The best combination of music and lyrics is the hummable and well written Paathshala, sung quite well by Naresh Iyer and Mohammed Aslam. While the tune has a good rhythm one expects a more powerful title track from the great Rehman. Unfortunately Chitra’s thin nasal voice does not match with Daler’s rasping powerful voice. Harshdeep Kaur’s rendition of Ik Onkar is wonderful and conveys a sense of spirituality that touches the soul.įrom Gurudwara, Rehman moves to the “Punjab Ke Keth” with a very earthy bhagara-based song rendered by Daler Mehendi. It opens with the Japji Sahab, a Holy prayer of the Sikhs, something never before heard on a Hindi film soundtrack. The album has a touch of originality from the beginning. Great orchestration along with tunes that evoke a variety of moods makes this a wonderful soundtrack. While not his best work, Rehman does not disappoint.
