Beautiful Beyond expectations
, November 11, 2002Reviewer: Crispin C - See all Crispin C's reviewsIf ever there was a soundtrack that evoked happiness, togetherness, longing, passion and all those emotions that make up the human psyche, this is it. Those of you familiar with the work of Nitin Sawney and Talvin Singh will have a hint of what some of this great soundtrack is about. Even if you can't understand the words, it's the emotions and the rhythms that get to you. The almost 60's pop of Aaj Mausam Bada Beimann Hai; the ambient drum 'n' bass of Fabric; the joyful call and response of Mendhi Madhorama Pencha (itself a standout scene in the movie); the tenderness of Love and marigolds and the eminently danceable Aaj Nachle combine to make this one of the coolest soundtracks this year. See the movie first though! ... -

Pro Reviews: Monsoon Wedding (Soundtrack)
| EXPERT RATING: No Rating From AMG Reviews Monsoon Wedding director Mira Nair has described her beautiful family drama as "a Bollywood film, made on my terms." It's a pretty apt description, though on the surface the subtly acted art house picture may seem to have very little in common with the elaborately choreographed musical productions for which the Indian film industry is famous. Whereas Bollywood products are generally characterized by broadly painted heroes and villains, Nair's characters are among the most threedimensional and honestly realized in international cinema. They are not the sort of people who populate Bollywood entertainments, but they are the sort of people who pay to see them. They don't burst simultaneously into song, but they do dance to Indian pop music in their living rooms. They do belt out traditional celebratory songs at wedding parties. What Monsoon Wedding shares with Bollywood is its appreciation of India's deeply rooted cultural enthusiasm for song and dance. The soundtrack reflects the delightfully broad spectrum of the music that plays on middleclass stereos all over modern India. There is a thumping electronic Hindi disco tune, a soaring orchestral romantic ballad from the vinyl era, an infectiously melodious contemporary pop duet, and a festive traditional spiritual performed by the internationally revered Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn. But most impressive of all is the film's original music. Sukhvinder Singh's rousing theme song, "Aaj Mera Jee Kardaa," expertly weaves traditional folk elements with sleek pop rhythms and strings. In a perfect alternate reality, it would probably be an Oscar winner. So would Mychael Danna's score. A recent Hindu groom himself and one of the most innovative composers in North American cinema, Danna elevates Nair's naturalistic handheld camera narrative to a transcendent spiritual plane. The mystical "Fuse Box" almost singlehandedly accomplishes the task of transforming the clownish wedding planner P.K. Dubey from a hilarious marigoldeating Indian version of Martin Short's Father of the Bride character to a thoroughly credible and even charming romantic lead. Unfortunately, that exquisite melody is hyped up to the point of tedium in two pounding techno remixes at the conclusion of the soundtrack album. They are a regrettable misstep in an otherwise brilliant compilation. - Evan Cater, All Music Guide |
