Kurbaan - Hindi Music Review - Kurbaan Saif Ali Khan Kareena Kapoor Vivek Oberoi Dia Mirza Salim-Sulaiman Rensil D'Silva

to complete the song. A deadly combination one would say. The arrangements are much synchronized with flute, keys and Indian beats. There is a pinch of Sufi feel as well. The pick of the singers is just perfect matched with Indian music making the song very melodious and pleasant to listen to. No doubt this track would be right on the top of the chartbusters and will have many fans as well.

Dua...
Vocals: Sukhwinder Singh, Kailash Kher, Marianne Aiman

The second song is almost as good as the first one. Opening with fast beats and guitar tunes the song sets the feel and this is heightened as Kailash comes in with his amazing voice. The English lyrics in the beginning are sung by Marianne D Cruz. Sukhwinder adds flavor to the song. With Kailash’s rustic tones and Sukhwinder’s energy complementing each other, the song has come out well. Another interesting factor is that there is a fusion of Khawali with rock music. The lyrics are also good. This is certainly a tune that will be hummed by many.

Ali Maula...
Vocals: Salim Merchant

A solo track of Salim Merchant Ali Maula is a very devotional kind of song. The beginning of the song sets the mood. This song is situational and could be used as background score in the movie. Importance has been given to the voice talent and not to the instruments. The voice is overpowering which fits right for the song. There are very few instruments used and especially Indian ones. One may not understand the lyrics the first time but it will sink in after a few repeats.

Ali Maula (Remix) ...
Vocals: Salim Merchant

The remix version is lot faster. The beats and the music are very energetic. The song sounds very soulful. This number will surely beat the original and hit the tracks. Salim’s suits this version aptly. A chartbuster for sure…

Rasiya...
Vocals: Shruti Pathak

A slow song that actually has a Devdas kind of feel... Here again importance has been given to the voice rather than the music. The instruments are very light and only in the background. This is a romantic song that also has a very dark, intriguing, sensual feel to it. This is another song that has a Sufi feel to it. Shruti’s voice is sweet, melodious and sensual. Very impressive and fits the fusion Indian and western classical music. The music directors have made an apt use of her voice.

Kurbaan Hua ...
Vocals: Vishal Dadlani

The last song of the album, it’s a fast racy one. However the song is bound to remind you of Nazara Hai as this one is also sung by Vishal. But the beats are good, a mix of western, rock and Sufi style. Vishal has added energy to the song. This song would also suit a fast action or chase sequence. Yet another song that will hit the chartbusters for sure…

Verdict:

There are six tracks in the album and all of them quite different and impressive. Two songs have a fusion of western, rock and Sufi feel. The lyrics and the music synchronies well. The selections of voices are apt and every singer has given their best making the album a hit for sure. The theme of the movie is different so the lyricist and music director needed to put in extra efforts and that actually shows in the way the songs have come out. A very laudable effort that will surely give the team the credit they deserve.
