Aamir Khan's directorial venture "Taare Zameen Par" is yet
to hit the screen but the film's music has already got the thumbs up
by many. With composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, lyricist Prasoon Joshi
and a vast team of singers on board, the music of "Taare Zameen
Par" offers a special treat.
A huge bandwagon of singers, including Aamir Khan, sing "Bheja
Kum", an out and out rock number with the electric guitar and drums
contributing in a big way. The two-minute long track is more of a situational
number, which portrays exactly how parents of dyslexic kids would treat
them.
"Bum Bum Bole" once again has Aamir, who starts the track.
Later Shaan takes over. The composition is basically aimed at the young
who would enjoy the fun and joyful vibe.
Another rock piece is "Jame Raho". Vishal Dadlani lends his
voice to the song, which is a narrative of a day in a student's life.
This track, too, is more of a situational piece and might not gain much
success as a commercial one.
Next is "Kholo kholo", which introduces listeners to Raman
Mahadevan's impressive voice. "Kholo kholo" has a very pleasing
and appealing feel to it and should be enjoyed by the masses.
Another striking number is "Maa". It is all about melody
and rhythm. A boy's relationship with his mother is the prime focus
of the song and has been successfully portrayed by the composers in
a pleasing, musical way.
"Mera jahan" turns out to be a great number. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
take a backseat and allow Shailendra Barve to compose the number that
has a slight rock base. While Adnan Sami is the main singer, kids Auriel
Cordo and Ananya Wadkar too put in their bit by crooning a few lines
in English.
The title track "Taare Zameen Par" is slow with minimal instruments
and Shankar Mahadevan's voice doing the works. A wonderful song, it
also has Bugs Bhargava, Vivinenne Pocha and Dominique Cerejo.
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have churned out a feel good album. It may or may
not be an out and out commercial success but should definitely make
both the makers and the masses a happy bunch.
