Album is good but can be far better in case of vocals. Like Guzarish can be far better if sung by sonu nigam.The song misses the punch.Music is gr8 and lyrics is also gud,

THE WORD IS "FRESHNESS" WHICH IS MISSING FROM ALL THE SONGS. THEY ARE ALL OKAY SONGS, LIKE 1995'S TYPE THEY ARE ALL MELODIES BUT IT DEFINITELY IS NOT A R REHMAN'S BEST WORK. I HAVE SEEN THE TAMIL AND TELUGU VERSION OF GHAJINI AND I CANT BET YOU THE STORY WILL NOT CORRESPOND TO THE MUSIC/SONGS I JUST HEARD. I HOPE I AM WRONG CAUSE I AM THE BIGGEST FAN OF A R REHMAN AND AAMIR KHAN. IF I AM TO PICK ONE SONG THAT WOULD STAND APART FROM THE REST I WOULD SAY " KAISE MUJHE", I AM SURE REHMAN WAS MORE CONCENTRATING ON YUVVRAAJ THAN GHAJINI AND THE RESULT IS CLEARLY SEEN, THIS IS REHMAN'S WEEKEST WORK EVER !  

Well I am sorry to say this album is dissapointing..Music is not up to the mark.... The songs…  

Well I am sorry to say this album is dissapointing..Music is not up to the mark.... The songs except Guzarish are not good at all....

well on the whole the music album will be remembered of the best of the year.its nice fresh music and unexpectedly no sad song in a hind film music which is quite a change in itself.altough KAISE MUJHE is a bit slow but the lyrics doesnt drive it as a sad song.Guzarish is one of the best melody of the year,Aye Bachoo is rocking,Behka has its own rythem and Latoo was OK too.KAISE MUJHE is also not too bad.so in total 4out of 5 are good:)  

The main problem with Ghajini (Hindi version) is that Aamir Khan has created so much hype for this…  

The main problem with Ghajini (Hindi version) is that Aamir Khan has created so much hype for this film and its soundtrack that people started expecting too much from it and people started comparing it with the south version (especially, more in the South India where people have listened to the original Tamil version before and really has an idea of what Ghajini originally is). Had it been an original movie and not a south remake, then I think the people’s view towards this movie and its songs would have been totally different than what it is at present. To be frank, from my point of view, Ghajini is a story which does not contain much scope for songs other than a couple of "Behka" and "Guzarish" type of songs which are being compared to their down south songs "Oru Maalai" and "Sutrum Vizhi" respectively.<BR><BR> There is actually no need for an introduction song for Asin ("Rahatulla" in the original Tamil) cuz nothing happens before the song or after it in the Tamil version... its just Asin’s intro song thatz all... so it doesn’t matter if you experiment with it.. and "Latoo" is just an experimental intro song with no background of its own...and the same goes with "Aye Bachuchu" ("X-Machi" in the tamil version) the Jiya Khan song... (a medical college girl (Nayantara) singing that kinda sexy song in a college function that was picturized more like a bar song dance in the original).....come on there is no need for it in the film in first place..... so again, an its an experimental song done with Rock music....I think "Aye Bachchu" is somewhat better than "X-Machi" and will catch up once the video/movie is released. I would have actually liked a remix of this by Krishna Chetan included in the album.<BR><BR> Coming to "Guzarish" and "Behka," both are very original to their core and cannot be compared to Harris’ Music from Tamil... "Behka" actually has a different kind of singing... a slow jazz kinda number... which is kinda cool and with some cool dance steps can be made really good looking and hearing...and "Guzarish" is a catchy one... a simple love song...a cool one, in fact, where one can sing the song to their loved ones with little effort...<BR><BR> The only one song that keeps low from my point of view is the sad song "Kaise Mujhe," which I think will come in where Aamir thinking of Asin’s "death" and so on (hmm... with this I think there will be little change in the script/story from Tamil version too)...and the sad thing just drags a bit too much here i think... There’s also an instrumental version of it in the album. Again, I really wished a remix version of "Aye Bachuchu" instead of instrumental version of "Kaise Mujhe" in the album.<BR><BR> In the end, all I would to say is that Ghajini Hindi is totally different from its Tamil Version and has a more of experimental songs that doesn’t have any background or foreground in the movie plot and comparing it with the Tamil version is totally unfair as the music directors are totally of two different types...Rahmanji experiments a lot and goes so far to the extent of creating a fusion of two different forms of music...whereas Harris just gives the songs what it needs to be a commerical success with less experimentation.. One can feel it with Rahmanji’s songs, having had six releases in the year including in Tamil, there’s no one song which sounds similar to the other....all the 30 odd songs stands out really individually with nothing sounding similar...nothing repeated....and thatz shows the caliber of music director Rahmanji actually is.  

