Portion of article for music review in indiafm for Taare Zameen Par....
It is a difficult song to create due to various reasons. a) It is slow moving
which means that beats cannot camouflage/overtake the melodious intent of the
song, b) It requires a singer of high caliber to croon since the focus is
entirely on voice due to hardly any instruments being in the background, c)
Prasoon Joshi's lyrics follow a poetic route which means double the effort for
the composers to think innovatively. Still, the end product is such that even
if it won't be sung aloud by a man on the street (that was never an intent to
begin with), Taare Zameen Par would make for an emotional cinematic viewing.
Singer Raman Mahadevan builds on the melodious feel of the album with 'Kholo
Kholo' which is about opening up the world around you and breathing all the air
in the beautiful surroundings. Very urban and belonging to soft-rock, 'Kholo
Kholo' has a guitar as it's base instrument which works wonders with Raman's
smooth vocals. A.R. Rahman and Gulzar saab would definitely approve the kind of
great job that Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Prasoon Joshi do. Even better than the
title song, 'Kholo Kholo' is number that you would love to hear in isolation in
a repeat mode!
Enjoy..
