Hey Man,
You sound amazing. Seems, the experiences will last lifetime.I am still drooled
over the music of the movie, but yes, I'll watch on the computer as soon as the
original DVD is out. That way, I'll have access to all the background music
scores. By the way, in case you do not know - the movie has been delayed by
around 50 days, as AR Rahman wanted to give some special treatment on the
background music score.

All,
I watched the movie second time with perhaps the worst audience ever.
They did not have any respect for history or director or actors or
music director.
Many people were involved in making comments on serious scenes, making
fun of songs and all that.
But it also gave me a chance to see the real effect of Direction and
music direction.
I still can not forget when Khwaja Mere Khwaja song came all the
audience was stuck to their seats.
While "Azim-o-shan shehanshah" came audience was shocked and the
effect of the song was so hard on them that none of those fun making
guys even moved from their seats till the movie finished.
Coming to the BGM now:
Many things go unnoticed when you see the movie first time but second
time makes it crystal clear.
Rahman Saab has outdone himself and the background score of Jodhaa
Akbar is perhaps the best of all his work till date; and i am sure
will always be remembered as a landmark and will be an inspiration to
millions of other composers. A few things about BGM:
1. SITAR pieces: Oh my god, i have not listened to anything like this
before. I think some Raga is played on Sitar many times in the movie.
Whenever its played it takes your breath away. I think after Naushad
Saab no one has used Sitar in such magnificent way. If Naushad Saab
was alive, he surely would have praised ARR with 1000 words.
2. ARABIC pieces: ARR Sir, i do not know if God exists or not but when
i listened your Arabic instrumental pieces in JA, i surely felt God
somewhere near me. How can you use almost every instrument with such a
perfection. Oh god those divine tunes will haunt me forever.
3. Jashn-e-bahara vocals and instrumentals: I have started liking the
song and singer 100 times more than before since i have heard that
vocals only piece. You could feel the pain in the voice. You can feel
love in the air whenever the instruments of the song start.
4. Man mohana: Remember the ending of the song, the slow paced vocals,
those are used at one place where Akbar is going in slow motion
thinking about Jodhaa (And he imagines her singing the end lines of
man mohana song). Ultimate piece of communication between Ashutosh and
ARR.
5. In Lamhon ke daman Maain instrumentals: No words to express those
feelings (and those goosebumps in heart and stomach) when every time
the starting instruments of this song are played as BGM. Out of the
world feelings come through the mind.
6. Beginning titles: I think its Sonu Nigam who sings while the
beginning title roll. He sings the word MOHABBAT in a very unique
way. It gives you a feel of a tail yet to be told.
7. Orchestra: The use of orchestra (symphony kind of music)has been
tremendous. At the scenes where Akbar gets angry, there has been a
very dangerous kind of music (hard to explain, sorry). It raises your
hair on arms.
8. Khawaja mere khawaja instrumental: Its used at times when someone
is depressed or sad.
9. Man mohana instrumental: The tune of the song and some instruments
of the song are used very very beautifully at many places..
10. Many more: I have forgotten many other small pieces, they were all
superb.
I hardly can stop myself from going again in cinemas to listen to the
Divine, Pure, Warm and out of the world Background score of Akbar
Jodhaa. Hats off to His Excellency, Sir A R Rahman.
Pravinder.
Your's,
Abhimanyu.
