Rahman lends an inexplicably 1990s treatment to Raghav Mathur and Shilpa Rao's gingery play of Gulzar's words in Ishq shava. Shreya Ghosal returns to offers a slower, sadder version of Saans with just one thing in mind. Saans, with its ardor-filled expressions and heightened drama in Rahman's arrangement, strives so hard to be evocative it only ends up sounding showy and synthetic in the process. Even a whiff of Tu hi re (Bombay), Pyaar yeh jaane kaisa hai (Rangeela), Nahi saamne (Taal) or Satrangi re (Dil Se.) invariably leads to goose pimples with its wholehearted, unbridled display of passion. There are songs that become epic and others that labour to sound epic. Beaming with charm and a catchy hook, Challa falls in the category of songs that make great first impressions.

But here's what I discovered about his compositions for the Yash Raj romance starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. Even his lesser appreciated albums like Yuvvraaj and Raavan are absolute favourites of mine. It has its moments of technique and finesse but not the soul that soars or stirs. When it's hugely anticipated soundtrack released a schmaltzy recital of an Aditya Chopra poem in Shah Rukh Khan's ardent voice followed by the smashing song teaser Challa, I felt better about my conciliations. What more could a year, brimming with remarkable movie scores like Gangs of Wasseypur, Vicky Donor and Barfi!, ask for above the exquisite combination of A R Rahman's melody and Gulzar's mood as icing?Īlas, something is sorely amiss in the songs of Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Then came out its first poster with some of the hottest credits in the business reduced to inconsequence and my immediate reaction was 'Who okayed this mess?' But if inventive posters lead to inane films like Rowdy Rathore, I'd rather make my peace with JTHJ and get used to it. With the exception of Dil To Pagal Hai (which too has a nice ring), just about every title of a Yash Chopra creation articulates its gist in very little.Īnd so when the mysteriously long wait for the name of his latest (and perhaps last) came to an end with Jab Tak Hai Jaan, the response ranged from 'dated' to 'dramatic.' It wasn't a selection I had hoped for but I reasoned if we could get used to Jab We Met, we'll probably get used to this too.
