Jodhaa Akbar Music - My View

Well,i am not going to say anything new about JA.There have been some really good reviews,indepth ones.For me,Its just an gem of an album.Azeemon Shaan Shensha is one of Rahman's best compositon of recent times.Its so rich that you cant value it with anything,its a amazing creation from Rahman.(Hear it in your headphones). Thank god people dont get diabetics by listening to music,as Jashn E Bhaara is so sweet that you cant have enough of it even though you have heard it dozen times.Javed Ali Excels.In Lamhon Ke daman Mein,With such a great tune and effective chorus parts,madhushree and sonu's voice sounds divine.Khwaja mere Khwaja,rahman sabke dil mein samaja.Rahman' s singing is just superb.Next we have bhajan ,Man Mohana.one of my favs in the album,another amazing composition. (Thankgod Ash didnt sing it,otherwise she would have got more singing offers than acting)



Oh ya..i forgot 2 rocking instrumentals. They all rock and rock big time.This album has been worth the wait.Rahman has given his best and started the year of with a bang.I got no words,but to simply say that We love you and You are the best.


I was reading so many positive reviews,that i was dying to read a negative one...just to see how much stupid can anyone be..and then we got one..in form of India Fm's review.But another thing i noticed is,We all fans seem to have liked this album.This is something new :) . I am eagerly awaiting for bollyvista's review.There music reviews are generally good.


Happy listening to JA !
