Music for your soul - The Viruddh... Family Comes First Music Review

By Aparajita Ghosh
Rating: 3/5

The music of Viruddh is in sharp contrast to soundtracks of other Bollywood movies. Firstly, the album has just one original composition and the remaining songs are compiled from non-filmi albums of various artists. Secondly, the majority of songs are devotional numbers.

The film has Amitabh Bachchan and Sharmila Tagore playing an elderly couple who wage a struggle against the system after the death of their only son (John Abraham). Directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, the movie also stars MTV VJ Anusha Dandekar (as John's love interest). Sanjay Dutt plays a cameo in the movie.

The opening song Bhooli Bisri Yaadon Mein is the only original composition in the album. Composed by Anand Raaj Anand, the song is a sad number about memories of the past. Newcomer Ajit Parab sings this sombre song quite impressively.

The album then nudges into poetic mood with Sufi saint Meer's classic verses in Faqeerana Aaye from 'Bazm-e-Meer' album. Sung and composed brilliantly by Roop Kumar Rathod, this song is rendered in the style of a ghazal.

Rathod's wife Sonali invokes the feeling of pain and despair in Gham Raha, another song from 'Bazm-e-Meer'.

Then follow Kabir's devotional songs taken from the album 'Gulzar Presents Kabir'. Pakistani Sufi singer Abida Parveen sings three songs - Mann Lago Yaar, Bhala Hua Meri Matki and Saahib Mera Ek Hai. The three songs speak about reunion of the soul with God, about unconditional love, and about the oneness of the Supreme Being.

Abida Parveen's soul-stirring voice and Bhavdeep Jaipurwale's musical arrangement makes these songs the best of the lot in Viruddh album.

Ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh creates a lilting mood with the mellow bhajan Hey Jag Trata from 'Ishwar Allah Tere Naam' album, composed by Ashit Desai.

Singer Shankar Mahadevan pays his tribute to Lord Ganesha in the devotional Sanskrit stuti Shree Ganeshay Dheemahi. The song is taken from the album 'Vishwavinayaka'.

The musical album of Viruddh closes with a 7-minute violin piece 'Melancholy' by 'Violin Brothers'.

The music of Viruddh may not appeal to the youngsters who dig dance numbers and romantic ballads.

A devotional album in essence, the songs and the music of Viruddh is soothing and healing. It is meant for your soul.
