Music Review: Rockstar

Here comes the review of the most discussed and talked about film of the year ‘Rockstar’. As the name suggests this Imtiaz Ali film is all about music and music alone. Does the music stand for ite hype? Has A R Rahman been able to prove his mettle another time? The answer is simply a YES and what more, the music has took the movie to another level. A R Rahman has outdone himself once again and proved that no one can stand before his music. The album consists of 14 tracks including 3 instrumentals. Almost all the tracks contain the voice of Mohit Chauhan who apparently is the screen voice of Rockstar Ranbir Kapoor. It also marks the comeback of Kavitha Krishnamurthy after a long gap. I dont have any clue about how well i could review the tracks,it has a feel that is beyond words. I would just list out the tracks here,rather than reviewing them, you should actually hear them all.

1. Phir se Udd Chala

2. Jo Bhi Main

3. Katiya Karoon

4. Kun Faaya Kun

5. Sheher Main

6. Haawa Haawa

7. Aur Ho

8. Naadan Parindey

9. Tum Ko

10. Saadda Haq

11. Tum Ho

12. Tango for Taj

13. The Dichotomy of Fame

14. The Meeting Place

The Guitars for Sadda Haq have been provided by Orianthi who was supposed to be the lead guitarist of MJ during his “THIS IS IT” world tour, this particular track is already a rage. What struck me most about these songs is that they don’t follow a routine pattern in which a Bollywood song is made and its been put raw and is made to sound imperfect. The last 3 tracks are the instrumentals in the album. A R Rahman has lended his voice for 2 songs, Naadan Parindey which is a concert song and Kun Faaya Kun which is a Sufi song. One thing I would like to say about this album is that it contains all genres of music you know, as well as the Genres you wouldn't know. Whatever music you are looking for is there in the album. It’s a must buy guys. I wouldn't rate this album, its one rare album which falls under the category, which i call LEGENDARY.
