In the contemporary times of techno music, digitally generated sounds and awe-inspiring studio effects, the music of Yash Chopra’s movie Veer Zaara brings back the nostalgic memories of melodies that pluck strings at heart with their pure form and content.
The album features melodies composed by the late music director Madan Mohan. Yash Chopra selected the tunes from Madan Mohan’s unused collection and had the legendary composer’s son Sanjeev Kohli to rearrange these melodies into songs that go with the theme of Veer Zaara.
The highlights of the album are two Punjabi songs Aisa Des Hai Mera and Lohri by Udit Narayan , Lata Mangeshkar and Gurdas Mann . While former is a patriotic song with emphatic interludes of Punjabi folk songs – Ye Desh Hai Veer Jawano Ka and Reshmi Salwar Kurta Jaali Ka -- in between, the latter is a frothy number about the male-female teasing. Those who appreciate Punjabi folk will like both songs.
