A beautiful romantic number that should only be enhanced with the picturisations. Love is compared in typical Gulzar poetry manner to nature and its surroundings. Gulzar’s lyrics are rich with feeling and emotion and aptly depict the blissful content that two lovers feel in the company of each other. The song which was being considered as the title of the film has slow beats with amazing guitar strumming heard right through. And as a first time singer he excels with his light, stroking and sensitive voice. The male rendition has been done by none other than the master Vishal Bharadwaj himself. ‘O Saathi Re’- A soulful, soothing love song that has been rendered in the sweet as honey voice of Shreya Ghoshal. Overall a nice hummable number that draws your interest at the very onset. The beats and tempo tends to increase towards the middle. There is an assorted mixture of various instruments and the dhol, claps, background recitations and guitar are an interesting eclectic mix. The lyrics are not always decipherable but the UP/Bihar accent in the song somehow only serves to enhance the appeal of the song. The beginning of the song is interesting and will definitely catch on. The title track itself begins in a rural, rustic earthy approach. What makes it unique is its fresh tune and style which has never really been heard before. The song aptly portrays Omkara as a fearless man. ‘Omkara’- The title track Omkara has been sung by Sukhwinder Singh in a completely unique and enthralling manner. Nonetheless the music album can be termed as different. However this kind of music definitely does not fall in the popular music listening category. Vishal has also decided to do a promotional video for the film based on the title song Omkara and hopes that this will add value to the film’s appeal.
Omkara has been produced by Kumar Mangat and stars Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Vivek Oberoi, Bipasha Basu, Konkana Sen Sharma and Naseeruddin Shah.
The music of the film has a very rustic and rural personified sound, in keeping with the setting and adaptation of the film. Vishal Bharadwaj has done the music for his film Omkara and the acclaimed lyricist Gulzar has penned the lyrics. When a composer turns director one is bound to expect a musical score that makes a mark. Omkara, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s play Othello has been directed by Vishal. Vishal Bharadwaj began his career as a music composer and then ventured into direction.
