Drona Music Review
Drona’s music has been reviewed by Rediff website who are not entirely impressed. First the lukewarm response to trailers and now the dismissal music, Drona looks like a complete dud according to me!
The title track, which introduces the listener into the legend of Drona, rendered by him is stylish, groovy and catchy — both in sound and arrangement.
It may not have the finesse of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s techno-friendly creations for Don, but the minimalism and rawness only adds to Drona’s overall appeal. Its other version Drona redux, featuring Sunidhi Chauhan [Images], is strikingly glamorous and a few rungs higher on intensity and aggression.
Serene and dulcet, Nanhe nanhe boasts of an ultra melodious Sadhna Sargam entering the lullaby mode, playing around with sweet-sounding metaphors. Ideally, Ghanekar could have gone easy on the instruments and let Sargam take complete charge. Nevertheless, Nanhe makes a smooth impact.
Shaan [Images] tries to do a Frank Sinatra in the dripping-with -cheer Khushi. While the bounciness is nice and all, it’s not particularly infectious. Quite the opposite, actually.
The excessively melodramatic temperament of the track — in mood and orchestration — doesn’t help one bit.
A subject like Drona, high on make-believe and enchantment, screams for adventure and surreal in its compositions. And while the soundtrack has its moments, in entirety it’s too average to achieve any of these elements.
