Lootera (Amit Trivedi)
Sawaar Loon is a classy, elegant, and simplistic song that amazingly composed. Who knew Monali Thakur could sing a song that wasn't a dance or party based. Definitely one of the biggest surprises of the year! The album continues to leave me speechless with Ankahee. Amitabh Bhattarcharya sounds splendid while the drums in the background is perfect. The violins are what stole me in Shikayatein, it well sung by Mohan Kanan. I haven't really warmed up to Monta Re yet maybe because I have the other songs on repeat, I like the guitar/sitar sounding instrument. Zinda is like magic with Amit Trivedi behind the mic, a nice soft-rock song with those marvelous orchestration. Manmarziyan is outstanding because of the sitar/sharangi instrument and again the voilins and cellos. Shilpa Rao put an incredible voice to this ethereal track.
Recommendation: This is a MUST-BUY album. It's rare for an album to be so incredibly entertaining while innovative and powerful. I don't have a favorite song in the album because each are amazing! Definitely in the running for one of the best albums for the year!
The film is mesmerisingly slow, embellished with some fine performances and a heart wrenching story. A beautifully woven story from an accomplished director, and memorable performances from the lead cast.
