Kisna’s tunes enamor you

Music has always been the strong point of Subhash Ghai ’s films and the tunes of his film Kisna are no exception.

From his collaboration with Laxmikant Pyarelal in yesteryears to his tagging with A R Rahman in recent projects, Ghai has never compromised on the quality of music in his films.

The music of his movie Kisna is full of old-world charm with extensive use of classical and acoustic instruments to the tunes composed by A R Rahman and Ismail Darbar . Javed Akhtar ’s thoughtful and simple lyrics beautifully capture the mood and gist of many situations songs.

The story of Kisna is set in 1947 and tells the tale of characters played by Vivek Oberoi , Antonia Bernath and Isha Sharvani .

If the title of the movie happens to Kisna one can naturally expect good use of flute in the film’s music.

Flute is dominant in Hum Hain Iss Pal Yahan which is a finely composed track quite efficiently sung by Madhoshree and Udit Narayan. The soothing melody of this number and the meaningful words by Akhtar make the song one of the best compositions in the package.

Another song Woh Kisna Hai gives a colorful account of Radha’s love and Kisna’s playfulness. The album also nudges into frivolous mood with Akhtar showing well-crafted frivolity with words in Tu Itni Pagli Kyun Hai.

Akhtar’s expertise over his quill is apparent in the beautifully written song Aham Brahmasmi. Words like Mujhmein Shiv, Mujhmein Brahma, Mujhmein Vishnu, Mujhmein Krishna, Phir mein mandir kyon jaon reflect the wisdom and realization of God in self.

The frothy number Wohi Din Aa Gaya is about a bride happy at the arrival of the day when her lover will come to take vows with her. The album also has a mujra song with prologue narration by Sushmita Sen .

In a nutshell, the music of Kisna inspires love, passion and pathos in a listener.
