Hit: 5 Stars
As the soundtrack to what may be regarded in years to come as the "Gone With The Wind" of 21st century world cinema, the soundtrack to Lagaan does not disappoint. In fact, for a cinematic genre that is so unequivocally linked to its musical score, Lagaan lives up to all expectations, serving up a potpourri of songs and melodies, beautifully composed, and flawlessly sung by some of the vocalist heroes and heroines of Bollywood: Sukhwinder Singh, Udit Narayan, Asha Bhonsle, Lata Mangeshkar, and Anuradha Shriram, to name a few. The opening number "Ghanan Ghanan" is a rousing number combining male and female vocals and a percussive beat, a foretelling of things to come. "Mitwa" follows by increasing the tempo up a notch, and is perhaps the most contemporary number in the album. Then comes the first jewel of the soundtrack, "Radha Kaise Na Jale," the song that accompanies the famous dance of the Gopis (which any Indian youngster will remember performing at their elementary school arts expo), a BEAUTIFUL song with an irresistible rhythmic beat. The second jewel, indeed the love anthem, is "O Rey Chhori," where Indian classical music meets and merges with Western symphonies (the few seconds when the Western female vocal, brilliantly done by Alka Yagnik, fades into the Indian percussion, is pure ecstasy!). The album ends with two symphonic numbers and the third jewel, "O Pallanhaare," a very spiritual and moving rendition of a prayer. Yes, this soundtrack is a MUST for fans of Bollywood music and worldbeat alike: a reaffirment of why we love the movies and music that is so uplifting, it crosses cultural boundaries.
