Bhare Naina

Song: Bhare Naina
Movie Name : Ra.One
Singers :  Nandini Shrikar, Vishal and Shekhar
Music Director : Vishal and Shekhar

 After the dust settled down on "Chammak Challo" and "Criminal" from Ra.One, this is the song that made me sit up and take notice. Vishal and Shekhar have had a good run in the recent years and they made use of a good opportunity with Ra.One. "Bhare Naina" is exactly the kind of innovative music that you can get excited about. A delicate balance of classical singing against a rock background, this fusion works due to Nandini's voice and Vishal-Shekhar's excellent instrumentation.

Happy Krishnashtami! Since the day we found out we were going to have a boy, we were waiting to dress him up as Krishna for Krishnashtami. The day arrived, and we dressed him up with a lot of effort. As we put on the dhoti and the ornaments, and stood him up, he started walking and the first thing in my mind was the prelude of this song...I like "Muddugare Yashoda" a lot and it is one of the songs I kept singing frequently to Arjun when he was less than 3 months old. At some point, I had written about the version of this song in "Villagelo Vinayakudu" too. However, yesterday belonged to the prelude of this song. I could keep listening to it in an infinite loop all day long, looking at my sweet krishnudu!
