[arr] Mangal Pandey -my view

Fri, 15 Jul 2005 16:36:47 -0700

On first hearing,I wasn't impressed but as all of you said rightly ,repeated listening will tune you up.
 
I was completely floored by the classic Me Vaare number and my favourite is Rassiya.
The opening track Mangal Mangal is a rustic typical song set in the 1857 ambiance.
 
The Holi song started off nicely but along the way lost the master's touch.I was disappointed by the way the song shaped up cos boss could have taken it to heavenly levels.
 
Al Maddath Maula is a soulful number and deserves full marks.
 
Takey Takey was a hummable no. but with Sukhwinder at the helm boss could have converted the song into an anthem among youngsters.Here again i felt the masters touch missing.
 
Some glaring facts:
 
In my opinion everything about this album was fantastic but i noticed that the arrangement of music was not upto arr's standards.The music didn't have the boss stamp.
For eg in Main vari song the music was ordinary with the exception of the strings which wonderfully held the song on tenterhooks(arr touch).Boss has the habit of introducing beautiful musical pieces between the songs but that was missing in this one.
 
Takia song is a wonderful no. but again the music doesn't elevate the song and boss opts for a more simplistic approach.
This particular no. is a gem let down by boss.
 
Above all i wish to say that this is a fabulous album considering Hollywood stds but a fractional letdown for arr fans.
Regarding the criticism by a member i wish to add the arr fans don't go by hits or flops but by the quality of music.
ARR has gone beyond hits and flops,Also give consideration to the kind of film he is composing.
I can guarantee you that for a given situation no one can compose better than boss and this a universal truth.
 
MANGAL MANGAL HO,RAHMAN KI JAI HO.
 
bye
