Ashutosh
Gowariker's patriotic movies are still
fresh in memory. Be it Lagaan or Swades,
he definitely makes sure he instills ‘patriotism’
in the audience. Though his movies had
Rahman's music in the past, he has given
this responsibility to Sohail Sen, who
did a decent job in Ashutosh's previous
movie What’s your Rashee. Since
this is a periodical movie, there is quite
a bit of interest to know how the album
sounds like. The lyrics for the songs
have been handled by none other than the
legendary Javed Akhtar.

Yeh
Des Hai Mera...
Vocals: Sohail Sen
Sung
by Sohail Sen himself, Yeh Des Hai Mera is a slow
number. Probably a song on the unity of people in
that era, this song reminds us of a few such numbers
in the past. A very distinct reference can be made
to Swades! Though not a bad song to start the album,
‘Yeh Des Hai Mera’ certainly sets the
mood for the rest of the songs that follow.
Naiyn Tere... 
Vocals: Pamela Jain and Ranjini Jose
There is an immediate connection to Naiyn Tere with
the arrangement of sounds. The song is fresh with
Pamela Jain and Ranjini Jose making it as lovely as
possible. This is about the friends questioning each
other about their love interests. Lovely number which
makes us live the past!
The sad version of the same song, with just Pamela
Jain's humming with instruments is worth a listen
too!
Khele Hum Jee Jaan Sey...
Vocals: Members from Suresh Wadkar
music academy
The quiet and intriguing first few moments mislead
us to a different place not after the chorus of the
young kids makes you say ‘wow’. The song
which defines the album, Khele Hum Jee Jaan Sey is
an absolute treat to listen to. The whistle interlude
in the middle gives us maximum joy. With very neat
and inspirational music, this one is sure to stay
at the Top 10 for a while. Should be loved by all!
Sapne
Saloney ...
Vocals: Sohail
Sen and Pamela Jain
Are you a fan of melodies? Sapne Saloney is for you.
With music reminiscent to the 70s and 80s, Sapne Saloney
takes time to get inside you. But when it does, it
is hard to forget this song! Basic arrangements with
no western influences make this even more appealing.
Javed's Sapne and Sohail & Pamela's voices have
us plugged to this song.
Vande
Maataram...
Vocals: Cine singers' association
chorus group
With Sanskrit lyrics translated to Hindi, Vande Maataram
would not be new to people who have watch the movie's
trailer. With the right amount of enthusiasm, Cine
singers' association chorus group does deliver a high
energy song to rejuvenate us. This again seems to
be a situational song and hence can appeal once the
movie is released.
The shorter version of the same song with a violin
orchestra has been neatly recorded.
Instrumentals
The album shifts to instrumental mode after this where
Sohail Sen showcases his ability. While 'Long Live
Chittagong' carries exuberance, 'The Teenager's Whistle'
makes you smile yet again. The mood becomes reflective
of the movie and warrants us to engage in the proceedings.
The whistle at the beginning and the flute in the
middle are soothing to the ears.
We are made to mourn for 'Surjya's Sorrow' when the
flute, strings and chorus merge together. Sohail deserves
a pat on the back for this one! There is a sudden
mood change with 'The Escape'. We suddenly become
curious to see what this is all about and that is
the success of this instrumental. 'Revolutionary Comrades'
sums up the album and by far the movie as well. What
can we expect when the comrades decide upon a revolution?
Though the initial few seconds gives the right build,
the instrumental ends on the right note to sustain
the curiosity created thus far.
Verdict:
Overall, Khele Hum Jee Jaan Sey is an album of quality.
With subdued sounds, neat arrangements and use of
innovative interludes, the songs of the movie should
play an integral in the movie's narrative. It may
take a while for the songs to sink in but rest assured
if it does, you won’t forget them easily. Moreover,
all the songs seem to be purely situational and hence
would have a larger impact once people see the visuals
on the screen. |
