I don't need to wax eloquent about the wonderfully crafted soundtracks of the movie 'Kaminey'. Just notice the lyrics... wow !! The way Sunidhi Chauhan and Rekha Bharadwaj's voices keeping popping in without even a hint of difference.... never knew it was not one singer. And the great panache with which Vishal Bharadwaj has sung the title track. Gulzar knows that Vishal Bharadwaj will treat each word with the importance that it deserves in the smaller scheme of things. Yaaa.... words have a macro as well as micro meaning. A good poet will try and reveal these two meanings to the listener.
But overall this collection is worth a standing ovation for Gulzar and Vishal's ability to bring forth newer dimensions of mainstream music. I couldn't have missed one of my favourite singers Suresh Wadkar, leaving his touch on this colletion. Suresh has been underutilized by the industry and Vishal knows what magic singers like him, sukhvinder singh and kailesh kher bring to the soul of the song.
Love this collection.... loved 'Machis' for shaping my appreciation for poetic music and love 'Kaminey' for revealing a genre of music that is surprisingly mainstream. Ya, how did this soundtrack manage to be mainstream... is still a huge surprise for me. Lol !!
