Contrary to popular misconception, Karan Johar's music hasn't stuck on to the world of
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. It has continued to evolve and though it's hard to ignore the romantic breeze evidenced in his films, the fact is that he has in fact strived to be different, though not completely but at least partially, in each of his outings. However, in
My Name Is Khan, he along with Shankar Ehsaan Loy and lyricist Niranjan Iyengar have brought not a partial but a substantial difference to the way music in his films is being looked at. Doing something like this was always meant to be a calculated since music as heard in
My Name Is Khan doesn't belong to the kind that results in blockbuster sales. However, given the fact that the film boasts of who-is-who of the film and music world, has a guaranteed chartbuster in the form of '
Sajda', comes with a huge curiosity value and overall boasts of a quality feel to it, it is bound to become further popular after the release.
When singers like Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Shankar Mahadevan and Richa Sharma come together, you know for sure that there is a quality outing in the offing. This is what one gets from '
Sajda', a qawalli, which boasts of some intoxicating rhythm and comes so quickly on your lips that just one listening and you can already hear yourself humming it around. It is amazing to see Rahat Fateh Ali Khan delivering a chartbuster track practically every second month and this New Year couldn't see a better outing than '
Sajda' which maintains an Indian quality to it throughout it's duration. Boasting of a timeless appeal to it, '
Sajda' is a kind of number that is not dependant upon the movie for which it has been composed and promises to play on for many more months to come.
