If "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak" was Aamir's big break entry, "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na" is already making big news for every trivia it takes before it hits the theatres this season, and this time, it's the music. After reality based themes, period dramas and more, our popcorn hungry audiences will welcome "Jaane Tu.." with record openings we know. Starring Imran Khan and Genelia D'Souza in the leads, this campus flick is the story of two young souls, Jai and Aditi, who play the perfectly odd couple. In seven original tracks and one remix, you have immense scope for musical romance, some purposeful masti and all that jazz. Without much promises, A.R.Rahman stirs his musical wand yet again. Music After delivering his potential best with period films last, we wondered if he had lost tracks of his experimental subjects. Fortunately, we get to listen to a fresh set of tracks with the quintessential 'Rahman' touch that stands out as his signature mark. The opening track, 'Kabhi Aditi' sets the mood for an enchanting musical ride ahead. This is one song that you will carry on your lips as you trail ahead or even make it your caller tune (like I did). And don't be surprised if it silently reminds you of 'Musu Musu' from 'Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi" sans the spunk. "Pappu Can't Dance" is a dance number with all the needful grooves that qualify as the next sensational DJ favourite. "Jaane Tu Meri Kya Hai' is as soulful as it can be without sounding depressing. Simply put, very contemporary, as if churned out to transport the listener to a world of his own - that 'Jaane Tu's' music. Lyrics With Abbas Tyrewala at the wheel, there's little scope for complaining, but there's always scope for more, we believe. Without any heavy use of language, the simple lines snuggle into what the music demands. What surprises me about "Kabhi Kabhi" is the effortless lyrics that sound rhythmic and yet not stagnant. Unlike the traditional roothna manana ganas, this one's closely appealing when it says 'maana saara jaahan mein kabhi kabhi andhera hota hai" and further claims that, lekin raat ke baad hi toh savera hota hai". Convincing isn't it? Apparently "Pappu Can't Dance' is a knowledgeable dig at Salman Khan, which goes like "Hai muscular, hai popular... But Pappu Can't Dance saala". Oh, dear, real pity, you see. But the lyrics are so catchy that I am sure party animals would scream the same lines the next time they hit the dance floor.. "Nazrein Milana' retains a good feel around it, thanks to the lyrics that remind you of the campus setting. "Main Bolu" talks of how two people say the same things with a different perspective - the glass is half full or half empty, you decide. Vocals In another line of firsts, Rahman introduces Rashid Ali who invokes life to Jai's non-violent character and lends his youthful voice in two noteworthy tracks. Rashid's voice bears an uncanny resemblance to our very own KK, who popularized a similar style. The two versions, "Jaane Tu Meri Kya Hai' evidently drowns you in pensive emotions, courtesy Runa Rizvi and Sukhwinder Singh as Jai and Aditi respectively. What's the album without the music director himself donning the microphone. As anyone would have expected, Rahman reserved the most anticipated track, "Main Bolu" for himself. The track incidentally captures the essence of the two protagonists' clash of ideas - also the theme of the movie. But before you can accuse him of being selfish, we also trust his decision of treating a song the way he wants it. After trying her luck with action, you have Vasundhara Das finally doing what she's good at - singing. You will hear her accompany Rashid Ali in the foot tapping 'Kahin To Hogi Woh". Unfortunately, Naresh Iyer (Rahman's find who rose to fame with Rang De Basanti) seems hidden among the cluster of singers in "Pappu Can't Dance". Since no singer has got to monopolize the track list, we get a wide range of singing which is a pleasant delight to the ears. Orchestration Extensive use of guitar by Sanjeev Thomas and Rashid keeps the smooth jazz effect especially in the title track. Talk of saxophone effects, the playful piano and soft drums that tingle your heartbeats - just what a campus flick expects on the musical arena. "Pappu Can't Dance" quenches your thirst for vibrant music and the remix, what with all the beats that pep your spirits to a new high. The title track "Main Bolu" is purely slow jazz, yet has a mellifluous beauty to it, thanks to the minimal use of musical weapons that seduce you to hum along. "Nazrein Milaan" has an experimental Boyzone air about it sounding upbeat giving it the college nostalgia. "Jaane Tu Mere Kya Hai" has all the ups and down that a sad song warrants. Also Adam Rapa can blow his trumpet (coz he's played them well) for good. Well, our Bollywood needs to take some lessons on the optimal and brilliant use of instruments from Rahman of course. Sum up Hmmm, we heard Himesh Reshamiyya, was the original choice as music director. Now, we are glad that venture didn't take off well. What's more, this is reportedly the first music album whose publishing rights are owned by the composer himself, which means that the person who creates the music, owns it too. Though it makes sense, it's unfortunate that our industry guys are not too welcome about this trend for obvious reasons. Full credits to Rahman and Abbas, for they create magic with mere music and words. It's been quite some time that our ears had a harmonious delight to remember and croon about. We don't know about the movie, but "Jaane Tu" is exactly what music lovers have been craving for. Either, you own it, or you don't!
