A.R Rahmans name has been synonymous with quality music for years and now it
refurbishes itself into soul awakening experience felt through the expressions
of trauma, pain and delight in Deepa Mehtas WATER. The film is an emotional
musical offering that connotes the pain, pathos and joy of oppressed widow
traumatized by the taboo of cultural backwardness. It failed in Oscars by a
whisker but its soulful music has been phenomenal in grabbing attention from
esteemed Grammy Awards jury. Rahman preferred subtle beats and supple rhythms
in all the six original soundtracks that depict blend of sorrowful and joyful
expressions. Sukhwinder Singh rejuvenates his musical career as thoughtful
lyricist and sums up as one of the worthy prodigy of our generation with his
lively vocal performances. Sadhna Sargam scintillates magnificently in one of
her most immortal singing experience and adds impressively to the quality work
of the album. Despite all critical hullabaloos, the albums
acceptance has restricted appeal to sensible and thoughtful listeners but
still adds to the special cadre of class musical entertainment.
The ambience of supreme ecstasy is bloomed to zenith as the somber titillating
beats sprinkles fresh whiff of air in poignantly enriched Aayo Re Sakhi.
Sukhwinder Singhs throaty vocals brush up senses with soft enlightening folk
music that collages well with feminine vocal grace of Sadhna Sargam. Rahmans
somber musical display generates an aura of natural divinity that can be felt
in eternal beauty of natural delights. The resonating effect of Jhanan
Jhanan
sounds analogous to the rhythm pattern of Ghannan Ghannan (LAGAAN)
but it comes with much decelerated musical flow. The soundtrack got itself in
the nomination for the Best Original Song along with Rahmans earlier
composed Luka Chuppi (RANG DE BASANTI).
The suffocating feminine emotional outcry with feel of oppression and severance
gets the passage of expressive lyrical work in sentimentally touching Piya
Ho. Sadhna Sargams sluggish singing mode exemplifies the suffering and pathos
with traditionally resounding verses. Sukhwinder adds tinge of sensitivity in
the latter stages while the synchronized chorus catalyzes the oppressed feel.

Naina Neer Bahai carries the depressed journey with tearful impact as the
grim moments are rehashed in piously driven lyrical works. Sadhna Sargams
mournful singing epitomizes the significance of immortality of eternal love
felt in devotion of Lord Krishna. The spiritual healing felt through pristine
singing and expressive lyrics works progressively with soft and schmaltzy
musical work.
Spectrum of festively cheerful emotions welcomes the festival of colors in
boisterously pitched Sham Rang Mei. Folksy Richa Sharma throats out the
colorful decorum of festival with fine support of Raqueeb Alam and Surjo
Bhattacharya. It draws parallel lines from the feel of the album as it is the
only pompous soundtrack with ethnic touch.
Spiritualism spreads with the pious rendition of traditional Bhajan Vaishnav
Janato by Ajay Chakraborty and Kaushiki Chakraborty. This sanctimonious Ram
Bhajan has been one of favorites of Mahatma Gandhi and the film opens up in
pre-independence era. Its significance and rendition holds significance in
spiritual healing while its harmonious display gives situational feel to the
film.
Shy and demure sentiments of first love get traversed through playful and
mischievous acts in folksy blended Bangri Marori. It works intrinsically in
building up beautiful chemistry between introverted lovers. The eternal
divinity of the emotions can be felt through well versed traditional lyrical
verses and phrases. Sukhwinder Singhs mushy vocal displays give it sentimental
euphoric touches with mild orchestration adding doses of serenity.
WATER promises exclusive musical entertainment for thoughtful class listeners
with fine blend of folk and classical music. A.R Rahmans soft instrumental
works methodically with soulful impact of the theme while singers Sukhwinder
Singh and Sadhna Sargam shows their vocal flamboyance. It wont be finding
fancy of average listener for its off beat presentation but will add itself to
the special cadre of Bollywood classical works.
A Classy Treat!
