Guru review ( Music
) :
Rahman proves his class in 'Guru'
(MUSIC REVIEW)
By Zafri Mudasser Nofil,
Album: "Guru"; Music Director: A.R. Rahman; Lyricist: Gulzar;
Music Label: Sony BMG
"Guru" is one of the rare occasions when Mani Ratnam, A.R.
Rahman and Gulzar have come together. Loosely based on the life
of Reliance founder Dhirubhai Ambani, the film has Abhisekh
Bachchan playing the role of the late business icon.
"The album begins with "Barso re", a lively rain song crooned by
Shreya Ghosal and Uday Majumdar and arranged beautifully by
Rahman.
"Tere bina" is no doubt the highpoint of the album and has a
typical Rahman flavour. Sung by Rahman and Chinmayee with
additional vocals by Murtaza Qadir, "Tere bina" is a great love
song that rides on equally great lyrics. Rahman has rightly
dedicated this song to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
"Ek lo ek muft" is a rustic number where Rahman fails to
capitalise on the voice of Bappi Lahiri and Chitra. A completely
situational song, it has additional vocals by Tanvi, Saloni,
Boney and Jaidev
"Baazi laga" by Udit Narayan, Madhushree, Swetha and Bhargavee
is a mundane number, most unlike Rahman
"Mayya" is the result of what Rahman is best at - fusion. Sung
by Mayyam Toller with additional vocals by Chinmayee and Keerthi,
it has Arabic elements blended with Indian folk.
"Ay hairathe" is an intoxicating ghazal by Hariharan and Alka
Yagnik with Rahman and Aslam Mohammed also lending their voices.
"Jaage hain" is for the classical music buffs. Chitra and Rahman
sing this number with Madras Chorale Group providing the
orchestral delights.
In "Guru" Rahman, who penned hits like "Roja", "Bombay", "Rang
De Basanti" and "Lagaan", proves his class once again.
Undoubtedly one of the finest contemporary musicians, Rahman's
effort in "Guru" is boosted by Gulzar's lyrics.
