Sonchiriya Assessment {2.0/5} & Assessment Score
EXPECTATIONS
It’s actually stunning to discover a soundtrack for Sonchiriya. Sure, director Abhishek Chaubey has integrated music in his earlier movies like Ishqiya, Dedh Ishqiya and Udta Punjab. Nonetheless, with the Chambal setting of Sonchiriya, you do not fairly anticipate music in there. Nevertheless, Abhishek has completed that by bringing on board composer Vishal Bhardwaj and lyricist Varun Grover.
MUSIC
It’s a Western nation music starting for Sonchiriya as Mame Khan brings on an ‘alaap’ for ‘Baaghi Re’ whilst a guitar performs within the background. This one has a haunting really feel to it which fits effectively with the theme of the movie. Furthermore, there may be this distinct Vishal Bhardwaj component that comes into play for ‘Baaghi Re’ which units it aside from the opposite soundtracks that you simply hear in Bollywood. Not that this one, or its ‘remix model’ that follows, could be a chartbuster however within the context of the movie it performs its half effectively.
Rekha Bhardwaj, who undoubtedly comes up with a tune or two at any time when Vishal Bhardwaj is the composer, goes solo for the title tune ‘Sonchiraiya’ which is later heard within the ‘reprise model’ as effectively. This one is a gradual transferring comfortable quantity and has a classic 70s really feel to it which is according to the sort of songs that had been created by Gulzar again then. This time round although it’s Varun Grover because the lyricist. Whereas but once more there is no industrial worth that the tune comes with, it ought to play effectively as part of the movie.
Arijit Singh comes on board for ‘Ruan Ruan’ and just about sings this one in a method that’s truly synonymous with that of Vishal Bhardwaj himself. The sound of the whistle that accompanies the tune is once more according to the Western nation music and also you just like the intoxicating really feel that comes with the core of ‘Ruan Ruan’. Had this tune been promoted neatly and aggressively, it may effectively have lined some sort of distance. That mentioned, regardless of Arijit on board, this one too is mainly fairly area of interest and for a choose viewers.
Subsequent to reach is the standard quantity ‘Naina Na Maar’ which has its lyrics recreated by Ashok Mizaj Badr. First upbeat variety of the soundtrack, this one has Sukhwinder Singh on the helm of affairs and his free circulation mode of singing does assist in bringing good vibrancy into the proceedings. He’s supported by Rekha Bhardwaj and whereas there may be some sort of vitality that is available in when the tune is being performed, one waits to see how it’s picturised for the large display screen.
Final to reach is an out and out situational quantity ‘Saanp Khavega’ which is mainly concerning the ‘survival of the fittest’. A sort of quantity which is mainly put collectively for the aim of aiding the storytelling as an alternative of taking part in an element the place the industrial side of the soundtrack is enhanced, this Sukhwinder Singh sung quantity nearly passes muster.
