Songs of love, passion and separation - The Shabd Music Review

By Aparajita Ghosh
Rating: 3/5

'Passion brought them together. Deception tore them apart' - goes the punchline of the movie Shabd, a love-triangle featuring Aishwarya Rai, Sanjay Dutt and Zayed Khan.

While the film's music by the duo Vishal-Shekhar is lackluster, it is lyrics by Irshad Kamil and Vishal Dadlani that form the backbone of the songs of Shabd.

The album begins with a fast number Sholon Si, sung in guttural and husky voices by Vishal and Sunidhi Chauhan. The music in this song - the guitar-violin accompaniment and the strong Salsa beats - is too overpowering and dilutes the importance of the song's lyrics. A remix version of this song - embellished with much faster beat and a lot of English chorus - appears later in the album.

Then follows the love duet Khoya Khoya Tha Duniya Ki Rahon Mein, which has monologue by Sanjay Dutt and some delectable singing by Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan. As Sonu and Sunidhi go about singing this song, there are interludes with Dutt eulogizing his beloved and asking her questions. Dutt ends the songs with words Tere Samne Jo Bhi Aayega, Use Tujse Pyar Ho Hi Jaayega. The monologue is written by Irshad.

Dutt returns with the number Bolo To, sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghosal. The song is soft and slow.

The romantic mood in the album continues with Chahaton Ka Silsila, a melodious love duet by Kumar Sanu and Sunidhi Chauhan. Lyrics by Irshad Kamil in the song are particularly impressive. One phrase from the song goes: Chun Ke rakhlo chahaton ke yeh lamhe, yun sambhalkar thaam lo pal, dekho woh kho raha hai.
A slow and soft version of this song features later in the album in Udit Narayan's sugary voice.

Then comes the best song of the album Mat Jaa (Don't Go). The song stands out not because of its music but because of incredible singing by talented Sukhwinder Singh who, once again, shows his vocal range and emotive appeal. A remix version of this song (with different musical arrangements) appear later in the album.

The album closes with the theme music of Shabd. Vishal and Shekhar have made a good use of the flute, keyboard, and violins in this two-and-a-half minute instrumental.

In a nutshell, the songs of Shabd lack the appeal to catch the fancy of masses. Except for two songs, Mat Jaa and the opening number Sholon Si, the music of Shabd doesn't offer anything delectable for ears.
