Friends!!! My review on Ghajini here in
www.tamizh-isai.blogspot.com
Yathu!!! Even I felt the same....The distortion/lead guitars dangerously close to Maddy Maddy theme song...in Minnale(Greatly tweaked]IMMHOQuote:
OK FINALLY listened to the album. After a couple of listens, I really like Guzarish and Bekha.
Aye Bachu is also good, but somethings bugging me about it. The starting tune, that comes throughout the song, it sounds VERY VERY familiar. I just can't think where i've heard it before. Confused Its a rock song I think. Confused Confused
Im sure its deliberate sampling by ARR though. Hopefully...
good review! :notworthy:Quote:

This song is like Sachin slog sweeping for a sixer... bass lines n beats r pretty traditional (do i hear rangola here ) lots of transitions... real fun :2thumbsup: Hope it becomes a rage like Ek dho theen.Quote:

Tamizh Ghajni's Budget will be Aamir 's salary , still they were able to justice to the songs to an extent . Hindi folks have the habit of having a gloss over the songs and leave teh simplcity . Esp oru maalai Neram had simple picturisation which was effective .Quote:

Music Review: Ghajini is full of energy
Movie
Ghajini
Director
A.R. Murugadoss
Music
A R Rahman
Cast
Aamir Khan, Asin, Jiah Khan
Sonia Chopra
Not in a long, long time has one heard an album that’s so alive and full of energy while containing its romantic melodic rhythm. The album encompasses essentially romantic and dancy tracks; but in both the varieties, the mood is joyful and upbeat. This is Rahman’s fourth album in the year, and is on par with Jodhaa-Akbar and Jaane Tu’s music, albeit very different in temperament. You don’t want to miss this one!
Guzarish
The first song in the album is a romantic one with accent given to its melodious tune. The star of the song is singer Javed Ali. After singing Jashn-e-Bahaara in Jodhaa Akbar and Tu Muskura in Yuvvraaj, it appears that Javed will be a permanent fixture with Rahman.
And one hopes so, as he puts in a wonderfully spirited rendition of the song, infusing life into every word. (Sonu Nigam as the guest vocalist only hums, and has no words to perform.)
The mood of Guzarish changes from being pensive to the middle upbeat portion. Words like “Tu meri adhuri pyaas pyaas; tu aa gayee mann ko raas raas”, are simple yet memorable. A wonderful, melodic start to the album.
Aye Bachchu
The song begins with the sound of claps and the distorted guitar. You’re going to love this track if you let yourself go for it uninhibited. Singer Suzanne is untiringly feisty as she blazes through the song singing in her no-holds-barred style.
The lyrics match the song’s madness with words like “Masti ki wine mein, jeene ka hai chaska”. Suzzane’s singing reminded me of the unaffected nature of my personal favorite Alainis Morissette. A great song that can be enjoyed again and again.
Kaise Mujhe
Benny Dayal (also sang for Jaane Tu…Na Jaane Na) and Shreya Ghoshal were last heard in Tu hi to meri dost hai from Yuvvraaj. In this album, they sing the third song -- Kaise Mujhe.
The first half of the song is only Dayal singing and the mood is breezily romantic. His singing in some portions reminded one of AR Rahman’s style. The piano bestows a calming effect.
Towards the second half of the song, the familiar strains of Shreya Ghosal’s voice appears. A pure, heart-felt mush song.
Behka
The star of the album, according to me. Bekha has been sung splendidly by Karthik. The music has several hooks and plays around with varied music genres like pop, hip-hop and jazz. You can hear the saxophone at one moment, the drums in another, and the violin as well. It makes for a wonderful medley that must be relished again and again.
Lyrics are wonderful; but it’s not so much the words as how they are rendered that sets the song apart. Bekha reminds one of the songs from Rangeela, especially Kya Kare (what a coincidence for both to be picturised on Aamir Khan).
Latoo
You double-check the cover to confirm the singer is indeed Shreya Ghosal. For this song is anything but vintage Ghosal – it’s not romantic in the conventional sense and not mushy. Latoo is the kind of song you’d expect only Sunidhi Chauhan could do justice to. But Ghosal surprises the listeners with her upbeat rendition.
A sure-hit at shaadis and parties, Latoo is a super-dancy number with the beats and all. Lyrics are fun with lines like “pani mein pa who hai; dhani mein dha who hai.”
Kaise Mujhe (Instrumental)
A calming end to the album, with wonderfully serene music. There are no lyrics, but Shreya Ghosal’s aalap while singing the `theme tune’ adds to the haunting quality of this piece.
Verdict: Three-and-a-half stars

