Dev D - Music Review

The Scintillating audio tracks of "Dev D" enchant us completely with its revitalizing melody. No doubt that "Dev D" is the best soundtrack of this year so far. The music is rhythmic and at the same time soothing to heart. It’s a brilliant fusion of folk and western music. The rule breaker, Anurag Kashyap comes each time with something bizarre. He had done that with Black Friday. And now recreating the history with "Dev D", which is high on emotions and "emosanal atyachar".

Talent is pouring in for bollywood and the latest in the brigade is Amit Trivedi. Amit Trivedi has done a brilliant job in his second film as a Music Director, after his debut with "Aamir" last year. He has done a wonderful rendition of folk and western. The music conveys the sentiments of the different characters supremely.

Each track has its own emotion to feel your heart. "Emosanal atyachar" is topping the chart everywhere. The new age love anthem creates magic on the matrimonial beat. "Saali khushi" is a nice composition. Listening to "Nayan Tarase" carries you away with its deep feeling. Another brilliant composition comes as "Pardesi". It’s a mind boggling fusion of folk and western. "Payaliya" is like a fresh air. You can’t stop tapping your feet while listening to “Hikknaal”, a bhangra with great nuances of dhol. "Ranjhana" is a soulful rendition about the separation of two souls. The fragrance of folk creates magic with the wonderful "Dhol yaara dhol". "Ek hulchul" perfectly expresses the wanderlust and lack of direction of the character at the same time. The remaining songs of the album "Aankh micholi", "Yahi meri zindagi" and "Dil mein jaagi" keep the mood of the album alive.

Kudos! to Amitabh Bhattacharya for his catchy yet brilliantly poetic lyrics, for inventing a new definition of heart break with "Emosanal atyachar". We could feel the loneliness of a lover in "Nayan tarase" and longing for happiness in "Saali khushi".
