EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY ROHIT KOTHARI

After the super success of Fashion and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi the music composers- Salim Merchant and Sulaiman Merchant are back with their next venture Kurbaan produced by Karan Johar and directed by Rensil D’Silva. The album has a total of six tracks- five originals and one remix.

The album begins with Shukran Allah sung by Sonu Nigam, Salim Merchant, Shreya Ghoshal. The song practices one of the finest romantic composition by Salim-Sulaiman and the lyrics by Prasoon Joshi are simple yet heart-winning. Sonu Nigam’s voice draws attention immediately and impresses the listeners in the first hear.

Up next is Dua Hai sung by Marianne D’Cruz, Sukhwinder Singh and Kailash Kher. The song gives the feeling of a fusion of sufi and rock music. The song is highly vivacious and lyrics are amazing. But the composition could have been even better.

Next in album is Ali Maula, a situation track giving a feeling of the protagonist kneeling in front of God and asking for something. For this track Salim Merchant himself gets behind the mike and does a decent job. The song also comes in a remix version.

Rasiya sung by Shruti Pathak is an extremely aesthetic track. Murky, haunting yet romantic is what Rasiya is all about. The song experiences a blend of Indian and Western music. Shruti Pathak’s voice is the main catch of the song.

To end with there is Kurbaan Hua sung by Vishal Dadlani. A song with a rock and rustic feel, Kurbaan Hua is full of life, energy and vigour. Vishal Dadlani’s voice is a power pack and makes the song certainly the best track of the album.

Rating: 3/5
