Ekk Deewana Tha Music Review

Ekk Deewana Tha Music

Music Director : A R Rahman

Hindi version of Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya, which was a stupendous score.!

Mohobbat : Sung by ARR, catchy tune. Minimal arrangements. Good listen.

Dost hai : By Naresh Iyer, Arya nd Jaspreet. Naresh is beautiful. Loved the raps. Tamil version was better. Still good.

Aromale : By Alphonse. Cult! Classic. No words. Beautiful.! Tamil version was better.

Hosanna ; By Leonne D'Souza nd Suzzane D'Mello. Grt piece of music. Good singing. Lyrics seems to be forced. Tamil version was better.

Phoolon Jaisi : By Clinton Cerejo nd Kalyani Menon. Hindi version of 'Omanapenne'. Average. It don't have the flow or the 'Omanatham'(or loveliness in Malayalam) in the lyrics. Good singing. Tamil version was better.

Sharminda Hoon : By Madhusree nd ARR. Hindi version of 'Mannipayya". Sweet nd Romantic. Good arrangements. Soulful tune. Go for it.

Sunlo Zara : By Rashid Ali nd Shreya Ghoshal. Wedding song. Grt singing by Rashid nd Shreya. Melodious nd chorus is catchy.

Zohra-Jabeen : By Javed Ali. Slow nd soulful. Javed does a good work. Still Karthik was better in Tamil version in terms of emotional quotient.

Broken Promises : By Shreya Ghoshal. This one's a gem!. With Shreya crooning a sombre, emotional nd nostalgic version of Aromale, rich in classical content, in an unplugged manner. It stands out in the entire album. Grt!! Grt!!

Moments in Kerala : By Prabhakar. Keyboard nd Violin. Perfect for nighttime hearing. Good.

Jessie's Land : By Megha. A light humming of Hosanna. Soothing.

Jessie's driving me crazy : Sanjeev Thomas nd Timmy. Complete hard rock. Grt arrangements. Good listen.

So overall its a superb album. Vinnaithandi Varuvaya was a fantastic one. The minuses in this Hindi version is its lyrics which seems unfitting in some songs nd unnecessary additions to the original. Maybe an independent reviewer who hasn't heard VTV may find it better. Any way go for it.!

3.5/5
