What’s Your Rashee? – Music Review
Almost all of Ashutosh Gowariker's movies have been identified with strong themes and wonderful music composed by Mozart from Madras, A R Rahman. But surprisingly this time, his movie ‘What’s Your Rashee’ does not have Rahman as composer. A new composer Sohail Sen has been roped in to compose music for this much anticipated movie. And needless to say, the chap has done a commendable job. The movie has Priyanka Chopra and Hurman Baweja in lead roles and movie was released recently. It’s a three hour long movie and has generated quite a buzz.
New composer Sohail Sen is the son of Sameer sen, himself a leading composer. The movie has wonderful songs belonging to different genres. There are romantic songs. Folk tunes, pacy numbers and rabic songs as well. Overall, this seems to be a good package. The film has total 134 songs and one song each for 12 zodiac signs (as per the theme of movie). Even Gowariker has sung in the movie.
The album starts with soft number and already a hit among masses ‘Jao na’. The composer Sen himself has sung the song along with Tarannum Malik. Definitely a pleasing song, it is intriguing as well. Young generation is sure to be appealed by the theme of the song. The next one is ‘Aaja lehrate’ sung by Shaan and Bhavya Pandit. Fast in nature, the song is quite peppy. However, it will fail to keep your attention for long.
‘Bikhri bikhri’ is the next song rendered by Sohail Sen and Marianne D. Cruz. Quite a soft and soothing song. Next in the list is ‘Mannunga mannunga’ that has been rendered by director Ashutosh Gowariker himself. The next track is ‘Sau janam’ which is basically a love ballet sung by Udit Narayan, Madhushree and Sen. Definitely one of the best songs of the album.
‘Aa le chal’ is the next one sung by Aslesha Gowariker which is an average one. Next in the list is ‘Pyaari pyaari’ sung by Alka Yagnik and Sen. A melodious song. ‘Su Che’ is sung by Sen and Bela Shende and is a fast-paced. ‘Salone kya’ is more into Arabic mould.