It must be said at the outset that I was not expecting much from Ghajini’s music. I thought that…  

It must be said at the outset that I was not expecting much from Ghajini’s music. I thought that this would essentially be a fast,typical commercial Bollywood soundtrack. I was in for a pleasant surprise.<BR><BR> Guzarish-Javed Ali, Sonu Nigam<BR><BR> A song with Sonu Nigam as background/guest vocals? Seemingly shocking, but Javed Ali rises up to the challenge to singing along with someone who he was compared with after Jashn-e-Bahara in Jodhaa Akbar. Effortless in the way he scales the high and low octaves, he infuses a rough, yet soulful tone throughout the song. The music may be simplistic on first impressions, but there’s much to savour in the arrangements, whether it is the first interlude (Rahman picking up from where he left off in Yuvraaj), the addictive hummings and the catchy rhythm. Perhaps the only drawback is that these background vocals at times drown the main voice. Otherwise, a sheer delight of a composition.<BR><BR> Kaise Mujhe-Benny Dayal, Shreya Ghosal<BR><BR> Benny Dayal may well be talented and hard-working, but he still has a lot to learn. In ’Kaise Mujhe’, his uncontrolled rendition is quite annoying, especially when contrasted with the silky voice of Shreya Ghosal, who teaches the former a thing or two about control and sweetness. To his credit, Benny does try and sing differently from ’Tu Hi Meri Dost Hain’ in Yuvraaj and he is as soulful as ever on the low notes, but for now, I prefer the instrumental, which is something given it is almost exactly the same as the original song.<BR><BR> A very earthly song, Kaise Mujhe reminds me of listening to Uyire Uyire on a starry night. It may be slow, it may be sad, but it certainly melts your heart like slow poison. Hats off to the filmmakers for incorporating such a song in what looks to be a fast-paced entertainer!<BR><BR> Bekha-Karthik<BR><BR> Now in most AR Rahman albums there is a song that comes across as pathbreaking and innovative-in Jodhaa Akbar it was Azeem o Shaan Shahenshah, in Ada it was Meherbaan, in Jaane Tu it was Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi, in Yuvraaj it was Tu Hi Meri Dost Hain. Bekha rocks!! It’s a supercool song where the composer serves us a delightful mixture of jazz, lounge and rhythmic beats, leading the listener down an unpredictable roller coaster ride of emotions. Rahman truly has a ball with this one, with the song moving along a different direction every few moments. For example, I was simply bowled over by the entry of the saxophone halfway through the first interlude. Indeed, from the assortment of tunes you hear from this song Rahman could easily create a number of separate songs moving in a different direction from just this 1 song. <BR><BR> But the main reason this song works is the energetic and enthusiastic rendition of Karthik. He makes it all look so easy, though he has to change the pace and tone of his singing quite frequently! He absorbs the playful nature of Aamir Khan in song scenes (Chand Sifarish in Fanaa and Bheja Kum in TZP) and sings this song in a naughty, charming way. The song is special in that you almost imagine that Aamir is singing this song, and Karthik’s sudden change in pace of the words at the beginning of the first stanza is amusing, it suits Aamir Khan’s personality (on-screen) quite well. <BR><BR> Daring to experiment with an unconventional tune, Rahman delivers a most entertaining and unusual song, though I must admit, it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea!<BR><BR> Aye Bachoo-Suzanne<BR><BR> Probably an item song, and IMO the weakest song in the album. It starts off quite brilliantly but then gets too loud and out of control. On the positive side, Suzanne does a great job and sings this with some attitude! <BR><BR> Latoo Latoo-Shreya Ghosal<BR><BR> The Shano Shano of Ghajini? Musically, it has nothing memorable but entertains all the way through. It is a refreshing change to see Shreya sing a fun, fast number and she is for the most part effective and instrumental in contributing to make this an entertaining, though ordinary song. <BR><BR> All in all, Ghajini is Rahman’s weakest album of the year (which does not mean much since all his albums this year have set such a high standard), but it is no less enjoyable, fun or innovative. Constrained within the limits of the genre as well as the nature and number of the songs in the Tamil version, he caters to commercial sensibilities while at the same time leaving his mark. Whether it is the interludes in Guzarish or the unusual structure of Bekha, or the soulfulness of Kaise Mujhe, this soundtrack has a lot of highlights. With Aamir Khan at the helm of affairs, weaker songs like Latoo Latoo and Aye Bachoo should be effective in combination with the visuals. <BR><BR> It takes a versatile composer to turn 360 degrees from a classical Yuvraaj to a modern and unusual soundtrack for Ghajini. That’s AR Rahman for you. Take a bow!  

