But Rahman reminds us every now and then that melodies can also be complex, unconventional and yet be scintillating and pleasant to hear. Very easy on ears, quite understandable in the first hearing, and immediately on our lips. We all have heard innumerous melodies offlate. a composition which even Akbar would be proud of. Its just amazing how Rahman brilliantly matches his music with the essence of the situation, the idea, the thought and the event of Glorifying Emperor Akbar. Everything about this song is so perfect, so grand, so appropriately placed, in other words so Rahmanesque. Just when you are already captivated by the mukhda and the very catchy chorus chan chanananana line in the antara and want to keep hearing it again and again, you are grabbed and put right in the middle of battlefield where you hear clanging sounds of swords which form the interlude. In no time the blood starts to gush inside your veins and you feel like going with the crowd Azeem o shaan shehanshah Farmaan awaah.hamesha hamesha salaamat rahe. Right when you hear the sounds of horn followed by the thumping sound of drums, you get transported musically to the era which you've only witnessed in history books. The album opens with Azeem o shaan shehenshaah. I didn't just want to write a review, rather I wanted to share the musical experience of Jodha Akbar, because not so often we come across albums like these. In Jodha Akbar we get to hear ARR in his best creative form who's taken his own time in coming up with some extraordinary music for yet another period film. With the arrival of Lagaan that view changed and I was very happy that ARR had got another good director who has a very good ear for music and who appreciates good soulful music.
There was a time when I felt only Mani Ratnam knew how to extract brilliant music from the Musical Wizard. Its got 5 songs and 2 instrumentals all of which are class apart and beautiful in their own terms. After listening to all the songs including instrumentals, I feel there can be only two words that would be apt to describe the album - Pure and Eternal.Īshutosh and AR Rahman combo has got another winner in this album. However Sony has released it worldwide and believe me, it was totally worth the wait. I believe it got delayed in India for some reason. Huh !! Finally Jodha Akbar's audio has hit the stands.
