Nonetheless, she is in perfect form and her Punjabi rendition is right on. Music buffs will recall hearing her voice in Le Jaa of Karam earlier this year. The heroine of this awe-inspiring piece is Harshdeep Kaur. The purity of this track alone overwhelms your senses. It is a soothing Punjabi prayer that does nothing but ooze all over you. There isn’t a better way to start off a score than with Ik Onkar.
Oh and by the way, the impressive add-on of lyricist Prasoon Joshi should be yet another reason to praise the musical cast of this film…right? Let’s have a listen at what promises to be a heart-warming journey through the musical fields of A.R. However, the bigger surprise was that there would be a track featuring the legendary Nightingale, Lata Mangeshkar, and the Madras Mozart himself, A.R. For starters, it featured Aamir Khan’s rare vocals. In regards to the music itself, Rang De Basanti generated ample attention. So technically, this isn’t a period film as speculation had suggested earlier. Each character in the film will play two roles: One in present day India, and one in the 1920s. It’s already known that the story of the film is a very unique one telling the tale of an English lady returning to India to create a documentary based on her late father’s diary. So what story will the music of Rang De Basanti tell? Second, Bose – The Forgotten Music, which had no exposure at all, yet turned out to be one of Rahman’s best compositions to date. Rahman’s music? Rahman ji has had two releases this year: Mangal Pandey, which had huge hype, ended up disappointing the classes. So the music of Rang De Basanti has finally released. That’s what the history of our cinema is all about.” – A.R. “ I think Hindi films need to become proud of songs and music again.

Producer: David Reed and Adam Bowling/Ronnie Screwala Let this verse play on continuous mode when you are alone, just with yourself and put an end to your thoughts and the rest will be taken care of by it.Bollywood - Music Review - Rang De Basanti This commandment implies total surrender of oneself to the Supreme. Guru Nanak’s Hukam Razai Chalna is placed in the Japuji Sahib as the First Commandment. Guru Nanak lays emphasis on living a life based on Truth. How can then we realize the Truth and destroy falsehood Hunger (Greed) cannot be satisfied even with loads of food (wealth)Īt the time of death intellectual smartness also stays behind Prolonged silence and meditation does not quieten the mind Thinking does not reach belief, if one thinks a million times Sahas Sianpa Lakh Hohi Ta Ik Na Chale Nal No wonder then, in all known knowledge through various schools of psychology, sciences and philosophy, only God is that permanent and constant entity, hence the only Truth.īhukhia Bhukh Na Utari Je Banna Puria Bhar Guru Nanak, in a very simple yet scientific way affirms that only ‘that’ what is constant can be “Truth”. The dynamics of this Japu is revealed when one realizes that “Truth” is always used as a singular, never a plural. It is a very simple yet dynamic statement. Briefly the Japu reiterates the prologue by simply stating that GOD IS. This Japu (sloka) further reaffirms the Supremacy of God. Subsequent words in the prologue further expand this concept. The Mool Mantar is also the first text in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of the Sikhs. The Mool Mantar was uttered by the first Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, who was born in 1469 AD, in Talwandi, India. The entire Sikh religion centres on this Mool Mantar. I was listening to the “Ik Onkar” song from Rang De Basanti today after a long time and researched a little on the meaning of the Punjabi verse.