Amazing.....way to go.

Ghajini is a commercial Bollywood album sans ‘Punjabi beats’ (that makes it different from the rest)! You cannot expect more than this for a commercial film. Guzarish has already become a hit and the rest I’m sure will become popular before the movie releases (more than a month left). This is obviously not Rahman’s best musical album but it will surely fit the situation. Listen to it as many times as you can and it will grow on you. Like every other A.R.Rahman fan I am waiting to experience that magical touch which is hidden right now.<BR><BR> Music is by A.R.Rahman and lyrics by Prasoon Joshi. This is my review of Ghajini.<BR><BR> Soundtrack consists of<BR><BR> 1. Guzarish<BR><BR> 2. Aye Bachchu<BR><BR> 3. Kaise Mujhe<BR><BR> 4. Behka<BR><BR> 5. Latoo<BR><BR> <B>Guzarish</B><BR><BR> This song sung by Javed Ali, is a soothing melody. The tune seems to be simple and is surely catchy. It has already become a hit. This song suits Javed Ali’s voice - good choice by Rahman. I guess this is equivalent to ‘Suttum Vizhi’ of Tamil version.<BR><BR> Remarks: Good melody.<BR><BR> <B>Aye Bachchu</B><BR><BR> This song is sung by Suzanne. It is modern. The starting of the song sounds like ‘Mere Buddy’ from Bhoothnath, but I would say it is just a coincidence, because as the song progress you cannot find any similarity. And remember music is by A.R.Rahman - he never copies! It is obviously a dance number and i guess it is equivalent to ‘X Machi Y Machi’<BR><BR> Remarks: Modern.<BR><BR> <B>Kaise Mujhe</B><BR><BR> Sung by Benny Dayal and Shreya Ghoshal, is a slow song. Is it romantic? (I’m not sure) The tune is not that simple. The orchestration is good. Shreya Ghoshal, though joins after half of the song, has done a wonderful job as always. She has an amazing voice which improves day by day! And Benny Dayal, why does he sound different every time I listen to him?<BR><BR> Remarks: Not so romantic but pleasing.<BR><BR> There is also an instrumental version of Kaise Mujhe.<BR><BR> <B>Behka</B><BR><BR> This is sung by Karthik. It is stylish with lots of variations. Karthik is singing for Rahman after so many years. He has improved a lot. This song is totally different. The promo of this song had Aamir in six different looks! I guess this song is equivalent to ‘Oru Malai’ of Tamil version.<BR><BR> Remarks: A different Jazz.<BR><BR> <B>Latoo</B><BR><BR> This song sung by Shreya Ghoshal is a peppy number. The melody is catchy. This song proves that Shreya Ghoshal is versatile. Oh man! She has an amazing voice. Nothing much to say about this song. I think this is equivalent to ‘Rasathulla’ of Tamil version<BR><BR> Remarks: Peppy number.

I think this is a best album. I don't know why people are saying its not a good album either they don't know the music or they don't like Amir Khan(some people are jealous). anyways leave that JTYJN was excellent and now Yuraaj and Gajini is excellent.

I don't agree with joginder's review. It is batter than Jodha akbar but it is not better than jaane tu ya jaane na. Overall it is good album..go for it. Gujarish and behka are the best......

I do not know what Joginder Tuteja saw in this album that he gave 4/5 and Yuvvraaj 3/4, and Rab Ne 3/4. Other than Guzarish and Behka, all other songs fail to excite.
