Jodha Akbar :- Jashn-e-Bahara
Beautiful is the word ! A.R.Rehman's magnum opus... truly!!
Its been a while since i've liked a bollywood song so much. I donno what it is about this song that gets me all dreamy. Is it the music or the scene or the magical duo playing Akbar n Jodha or is it the voice , I never know !?! I'll hear it a thousand and one times and i'll still not get enough of this one. Who is this Javed Ali ? Where the hell has he been all this while when we were being tortured by Reshmaiya and his likes showing off the skills of their Olfactory organs! May be Ali is not a famous singer, but this song would've been incomplete without the man. And its not just him, the Javed's are ruling the song. Just have look at the lyrics:
"Pass hain phir bhi paas nahi,Humko yeh gum raas nahi . Seeshe ki ek diware hai jaise darmiya..
Sare sehmein nazare hain,Soye soye vaqt ke dhare hain. Aur dil mein koi khoye si baatein hain..
Milke bhi hum milte nahi,Khilke bhi gul khilte nahi. Aankhon mein hai baharein dil mein khiza.."
Absoultly flawless lyrics by Javeed Akhtar. A marvellous piece of poetry that beautifully unfolds the love between the king and the queen. Speaking of King and Queen, who could you better imagine to perform the song than Hrithik and Aishwarya. Personally, I've never been a great fan of Aishwarya Rai. But this movie, this song is an exception. I'm in total awe for the lady. She's just too good yaar. Look at the scene where the Queen walks alongside the King , meddling the chain and taking a sneak look at her husband smiling to herself. And the King relishing every momemt of his walk with the lady love. And the lines go :
"Karte to hai saath safar,Faasle hain phir bhi magar. Jaise milte nahi kisi dariya ke do kinare.."
And the scene where both of them sit in the Quadrangle in the Queen's chamber feeding the pigeons... Could it be more beautiful ? :-) And again the lines are :
"Milke bhi hum milte nahi....Khilke bhi gul khilte nahi...."
I could just go on and on about the song and every frame of it, thats how much this song deserves or may be even more. An excellent art work by Ashutosh Gowarikar. Only he could've carried such a huge responsibility of trying out an epic movie and also succeed in making it click. Kudos to the guy !
Finally, the man himself. A.R.Rehman! What is he ? God ?! We are done praising him and applauding him for his compositions years ago , but the man never stops. ( We dont want him to anyway :-) !! ) Hats off to A.R.R. If year 2007 saw a beautiful "Ey hairathey" from guru , We've already found the winner for 2008. Its undoubtedly "Jashn - e- bahara" !!
