Mann Mohana

Song : Mann Mohana
Movie Name : Jodhaa Akbar
Singer : Bela Shende
Music Director : A R Rehman

I have to re-iterate what I said for my other entry from this film. It is awesome to witness Rehman creating magic. If a spectator like me feels so, how must the singer who is singing this feel ? how would the flautist for this song feel ? Joy beyond words! Rehman's genius comes to the fore once again in this intricate composition. My favourite part of this song is the brilliant first interlude. Rehman takes you to places you never imagined you would go. Words really fail me as I try to express how much I like this first interlude.

Enadhuyire

Song : Enadhuyire
Movie Name : Bheema
Singer : Chinmayee, Sadhana Sargam, Sowmya Rao, Nikhil Mathew
Music Director : Harris Jayaraj

I woke up to this song from Bheema this morning. I have heard this song a lot of times before and I was almost sure that it was sung by Naresh Iyer. The fact that this song reminded me so strongly of "Munbe Vaa" bothered me and I didn't get hooked onto it then. Today the song latched on, and strongly reminded me of other haunting melodies from the Harris Jayaraj-Vikram-Trisha combination (Pudichiruku and Ithuthana from Saamy). After today I feel this song holds its ground and will go down as one of Harris' best songs.

And speaking of the singers, here's a blog of Chinmayee


My fav part of this song is towards the end of the first stanza
