eloquent about this visual treat, which comes to you courtesy Farah Khan.
Ajab Si: The clincher for the album grows on you. It has the immensely talented Kay Kay lending his golden voice to this composition, which can be best described as unconventional.
The song is a perfect amalgamation of mellifluous sounds, which render it a sheer ethereal flavour. It's an irresistible piece of melody that lingers on long after one has heard it.
Dastaan-e-Om Shanti Om: A high voltage track that is set in the mode of dramatic narration has Shaan lending his vocals for it.
The track sounds like a rehashed version of the song Ek Haseena Thi from the classic Rishi Kapoor-starrer Karz. The similarity is too obvious to miss. The composition can be best described as average and purely situational. The orchestration and the rising crescendo of music serve the purpose for the song's narrative style.
Dhoom Taana: It's a number that takes you on a trip down the memory lane into the effervescent era of 70's and early 80's. Shreya Ghosal and Abhijit successfully lend the track a nostalgic touch, which is the USP of the composition. Dhol and jhankaar beats come together to create this aesthetically appealing score, which will be a praiseworthy chartbuster.
Deewangi Deewangi: The much-awaited song which reportedly boasts of an ensemble cast and an array of stars has Shaan, Udit Narayan, Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan and Rahul Saxena coming together to create an instant chartbuster. The track has its melody quotient in place and not even once succumbs to a dull moment. The festive spirit of the number is heady and raises expectations for an apt visual representation.
Main Agar Kahoon: It's a serene and sweet romantic number, which stands apart from the overriding festive feel of the album. The track is reminiscent of old romantic songs sung by the inimitable Rafi. Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghosal do justice to the composition, which is mellow and strikes a chord within you. The rendition sadly lacks the punch, which might result in it being categorized by some as painfully limp.
Jag Soona Soona Lage: An immensely talented Raahat Fateh Ali Khan croons this number, which is right up his alley. Richa Sharma lends the sufiyana style score, her powerful voice and sets the theme of the song with an alaap in the beginning. Pain of separation forms the backdrop for the novel track.
The album includes various remixes to cater to niche listeners. Dard-e-Disco's remix version along with Dastaan - The Dark Side Mix and a medley mix of Om Shanti Om will appease those who hanker after party music.
The melodic theme music completes the collage of musical genres which best describes the collection. Vishal and Shekhar surprise you with their creativity which spells sure shot success of Om Shanti Om's music.
