Laaga Chunari Mein Daag - Indian Film 2007

Director/Writer: Pradeep Sarkar , Aditya Chopra
Starring: Jaya Bachchan , Rani Mukherjee , Konkona Sen Sharma

The soundtrack of "Laaga Chunari Mein Daag" has a very refreshing feel to it, but the compositions might not match up to Moitra's earlier works that have created ripples.
Shantanu Moitra returns after his classic "Parineeta" to compose a soundtrack for the multi-starrer "Laaga Chunari Mein Daag". Swanand Kirkire provides the lyrics for the title track "Chunari mein daag", a brilliant piece of music. Vocals by Shubha Mudgal are a treat as her amazing voice does complete justice to the song. Someone who deserves special mention here is Mita Vashisht, known to have assisted Mudgal earlier, who contributes by reciting certain words at regular intervals.

"Ehi thaiyaa motiya", an all-in-all classical number finds a place in the soundtrack with Rekha Bharadwaj rendering it. Seeming to be a song picturised in a 'kotha', it has all the essentials that such a track usually has - tabla and background vocals - giving it a completely authentic feel. A masti song comes in next with "Hum toh aise hai", a rare combination of Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal singing together. Listening to the track is an enjoyable experience. With feel-good lyrics, the two female singers are joined by Swanand Kirkire and Pranab Biswas. The song, being an introductory piece and with a small town touch, succeeds in catching one's attention.

In 'Ik teekhi teekhi si ladki' we get to hear K.K. and Shreya's effortless vocals. The pleasant track is light, sweet and melodic. "Kachchi kaliyan" turns out to be absolutely different from the earlier lot. A fast and peppy number, it has K.K., Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal and Sunidhi Chauhan providing the vocals. It includes certain folk lyrics interspersed with some English words too! A sure shot entertainer, this track is packed with lots of energy and is a typical number to be played during Indian weddings.

Saawariya - Indian Film 2007

Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Rani Mukerjee, Salman khan, Sonam Kapoor
Singers: Alka Yagnik, Shail Hada, Richa Sharma, Parthiv Gohil, Shreya Ghoshal, Kunal Ganjawala, Shaan
Lyricist: Sameer, Nusrat Badr
Music Director: Monty Sharma, Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Many music lovers have been looking forward to the soundtrack of "Saawariya" because the music of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's films is usually appealing. And this time too, with Monty Sharma composing the music and Sameer and Nusrat Badr writing the lyrics, the songs of "Saawariya" ought to strike a chord with the masses.

"Chabeela" comes in as a pleasant surprise for a couple of reasons including the fact that Alka Yagnik has rendered a song after a long time. Composed by Monty Sharma, the music compliments Alka's voice beautifully, making it a very likeable track.

"Daras bina nahin chain" is a classical piece of music, which doesn't end up being boring. High on romance is "Jab se tere naina". It seems like an appropriate Sanjay Leela Bhansali song. Sung by Shaan, who usually does justice to romantic numbers, the music of "Jab se..." is a good effort. The title track "Saawariya" is an amazing number that gets you humming along. Shail Hada, who renders this piece, is going to be flooded with offers for singing after the sure-shot success of this track.

Bhansali adorns the cap of a music director by composing "Thode badmash". As an individual audio piece, it would in no way rake in any money or popularity. So, we're only left to see whether it suits the situation in the movie. Almost all the songs in the soundtrack of "Saawariya" are high on melody, music with a classical touch and poetic lyrics, which raise the standards of quality music in Bollywood. But what remains to be seen is whether this album clicks with the public or not.
