Parched Music Review
The album has five songs with a couple that are traditional or folk songs from the area where the movie is set. The remaining three have one ‘item number’ which shows Bijli – one of the the four women whose lives the movie follows. Swanand Kirkire writes the lyrics for the songs and captures the theme of the movie and the locale very well. Although it is unlikely that the songs will appeal to listeners, they seem appropriate for the movie. Hitesh Sonik composes folksy tracks and uses traditional instruments that do justice to the movie theme. Kalpana Patowary sings Bhookamp with the oomph needed to communicate the mood of this catchy song.
The traditional songs will give the listeners something new to experience. Gazi Khan Barna sings both these numbers in the right spirit and you can imagine yourself sitting around a fire with the local folk singers. Rahul Vohra mixes Hichki with traditional and modern instruments to create a groovy fusion track that you will want to put on your lounge playlist.
MovieRecipe Verdict: It is unlikely that you will listen to these songs out of theaters.
