The reviews here are not so constructive either! five or ten people writing many emails all super-praising the songs (not that there is anything wrong with that!). Where are the rest of the opinions?
Isn't it surprising that A R R makes Naveen play the second verse of Jashn at a higher octave and the flute slightly Carnatic-ally throughout! The verses feel very much like A R's earlier work like Pudhiya Mugham.. It is a VERY pleasant change to hear Naveen.. I haven't heard the other songs in detail though! In the actual song, I felt J A (who shares his initials with the movie, like the lyricist ahem..) goes a bit off-pitch sometimes in the verses. I also wish they'd change the lyrics of the refrain "saare sahmey hawaaein hain" slightly everytime the tune is repeated.. But it is the most instantly likeable of all the songs IMHO. --- In [email protected], Gopal Srinivasan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Anyone who writes "while rest of the tracks is(sic) classy but situational or mediocre in terms of compositions or presentations(sic)", in my view, has no business writing reviews.
