Regardless, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have managed to compose some decent tracks. In summary, films such as D-Day do not have much scope for music and whatever songs are composed share a strong symbiotic relationship with the film, one slightly lost without the other. As with ‘Murshid Khele Holi’, one expects it to make more of an impact once witnessing it as part of the film’s narrative. It is a situational track featuring a dramatic musical arrangement, fresh vocals from Rahul Ram and Siddharth Mahadevan and decent lyrics. Ek Ghadi’s tune and melody are rather so-so and like ‘Murshid Khele Holi’ it overstays its duration. It is easily comparable to ‘Saans Albeli’ and ‘Kaun Si Dor’ from Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s previous outing Aarakshan and the predecessors were far more impressive. If you enjoyed ‘Arziyan’ from Delhi 6 or ‘Kun Faya’ from Rockstar you will definitely take a liking to this one.Įk Ghadi, a classical number rendered by Rekha Bhardwaj, is relatively unremarkable. In any event, it is a well composed qawali with impressive vocals from Javed Ali, Shankar Mahadevan and Munawar Masoom and equally impressive lyrics from Iyengar.

Murshid Khele Holi at 7.34 minutes is arguably more drawn out than needed but being situational in nature, it probably works well amidst the film’s narrative than on its own. However, who really sells the track is Sukwinder Singh, who drives in the song’s intense sentimentality with his strong vocals. The enthusiastically arranged sufi reincarnation works well and the Mika makes it worth you while.Īlvida is easily the best the track of the album, Nikhil D’Souza and Shruti Hassan deliver a hauntingly bittersweet track against the background of a beautifully arranged and well-penned track. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s re-composition of Dum Dumma is certainly in sync with this era.

The album begins with Mika Singh, Gaurav Gupta and Mani Mahadevan bringing an “oldie but a goodie” back to the forefront.

The film features music from Shankar Ehsaan Loy, lyrics from Niranjan Iyengar ( My Name is Khan) and the vocal talents of Mika Singh (‘Subah Hone Na De’ – Desi Boyz), Javed Ali (‘Guzarish’– Ghajini), Rekha Bhardwaj (‘Ghangra’– Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani), Sukwinder Singh ( Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola – title track) amongst others. Jo bhuli inhe zameen, jo bhula yeh aasmaan, na kehlaaen yeh insaan.ĭ-Day is an uncharacteristically authentic album according to Bollywood standards that throws up interesting results.D-Day is the latest offering from director Nikhil Advani (Kal Ho Naa Ho & Patiala House), a crime thriller starring Arjun Rampal ( Ra.One & Raajneeti), Rishi Kapoor ( Agneepath & Auranzeb), Irrfan Khan ( Paan Singh Tomar & Life of Pi), Shruti Hassan ( Luck & the upcoming Ramaiya Vastavaiya) and Huma Qureshi ( Ek Thi Daayan & Gangs of Waseypur). Indian Ocean frontman Rahul Ram's vocals appear like a sweeping voice of truth, reminiscent of Bandeh, and its arrangement like an epic orchestral score is universal, all-pervasive. The haunting quality would have been enhanced with a more appealing melody line.ĭhuaan is the quintessential "closing song". Ek ghadi has the vibe of a Vishal Bhardwaj composition sung by Rekha Bhardwaj (who is the singer here), with the mellow semi-classical flourishes that blend with psychedelia of guitars. Where it lacks in the absence of a remarkable melody, it makes up with the rest. It shuttles between a bandish and a qawwali, and there are wonderful juxtapositions with the guitars. Just the classical austerity of the harmonium, dholak and khanjari and the wonderful Hindustani classical singing makes Murshid khele holi work. Sukhwinder Singh's vocals play cameo but the portion's familiarity takes away more than it adds to the song. In Alvida, the anglicised moody vocals of Nikhil d'Souza and Shruti Hassan work beautifully, lending it the sadness of a farewell song.

Singer Mika perfectly balances flamboyance with the required Sufi essence. In Duma dum mast kalandar, SEL create a striking sound of cheap keyboards, rubab, and ample dholaks and tablas that capture the sights and sounds of a north Indian wedding. For the reworked version of any old, known classic to work, it is important that its arrangement works. For Nikhil Advani's D-Day, composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy (SEL) come up with an unconventional soundtrack that remains true to the film's setting.
