Post the super success of 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' and 'Devdas', two names, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ismail Durbar, have become synonymous. The sheer magic of their creativity was reflected in the musical offerings of both those movies. Even SLB's debut movie, 'Khamoshi-The Musical' had a score that touched the hearts of music lovers and can be regarded as one of Jatin-Lalit's best album till date. The critically acclaimed 'Black', by the young composer Monty, is still remembered for its haunting background score and it gave us ample insight into his immense potential as a composer. No wonder SLB chose him over Ismail Durbar. Let us see how very wise this move turns out to be.
Simple and light guitar strumming is the perfect beginning to the enchanting title track, 'Saawariya'. Aptly titled, the song showcases two of the most promising youngsters of the coming generation, Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor. To term it a light, frothy love song would belittle this marvel by Monty, as its much more than a mere love ballad. The effervescent musical arrangements, comprised of guitar, organ sounds and beads, simply blows the listeners over. Sameer's lyrics are simple and will strike a chord with the young GenX. The English lyrics too are sweet and will also be loved by the youth. But the real star of the show is Shail Hada, whose soft, youthful, unique and 'always-in-perfect-control' vocals are a delight. The way he renders this fantastic composition is just awesome. His 'yodeling' in late Kishore da style is superb and gets one nostalgic. A gem of a composition, one that that will have the die-hard romantic over the moon. Check out the lyrics - "Doli mein bitha ke, Sitaron se sajake, Zamane se churake, Lejayega ek roz tera udake jiya, Saawariya, Ho Saawariya."
Shail Hada is Ranbir's voice in 'Saawariya' just like Shailendra Singh was in 'Bobby' for Ranbir's dad, Rishi Kapoor. Will history repeat itself here? If the first composition is any indication, the answer is a definite YES!
A rock style start (reminiscent of the song in the dining table scene from 'Hum Dil De Chuke', where Salman Khan breaks into a song), along with canned applause, commences the 'Saawariya Reprise'. A unique fusion of rock and classical style singing follows. Shail Hada gets to showcase his superb control over his vocals through this brilliant piece. This one is totally different in body and spirit from the original. The applause in the beginning and the end shows that this is a situational, performance number, in front of an audience. All credit to the composer and the singer. Simply mind-blowing! |
