Director: Kalpana Lajmi
His score for 'Gajagamini' did not become as popular as his earlier works. The fault, I think, lies more with the director of the movie, M.F. Husain, than with Dr. Hazarika because the theme restricted much of the composer's creativity. 'Daman' allows the composer all the freedom to imagine & create and he doesn't let his director down. The music of 'Daman' is as good, if not better than Dr. Hazarika's music for 'Rudaali'. 'Daman' tackles the serious but seldom openly-discusses the issue of marital rape. And in the songs, one can almost feel the character played brilliantly by Raveena Tandon changing from a happy, newly married girl to a battered wife.
'Sun sun goria' has a folkish feel and is a cute marriage song by Alka Yagnik. The opening lines of the song 'Hey Ram Ram' have become quite popular by now, as they have been extensively used in the promos for the movie. 'Sar sar hawa' is again a folkish song but with a very modern and unique chorus. The song, by Hema Sardesai, is repeated on Side B too. 'Gum sum', sounds very haunting in Kavita Krishnamurthy's voice. Kavita is in a terrific form in the song, as she was earlier in 'Mera hansa gaya videsh' in 'Gajagamini'.
'Hu hu paagal hawa' is a melodious song by Ishaan and Kavita, and proves to be popular. Dr. Hazarika himself sings 'Gum sum', the Hindi translation of his original song in Assamese. His deep sonorous voice adds another dimension to this haunting song. An album steeped in the folk traditions and Assamese music. Venky |

A good year for Dr. Bhupen Hazarika and his fans. This is his second album in a couple of months, the first being
'Gajagamini'.
Jaspinder Narula dons a different role and renders
'Bhagwati songs', a totally different genre when compared to her earlier work. All her earlier songs were fast-paced numbers or pop songs, but she doesn't seem handicapped by this and acquaints herself well singing the devotional song.
'Bahar hi bahar' is a very youthful and peppy number with trumpets and guitars dominating the score. It has been sung well by Dominique and Shaan. It is indeed surprising that the name of the female vocalist has not been mentioned.
