Music Review : My Name Is Khan
Composer: Shankar Ehsan Loy
Lyrics: Niranjan Iyengar
Singers: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Richa Sharma, Rashid Khan, Adnan Sami, Shafqat Ali Khan
Richa Sharma’s prelude to Sajda – the first track on My Name Is Khan – is the calm before the storm, as right after her, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan rips in with Shankar-Ehsan-Loy’s entire musical troupe – the tabla, the dholak, the chorus – the whole jing bang of their ‘ek-do-teen-chaar’ metered sound, but they’ve got the heart in place. The song is going to soar on the charts, and how!
Noor-E-Khuda wants to be gospel until Shreya Ghoshal segues into the track at four minutes of enduring both Shankar Mahadevan and Adnan Sami trying to reach out to God in their feeble pop-ish attempt.
Shafqat Amanat Ali returns with Tere Naina – which oddly sounds so much like Mitwa – the track he sang in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.the song heads into a quasi- qawalli mood and makes for interesting listening thereafter.
Rashid Khan’s Allah Hi Raham never really ascends its scale – notching up with each stanza could have made this a ready beckoner.
The My Name Is Khan theme is operatic alright. James Horner, we can do it too! Rang De Aman Se Aasmaan – wonderful catchphrase.
