Jodhaa Akbar --- The Musical

Hey buddies….

How are you guys? Hope all of you are having a great time
Here is my quick and brief take on this year’s most awaited music album “JODHAA AKBAR”

Coming from the Musical Genius, this album also brings again the successful trio
Rahman - Javed Akhtar - Ashutosh Gowarikar…….Lagaan,Swades and now JA.
So lets see how it goes…….The album starts with

Azeem-o-shaan Shahenshah Mohd Aslam,Bonny Chakravarti ●●●●● ( 5/5 )

Powerful renditions, drums,swords…this song takes you to the Akbar’s Empire for a while…
Sivamani’s drums and swords are exemplary……It’s a chartbuster all the way…..
“tera mazhab ejo mohabbat
kitne dilon pat teri hukumat”

Jashn-E-Bahaara Javed Ali ●●●●●

Easily the Song of the Year…….This will never leave you after you listen it once…….
Who is this Javed Ali………hmmmm amazing voice…………..
Just waiting for the Hello Tune…….You just cant stop humming…and I too

“Kehne ko Jashn-E-Bahaaraa hein…..
Ishq ee dekh ke hairaan hein
Phool se kushboon kafaa kafaa hain gulshan mein
Chupa hein koi ranj fiza ki chilman mein “

Khwaja Mere Khwaja AR Rahman ●●●●●

Now comes the big one from the genious himself……Declared as the No 1 song of the Album by Rahman fans……..Just listen to his deep haunting voice…mesmerizing……..And no doubt for me the best of the album………

In Lamhon ke Daaman Mein Sonu Nigam,Madhushree ●●●●●

This is a very different track you would have never heard before…….Surely one of the most difficult tracks Rahman composed……Sonu Nigam is sure to win many awards for this…..the way he changes from a high pitch to a low melody is awesome…….And Madhushree does a cameo again….

Mann Mohanaaa Bela Shinde ●●●●1/2

This is the song which grows on you slowly…….Her voice leaves a mark slowly on us…..

Jashn-E-Bahaara-Instrumental Flute : Navin ●●●●●

No words to say about this…..At night put lights off and listen to this instrumental and I am sure you will have no words tooooo……Cant understand how any one can do so much with a Flute……

Khwaja Mere Khwaja—Instrumental ●●●●●

We normally don’t find instrumentals on CD’s…….Its a treat for music lovers to have these…They just take you to another world……..




That’s it guys…….In one sentence I can say it’s a musical masterpiece…….
I am enjoying it thoroughly and I hope you tooo……….
Renditions, Orchestrations, Instrumentals, Lyrics…….you will find the best of all these in this album……Only Rahman can give such an album to an epic period film…..

As truly said by some one “We are so lucky to be living in the same era as Rahman and his music”

Comments Eagerly awaited
