Tanu Weds Manu - Music Review

Comments [ 10 ] By Vedo M. | 09 February 2011 | 9:54pm

Music Director : Krsna

Lyricists: Rajshekhar

Tanu Weds Manu may not be a film that the masses were eagerly anticipating but the launch of the music album has certainly caught the ears of many. It marks the very promising Bollywood debut of Krsna. Although he has stuck to familiar territory, Krsna has managed to cleverly show listeners his talent and creativity with the arrangements and layered use of instruments.

The album starts off on a very upbeat and exuberant note with "Sadi Gali". Composed by RDB and sung by Lehmber Hussainpuri, this foot tapping number hooks you on the first listen and puts you in a partying mood!

After that single contribution, RDB passes the baton onto debutant composer Krsna, who opens with "Yun Hi". This dreamy love number is playful, simple and complex all at the same time. As soon as you hear the humming intro you instantly recognize Mohit Chauhan's vocals. Ujjaini Mukherjee does a good job on the backing vocals, but the song definitely belongs to Mohit. It seems as if it was composed for him only!

Next we hear the composer taking over the mike himself with a Sufi number, "Rangrez". Krsna does a great job in giving a nuanced performance and he does it with just the right amount of control and emotion. There is an alternate version of this song sung by the Wadali Brothers titled "Hey Rangrez Mere Hey". It is essentially the same but has that little something special simply because of the earthy vocals belonging to the Wadali Brothers. In the end, it all comes down to personal preference.

Many people mistakenly think "Piya" is sung by Shafqat Amanat Ali when it is in fact sung by the soulful Roop Kumar Rathod. It is a mistake easily made as on the first listen it does amazingly sound like Shafqat's vocals; one does have to hear the song very carefully to note the distinction. All that aside, this track has a semi-classical feel to it that evokes yearning.

"Manu Bhaiya" led by Sunidhi Chauhan with back up from a chorus compiled of Ujjaini, Vivek Naik, Manjeera, Niladri Debnath and Rakhi Chand has a folksy desi flavor that puts you in a fun, teasing mood, definitely worthy of a listen to pep up any mood!

Last but not the least, the album finishes off with "Jugni" by Mika Singh. It is an out and out Punjabi track that is not up to par with "Sadi Gali" but nevertheless has the potential to grow on you after a few listens.

The varied soundtrack which doesn't boast of anything abstractly fresh but all the tracks are immensely engaging and definitely worth a listen!

BollyCurry's favorite: Sadi Gali, Yun Hi, Rangrez and Manu Bhaiya.

I am eagerly awaiting this movies, but a little ticked that RDB gave their popular Lehmber track to this movie, but oh well. I've heard Sadi Gali too many times in the past so will check out the other songs.
