Music Review: Bhoomi (Hindi)

Composer(s): Sachin-Jigar

Jai Mata Di is racy, powered by Ajay Gogavale's punchy vocals and a thumping percussion, but is also quite a situational fare. Daag carries with it a ring of familiar pathos, but Sukhwinder Singh delivers it with the requisite emotional heft, making it a heartfelt listen. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan-sung Lag Ja Gale, if you get past its pleasant sufi flourishes, is adorned by a lovely layer of sarangi, while Will You Marry Me is catchy-if-templatised folk, well-supported by Divya Kumar and Jonita Gandhi's exuberant rendition. Trippy Trippy, its interesting flute loops aside, is Neha Kakkar's show, even as the EDM synth-laden tune recalls to mind the duo's Musik Bandh Na Karo. Kho Diya is the soundtrack's easy highlight. Tunefully orchestrated and spotlessly rendered by Sachin Sanghvi, the tranquil melody is for keeps, not to mention the sound of falling water droplets that the composers incorporate beautifully all throughout. In their third release within a span of 20 days, Sachin-Jigar deliver quite a well-packaged mainstream album with Bhoomi.
