SEL finally opens their account for the year 2012. The music is very native and raw focuses heavily on lilting melodies. Thanks to the genre of the movie. In every SEL album the first thing i look for is the song sung by Shankar Mahadevan and this time is no different. Shankar sizzles in the lovely Bolo Na tune heavily based on Indian classical and clearly the best song of the album. Beautiful sitar, lovely usage of Piano and soft beats impresses heavily. Bechayen Sapne sung mainly by Abhijeet Sawant and Mahalakshmi Iyer is a typical bengali folk song beautifully stamped with SEL brand and at times dangerously sounds Rahmanish. A soothing folk melody with Sax interludes makes the song unique and stands out. Jeeney Ki Wajah sung by group of singers probably portrays the mood and the genre of the film. An inspirational song similar to the lines of ARR's Azaadi from Bose. SEL always had huge inspiration from ARR and this song is no different. However terrific sitar/veena interludes elevates the mood of the song briliantly. Ishaan is another inspirational song sung by multiple singers in chorus. Orchestration stand out with awesome strings and beats and i always think the genre of this kind is a huge challenge for any composer and sure will be a composers delight. There are four instrumental tracks which are probably used as background score and they are very fresh and apt. Do not overlook them. The highlight of the album is the focus on a theme and it has a superb color to the music which is very native and original other than the interludes and brilliant usage of some traditional instruments like Sitar. Clearly SEL's best music after a long time.
