Music filled with feelings in 'Bose...' :
IANS
Mumbai, April 15 : It's yesterday once more - with the music of "Bose The
Forgotten Hero".
This isn't the first time that A.R. Rahman has gone into a historical biopic.
He had earlier
composed some truly gritty songs for Raj Kumar Santoshi's "The Legend Of Bhagat
Singh".
Now he teams up Javed Akhtar (after "Lagaan", "Zubeida" and "Legend...") to
create a symphony
of nostalgic sounds that celebrate the life of the uncelebrated hero, Netaji
Subhas Chandra
Bose.
The most remarkable achievement in "Bose...", is that the sounds, though
steeped in the ethos
of a specific historical chapter, are no slave to any era.
And if in "Legend...", Rahman got Sonu Nigam to warble "Rang de basanti chola"
and "Sarfaroshi
ki tamanna" wondrously, in "Bose...", the singer's talent is harnessed in "Desh
ki mitti".
You can almost hear the ache and pain of the homesick statesman in every word
of the song.
Another gem is "Ghoomparani". Sapna Mukherjee, who never found her melodic
metier before, comes
into her own in this sweet and tender lullaby tinged with a Bangla flavour - a
reminiscent of
Rahman's "Door kahin ek aam ki bagiya" in "Zubeida".
Rahman himself renders "Aazadi" with the rising gusto that we heard him adopt
for the title
song in "Swades".
Side two of the album is interestingly composed of variety of sweltering sounds
- ranging from
an Afghani theme to a Bangla boatman's song to convey the epic spectrum of
Netaji Subhas
Chandra's Bose's life.
The soundtrack of "Bose..." isn't as exceptional as the ones Rahman has done
earlier in the
genre. But it's filled with feelings that are often inexpressible without the
support of music.
You may not find the sounds of this album modern enough to warrant a
sole-tapping response. But
the music aim at more - they go for the heart and soul.
