Review of 'Meri Jaan'

Music: Pravin Mani
Lyrics: Piyush Mishra

After a very successful acting debut opposite Kamal Haasan in his 'Hey Ram', Vasundhara Das also helped a few songs of A.R. Rahman and Deva, such as 'Shakalaka Baby' in 'Mudhalvan', 'Aiyyo Pathikichu' in 'Rhythm' and 'Kattippudi Kattippudida' in 'Kushi', sizzle. And now she has released her much-expected pop album 'Meri Jaan'.

The title song, composed by Piyush Mishra and Pravin Mani, begins with a flute track and has fused quite a few different sounds and moods, such as qawwali and pop. It gives ample opportunity to Vasundhara to exhibit her vocal range and she comes out right on top.

A beautiful guitar riff by Viji begins 'Bheegi Dastaan'. The song, composed by Pravin and Vasundhara, is definite proof that Hindi pop music has come of age and can even accommodate the rock influence.

'Ghar Mera' finds Vasundhara in a mellow and reflective mood, thanks to Piyush's lyrics. 'Bola re' has an infectious dance beat and features the lively band `Acana', which is from Cuba.

'Mera Nishaan' sounds as if it has been lifted from the climax scene of a typical Hindi film with music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal or R.D. Burman. I can even picture a Helen or a Bindu dancing to the tune of this Arabian song.

'Aao Pyaar' is a fast-paced song, composed by Pravin, Piyush and Vasundhara, and again features Viji on the guitar.

'Mera Mehboob' and `Sohni, sohni' have been written and composed by Sukhwindra Singh. In the first song, Vasundhara describes the traits of her lover and her search for him, while the second is a high-voltage dance number. 

A good attempt, but not as diverse as Pravin Mani's score for the movie 'Little John'.
