The tracks of 'My Name is Khan' leave a powerful impact on the listener and send a strong message
January 06, 2010 11.20 PST
Most of Shahrukh Khan's films have been known for giving chartbusting numbers, but don't expect this soundtrack to come out with any dance tunes. Director Karan Johar has said that "My Name is Khan" will have background music but no songs to dance to.
The tracks however give a powerful message on life and love. The music was composed by musical trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. So let's see if the music stands out...
What We Think :
The soundtrack consists of six tracks. The first song "Sajda" is a powerful number with a powerful start by Risha Sharma, followed by the Sufi voice of the great Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. So, expect this one to top the charts. Next up is "Noor E Khuda," an uplifting song calling out to the All Mighty with Shreya Goshal reaching out with her voice along with Adnan Sami and Shankar Mahadevan giving it a little Western flavor.
Shafqat Amanat Ali returns to the Karan Johar brand with "Tere Naina." The track reminds us of "Mitwa" from KANK with the qawalli feel, but it is still a great listen. "Allah Hi Raham" is not as powerful as "Noor E Khuda" but singer Rashid Khan chants in this occasional number.
"Rang De Aman Se Aasmaan" takes the musical trio back to the rock genre with Suraj Jagan sending a powerful message. Pakistani band Strings also makes a comeback with the theme music to "My Name is Khan," with an orchestra setting that sets the movie right in its place.
Best Songs:
Sajda
Noor E Khuda
Tere Naina
Our Verdict:
It looks like Karan Johar kept his promise that there would be no dance numbers in his film. These songs should stay in the background, but expect the soundtrack to stand on its own.
Rating : 3.5/5
