 The music of 'Anjaana Anjaani' has released and composer duo of
Vishal and Shekhar are waiting for the response with bated breath. After
all, not just have they composed for one of their biggest films till
date, they have also re-entered into the music scene in a big way after a
rather low 2009 with 'Aladin' being their sole release. With their
music of 'I Hate Luv Storys' turning out to be a success and 'Anjaana
Anjaani' carrying great buzz, Vishal and Shekhar are waiting for
audiences' verdict.
"We have used sounds that have never been used before. There was a
lot of madness here", Shekhar remembers the times when he and Vishal
were pushed to the wall in order to get the perfect tune, "Siddharth
(Anand) understands a tune even if we just play it on a guitar. He gets
into the kind of zone where he expects something radically different. He
wanted to make strong tunes which were totally different from what we
had made for his earlier films.
Agrees Siddharth, who had A.R. Rahman compositions at the back of his
mind when he took this decision. "This is what happens to me in case of
Rahman's music as well. When you hear it for the first time, all you
feel is that it is something different, case in point being 'Taal', 'Dil
Se' or 'Delhi 6'. It's only later when you hear it repeatedly that you
start considering it as fantastic. This is why Rahman's music is cut
above everything else as it has it's own style and unique identity.
Vishal-Shekhar haven't emulated him but given me similar results".
"These are simple songs that you get to hear in 'Anjaana Anjaani' and
as Siddharth rightly says, we focused on this very factor that when you
play the music for the first time, you should experience something",
further reaffirms Vishal, "It should be simple and work at the basic as
well as intellectual level."
No wonder, the happiest man out there is producer Sajid Nadiadwala
who is assured that the hard work put by the team would definitely reap
fantastic results. "I could see that happening as Vishal-Shekhar started
churning out one tune after another. My condition was simple that if I
am making a romantic musical, it better justify it's tag. There was
never a requirement of only two or three songs being chartbusters. Each
and every song had to be special, more so because 'Anjaana Anjaani' is
the first ever true blue musical from my production house. The music had
to be my best ever. Period."
Well, with the album out on stands, it is now audiences' turn to
confirm if this indeed has turned out to be the best of the best that
the team promises to offer.
