Dedh Ishqiya Music Review
Music Direction : Vishal Bhardwaj
What I expected? : For me, Vishal Bhardwaj has shown amazing consistency in
his soundtracks. And because the total grand affair Ishqiya music was, winning
the National awards for both Best Music Direction and Best Female Singer that
year, expectations, from the sequel, are naturally high!
Dil Ka
Mizaaj Ishqiya is scintillating, tailor made Rahat Fateh Ali Khan material!
The soothing tune and the soft rock arrangements which amalgamates with
accordion sound initially and Sax along midway adds to the beauty! #Repeat
Zabaan Jale
Hai is drop-dead brilliant! Equally mesmerizing is the serene
composition, beautifully written lyrics, terrific strings and the wonderfully
nuanced singing from Fateh Ali Khan's part! #MustHear #Repeat
Hamari
Atariya's very very Rahman-ish intro captivates subtly well and rightly
so, Rekha Bhardwaj aces the mujra track! #Repeat
Kya Hoga has
everything going strong. The qawwali sound is executed exceptionally well and
the vocalists, Jazim Sharma, Master Saleem, Shahid Mallya and Jamal
Akbar are competitive enough, or rather, compliments each other
perfectly. The instrumentation, replete with Tabla, Harmonium and other traditional
instruments elevates an enchanting midway turn! #Repeat
Jagaave
Saari Raina, for a Kathak track, is as beautiful as it can get
especially for the tempting sitar interludes and Ms. Bharadwaj's
singing. Now the song is predominantly Hindustani in appeal, but somewhere
along the lines, must be the swaram portions, there is a definite Carnatic feel
which is BTW cleverly incorporated. #Repeat
Horn OK Please has Sukhwinder Singh and Honey Singh rocking together the techno-folk piece! #Repeat

Verdict : Needless
to say, faith in Mr. Bhardwaj's musical capabilities are, once again, cemented
and anchored down strong! Dedh Ishqiya is a bravo effort, one of Vishal's best
and for me in par with both Godmother and Ishqiya. I strained my ears to find
one little flaw, alas, but in vain! I don't care whether the soundtrack works
in the movie or not but for sure the music audience are in for a treat this
time. Vishal Bhardwaj gives the 2014
Bollywood music scene a classy and heady start! Excellent!
Must Hears! : The
whole album!
