poster pretty much conveys that the film has a rural base
to it. With no starcast per se and zero promotion, there
isn't much to look forward to from the music either. While
female composer Runa Rizvi is at the helm of affairs here,
there is an ensemble of lyricists who contribute with a
song or two each.
MUSIC
It's a Sufi beginning for Myoho as Master Saleem begins
rendering 'Haq Ali Da' . Written by Kumaar, this one
doesn't quite beginning on a very impressive note, what
with its overall production not quite up to the mark
either. Though it is sung reasonably well, it doesn't really
carry much of an impact that could entice a listener to sit
through its duration despite it being just three minutes
long.
Composer Runa Rizvi plays a triple role in 'Saathiya' as
she co-writes (with Saveri Verma) and co-sings (with
Shahid Mallya) the track. Though the song tries to get into
a Bollywood zone while being soft and serene, it doesn't
quite manage to cover much of a distance and turns out to
be a lacklustre piece overall. Disappointing since this is
the only number in the album that had some potential to
help it register some sales.
Perhaps the makers felt that the item number 'Naag
Lapete' could help achieve that. However Runa Rizvi, who
goes solo as a singer here even while having Saveri
Verma's company for a lyricist, doesn't really end up
making a number that could demand for a repeat
hearing. With a rural base to it and minimal instruments
in the background, this 'desi' dance number just doesn't
have the kind of energy that could have allowed it to
cover any distance whatsoever. Ditto for the 'remix
version' which is doesn't fly either.
In the middle of this all there is 'Vande Mataram' that
comes next and even as one wonders how exactly it would
find place in the film, Neha Rizvi goes about singing this
one which is written by Sri Rajesh Johri. While 'Vande
Mataram' are the only two words from the National Song
with the lyricist spinning his own tale around the song,
there is no sense of patriotism that emerges eventually.
Meanwhile a new team comes to fore with Pradeep
Gandharv singing to the words written by Niket Pandey. A
situational number with a classical base to it, 'Boyega'
actually turns out to be a song that still carries some base
to it. In fact it does well in conveying the essence of the
film and makes one at least listen to it in entirety while
getting into a thinking mode about what the film is all
about. Not that you get most of the answers but still in the
context of the film, it should make its presence felt.
Same holds true for the 'Myoho - Theme Remix' which
makes for a good background piece. One can expect this
one to play at an interesting juncture in the film as it has a
pensive and involving feel to it.
OVERALL
Unfortunately, just a track or two, and that too situational
and barely passable, aren't enough to do much to the
fortunes of Myoho from musical perspective at least.
OUR PICK(S)
'Boyega'.......
