Film: “Lamhaa”; Music Director: Mithoon
Music composer Mithoon, who has created music for very few films like “Bas Ek Pal” and “Anwar”, has come out with an impressive and hummable soundtrack in “Lamhaa”, a film on Kashmir.
Directed by Rahul Dholakia and starring Sanjay Dutt, Bipasha Basu and Kunal Kapoor, the album comprises of six originals.
It starts with “Madno”, a soft, pleasing and soothing track that brings forward the sound of the santoor. The romantic song has been crooned by Kshitij Tarey and Chinmayi. With minimal orchestration, beautiful melody and great vocals, the song does make an impact.Chinmayi ,she is back with a bang through this song . This song renders with a nostaligic feeling and cop up with the standards of recent bollywood songs.
“Madno” also has an alternate version, “Saajnaa”, where Kshitij’s portion has been replaced by Mika Singh. Mika in a slow song like this does come as a surprise, but he just goes on to prove his versatility as he does complete justice to the track. After hearing this song we cant identify the singers name by his voice , we have to check for the album cd. Mika u surprised me again.The singer who sang Singh is Kingh type songs now for the first time singing melodies.
Apart from a few words that have been changed from “Madno”, the song remains the same.
Next in line is “Salaam Zindagi”, which has Arun Daga and Mohd Irfan behind the mike. The song starts with children singing Kashmiri lines and then the singers enter with Hindi lyrics. Saim Bhat has written the Kashmiri lyrics. The inspirational track is highly melodious and extremely likeable.
Then there is “Zameen-o-aasmaa” sung by Kshitij Tarey. It is an average track when compared to the other songs in the album. It is more of a situational number.
Finally there is “Rehmat zara”, where composer Mithoon takes charge of the vocals too along with Mohammad Irfan. The song has influences of rock and Sufi music. Mithoon belts out a good track again.
On the whole, the album has a robust mix of songs that are soulful and entertaining. Also, Mithoon has done justice to the theme of the film.
and i will go fro 4.6/5
