RGV is back with his new reality based film ‘The Attacks of 26/11’ which is based on the heart rendering terror attacks in Mumbai. The music of the film is not like a typical bollywood number and if you are searching for some glitzy music then you are not at the right place.
Intense drum beating in ‘Maula Maula’ is the special character that gets the aggression needed in the song. Lyrics revolve around god and the need of humanity. Dalal’s composition has worked well along with Thakar’s beautiful penned Sanskrit lyrics. Heavily built chanting in the track by Dalal paves way to Singh’s warm vocals that takes your mind through a journey. It can be yet another song if you just hear it but its promo very well conveys the significance of the song in the film.
Techno beats placed in the track ‘Aatankiaaye’ slowly drags you to a lyrics that is full of violence. Lyrically harsh words are penned by Thakar. Composition is not that interesting when accompanied with the track. It has the typical RGV touch that gives some haunted feel in a bit. Overall, the feel of the song is below average. Jasz has rendered the track. After two listening it soon starts sounding weary.
The same haunted feel continues in the track ‘Khoon Kharaba Tabaahi’; the creepiness catches you as the song goes along. It feels like a continuation of ‘Aatankiaaye’ but Jagan’s vocal is absolutely charming and the music gets in some suspense. Music is composed by Mohile and lyrics are penned by Iqbal.
Next track in the soundtrack is ‘Raghupati Raghav’, with lots of flute and beats. The whole play of flute gives a special touch and this song can only be enjoyed alongside of the movie otherwise it doesn’t gives out any special feel. The final track of the music album is Singh’s work from composition to rendering. ‘Raghupati Raghav Rajaram’ is the combination of the earlier tracks ‘Maula Maula’ and ‘Raghupati Raghav’.
Over all the album is a complete fit to the story line of RGV’s film but fails to make a place in our personal favourites. By the end, all the tracks in the music album sound the same because of the lyrics that carry similar words and the theme that is based more on patriotism. It’s a one time listen soundtrack and we expect something better from the movie that is out on 1 March.