Bought the CD finally last weekend.
Behka. Man! What a stylish song. Karthik is awesome. Rahman rocks. This, along with the Guzarish, is the tops in the album. Latoo and Aye Bachu are fun songs and appeal immediately while the duet of Benny Dayal and Shreya Ghosal, while no less appealing, will take time to grow. This album, as Rahman said, is commercial and has him in full form. It is complete nonsense to declare this album as a dud compared with the tamil counterpart. As always, you have to be patient with a Rahman album to reap its full effect. Funnily enough, if Behka had appeared in Rangeela, people would have raved left, right, and center. It is the same Rahman and the same high quality still. It is probably just that there are other alternatives for quenching the musical thirst these days.
Asin kku rocking entry to bollywood 8-) 8-) courtesy thalaivar :smokesmirk:
The first interlude of Behka. Wow! A complete package, this number. Sooooper. And how the song reaches a peak when Karthik goes Kabhi sharama hai etc. This is the number for my taste.
Usko sochu me... Behka Behka
Super super.
M4E,
Thanks, thats a very honest opinion :D. Sure, Ghajini rocks!!
wow guys, i really love kaise mujhe. initially i hated benny's singing but wow! its the contrast between the rusty/raw sound of benny's voice and shreya's magical/fine tuned sound that makes the song a magic. ignore technical details such as benny's stuggling in this particular time or that and just listen to the song as a whole. Dinesh, i know you hated benny's singing as much as I did. trust me on this man, this song is way too good (inclduing benny's singing).
Theatrical trailor :

Rocking BGM!!!
What a piece of BGM on that trailer! I'm now more eager for the Background score now!
Aamir has revealed the whole stroy with that trailer for all the unexpecting northies!

Sure v gonna miss him in all future projects... :(
One of the most hilarious videos I have seen [on Harris Jayaraj]

My Take Oh Hindi Vs Tamil Ghajini :
1. Asin's Intro Songs:
Aye Bachu is far superior in tune, instrumentation and rendition when compared to damp Rahatullah in Tamil. Picturisation has been done by some famous ad film maker superbly in Hindi. It Rocks.
2. Beka Vs Oru Maalai
Oru Maalai easily wins over Beka. Beka is too odd and is unimpressive. May be for Hindi viewers it might suit. Dunno.
3. Guzarish vs Suttum Vizhi
Both r superb numbers but Guzarish is better than Suttum Vizhi. GUzarish is a wonderful melody . Voice of Javed Ali is awesome!
4. Kaise Mujhe vs Rangola
Kaise Mujhe is far far better than Rangola , Rangola was just a modern kuthu song Kaise Mujhe is a very good melody.
5. Latoo vs X Machi
Both are equal i dont see any difference, Latoo being hindi pop, X Machi is somewhat westernized .
As for Trailer is concerned, Tamil Ghajini Theme music was terrific while i see nothing special in Hindi its very ordinary. Tamil Ghajini BGM was rocking especially the Theme YOHIO GHAJINI was awesome!!!
"Behka" - Rocking :musicsmile:
:shock: :? :PQuote:

its his taste of music...
and hj pleases a few people with his score how can he be successful for so many years...
but how he does is a diff issue... courtesy: anniyan theme...
I watched the Tamil Ghajini in Tuticorin and that operator tried to increase the volume whnever there was a BGM. Aweful..Particularly this Ohio Ghajini...
