Raam Leela- Music Review by Shoby

Raam Leela- Music Review by Shoby

4 Stars out of 5

Music and Direction: Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Lyrics: Siddharth-Garima

Talking about the music of the Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next directorial venture Raam Leela. Yes, we all know that Bhansali sb has always come up with exceptional sound tracks for his music and all of his earlier films had blockbuster music. So its natural for the expectation to rise even more, when he is coming up with a hardcore romance-musical drama. Lets see, what Bhansali sb has in store for us this time.

In Guzarish, SLB himself composed soulful music along with Shail Hada and this time Bhansali sb has once again proved his mettle as a composer.

Starting off with the much talked-about, Garba track, which I would love to call as rebirth of Dholi Taaro. This time its titled as Nagada Sang Dhol. As the name suggests, this one has a beautiful mix of Nagadas and Dhol beats. Shreya has done it for Bhansali, what Kavita did in HDDCS. Agession is what it needed to depict and how beautifully Shreya has coupled with the beats. Just one word Exceptional.

Tattad Tattad is a high voltage, fully loaded track, that acquaints you with the main protagonist Raam. Aditya Narayan has done the justice. This one is really an ultimate party number. Ready yourself to groove with the tune.

Ang Laga De starts of almost the way Sanwar Gai (Saanwariya) started. Sweet and soothing to ears. It takes your soul to another world. Lyrics are very poetic. Raat Banjar Si Hai, Kaley Khanjar Si Hai, Tere Seeney Ki Lau, Mere Andar Bhai Hai. U will definitely love it.

Dhoop is another slow tempo track, that heavily relies on composition and beautiful lyrics. Awesome instrumental arrangements especially the Shehnai part in-between, makes the whole proceedings very serene.

Ishqyan Dishqyaun has oncer again the son of legendary Udit Narayan, Aditya lending his voice. This one prepares you for the main event. It sets your mood and readies you to expect what really this film is all about. Ya To Nazren Laraon, Ya Main Khud Mar Jaon, Ishq Yeh Tera Mera, Ishqyaun k Dishqyaun.

This year's most favourite singer Arijit takes the mic for yet another power packed track Laal Ishq. Lyrics, Composition, Arrangement, Singing, everything is set almost falw-less. This one has the ability to be another Yun Shabnami or Masha ALLAH. U can do nothing except loving this ever lovely track. Lyrics are very much inspired from Gulzar sb style. Yeh Kali Raat Jakar Loon, Yeh Thanda Chand Pakar Loon. Wah... Superb!

Lahu Munh Lag gaya is more of a situational track, that will surely make its presence felt, once witnessed it in the movie. Mor Bani Thangat Kare is a regional language song that has the feel of manmohini (HDDCS).

And my most favorite pf the lot is the exceptional Poorey Chaand. Awsome lyrics and amazing composition. After Chand chupa badal mein (HDDCS), Woh Chand Jaisi Larki (Devdas), Dekho Channd Aya (Saanwariya) and Chand Ki Katori mein (Guzaarish), this is yet another Chaand Number from a Bhansali's movie. I feel, this will be another non-lip-sync track, just like Bahon k darmaiyan, aankhon ki gustakhian, bairi piya, Jaan e Jaan and Tera Zikr. These non-lip-sync tracks are another usp of SLB.

Raam Chahe Leela is another energetic number, most probably the one which would work as the much talked about item.
    
On the whole, this album really strikes the right chord and has a mix  of nice classy and trendy tracks. Bhansali sb has surely come up with one grand master sound track.
