Gifted Telugu Film Maker S.S. Rajamouli endeavors into
Bollywood once more with his newest masterpiece Baahubali starring Telugu
superstars Prabhas and Rana Daggubati along with Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah
Bhatia. This 250 Crore ambitious period movie has been presented by Dharma
Productions in Hindi and has already created buzz all over courtesy its
production values and it’s amazing special effects. Veteran composer M.M. Kreem
is the chosen one for the music department. With Manoj Muntashir in charge of
the written word, one waits to see the magic that will be wielded by this gifted
yet underutilized veteran composer.
The first song Mamta Se Bhari sets the tone for this album
with Bombay Jayshri’s well-expressed vocals proving to be the perfect foil for
this magnificent number and with its strings and drums arrangement is sure to melodious
for the listeners. The soft notes of the opening lines lay the perfect
foundation for this striking track which when the orchestration kicks in
transforms into a wonderful number of epic proportions! A superb start to the
album really!
The next one is Swapn Sunehere which is an angst-ridden
short melody sung by Bombay Jayshri and Shwetha Raj. In spite of its
minimalistic instrumentation, Swapn Sunehere has maximum impact thanks to the poignant
vocals of its lead singers as well as the optimum use of violins by composer
Kreem. This one is short but touching!
The song Khoya Hain which is instantaneously appealing. Sung
by Neeti Mohan and Kaala Bhairava, the opening notes of this track remind one
of San Sanana from Asoka. But from thereon, the composition takes a totally
different trajectory altogether with the chorus specifically standing out. From
mystical to the majestic, this track has it all - the arrangement, though
semi-modern, is outstanding and not to mention, the excellent singing by the
lead singers.
The next one is Kaun Hai voh which starts off with some brilliant
drum beats followed by some poignant chants. The semi-devotional track in
praise of Lord Shiva has been sung quite well by Kailash Kher but one does feel
a different singer like Hariharan or Shankar Mahadevan could have done more
justice to this track, since it is high on traditional music. The background
vocals by Mounima is superb and so is the arrangement. M M Kreem proves yet
again that he is indeed a master in his terrain!
The next Song Panchhi Boley is a romantic track and has been
sung by the composer himself along with Palak Muchhal. The arrangement with the
violins and other string instruments is enjoyable and nice but it is not
exactly mind-blowing though the sweet voice of Palak Muchhal sure adds to the
likeability factor.
M M Kreem’s next song Manohari is a rhythmic number sung by
Neeti Mohan and Divya Kumar. The composition is light and fun and the energetic
singing by the lead singers is the major highlight of this appealing number.
The album ends with Jal Rahin Hain is a battle cry number
and is the kind of song that one expects in a period movie such as this. From
the blow of trumpets to the conch shells to the various string instruments in
the orchestra, the arrangement has it all and the effect is just amazing.
Overall, the soundtrack of Baahubali is splendid and magnificent.
Composer M M Kreem has gone all out to create a soundtrack fitting for an epic movie
such as this and has indeed done justice to Director S S Rajamouli’s vision.
The songs Mamta Se Bhari and Khoya Hain are melodious and praiseworthy
to listen.
