Music review of "GULAAL"

Lyric By: Piyush Mishra.

Singers : Rahul Ram, Shilpa Rao, Swanand Kirkire, Piyush Mishra, Rekha Bharadwaj, Aushim

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's latest movie "Gulaal" boasts of thought-provoking renditions. The songs are different, original and have substance. The album is a heady cocktail of diverse genres and innovations.

"Aarambh", a song soaked in the expression of revolution, sets the adrenalin pumping with its fast pace and hard hitting vocals by Rahul Ram. The musical arrangements are Indian to the core with the sounds of sitar, tabla, trumpets and bells dominating the number. This is not the kind of music you will hear every day.

The highlight of the next song "Aisi Sazaa" is the deep and enchanting voice of Shilpa Rao. The composition touches a chord and stays with the listener for long. The use of thunder and rain add to the song's mood. This poignant rendition is sure to create a niche for itself. Rekha Bharadwaj is up next with "Beedo", an energetic rustic song with the feel of a mujra. The song might not become a chartbuster but is surely worth listening to.

Next comes "Duniya", which can be called a rare work in terms of treatment. Piyush Mishra takes over the vocals too in this number and does a good job with his baritone voice. It has a classical touch and is impressive. "Raat ke musafir" gives us music that we haven't heard in years. It is a haunting number that lets the singer's voice take centre-stage. The song rides high on the powerful yet seductive vocals by Rahul Ram. "Raat..." is what brilliant compositions are made of.

Like "Beedo", "Ranaji" too explores the folk genre and falls in the category of a mujra. But this one is contemporary and wacky. With unusual lyrics and some brilliant singing by Rekha Bhardwaj, the song will surely attract attention.
