Ok Jaanu Music Review: A.R. Rahman's music & Arijit Singh-Jonita Gandhi's voice give the album both a classical and modern touch!

Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor are all set to entice the fans with their hot yet breezy chemistry in the upcoming film, Ok Jaanu. It is a remake of Mani Ratnam's Ok Kanmani. 

Just like Ok Kanmani, the music of Ok Jaanu is also composed by A.R. Rahman and if such a music maestro is the man behind an album, it's sure to live up to your expectations. The film is all set to hit the screen on January 13 and with 8 days left for its release, we give out the film's music review. 

Ok Jaanu Title Track 

Jaanu… chal na kuch karte hain,Aa lakeerein padhte hain, Chal na kuch karte hain, Dheere dheere zara dum lena, Pyaar se jo mile gham lena, Dil pe zara woh kam lena

The title track by A.R. Rahman and Srinidhi Venkatesh is such that it'll make you listen to it on loop. The song might give you the vibes of O Humdum Suniyo Re from Saathiya. Electric guitar, bass vocals, trumpet and keyboard adds to that trippy feel of the song. The lyrics by Gulzar are worth praising for.

Enna Sona

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Kinna Sohna Rab Ne Banaya did set the bars high, but A.R. Rahman & Arijit Singh do not disappoint us in the recreated version, Enna Sona. The song transcends you to some dreamy place and you just want to keep singing the track thinking of all the good memories of your life. Soft guitar strings do the rest of the job to make the song even more beautiful. Try and not get addicted to this number!

Jee Lein

Jee Lein, by Savithri R Prithvi, Arjun Chandy, Neeti Mohan and A.R. Rahman, will make you stand and bow in front of the composer's selection of the singers and the music. Just start your car and go for a long drive with the song turned on and you would not want your trip to end. Acoustic guitar, bass strings, keyboard and live instruments give the song an entirely different feel. Hats Off!

Kaara Fankaara

If you're a street dancer, Kaara Fankaara is just the perfect fit for you. The song ups the energy level of the jukebox and Hard Kaur adds on to the pump factor with her rap sections. Drums, electronic guitar and keyboard make Kaara Fankaara a high tempo song. What will amaze you is that bhangra fused intersection in the song. 

Saajan Aayo Re

With Saajan Aayo Re, the trajectory of the jukebox changes from rock to classical. But, this sudden transition doesn't create any hassles or sound unpleasant to the ears. Jonita Gandhi and Nakash Aziz do true justice to the song and music buffs will surely praise the two for their modulation from a low tone to a high tone. Just close your eyes and the song will do its magic. 

Maula Wa Salim

It's not wrong to say the genetics of music runs in the family. A.R. Rahman's son A.R. Ameen sang an Arabic prayer for Mani Ratnam's Ok Kanmani and it's retained in the remake too. You're just left spellbound with the conviction A.R. Ameen has. Hands Down! 

Sunn Bhavara

Sunn Bhavara continues giving the jukebox a classical touch. Harmonium, tabla and those traditional tunes with Shashaa Tirupathi's voice make you applaud A.R. Rahman for his brilliance. There's a section where tabla is fused with piano and you just want to keep on hearing it. Singing such a song does need a lot of practice and Shashaa doesn't disappoint us. 

The Humma Song

Here comes the punch and that's why A.R. Rahman saved it for the last. Tanishk Bagchi, Jubin Nautyal, Shashaa Tirupati and Badshah's version of the film Bombay's Humma Humma is zara hatke, but dhamakedaar. The song will slowly get into your head and then it would be difficult for you to stop playing it on loop. Guitar riffs, keyboard and live instruments add that element of jazz to the song and you can't stop tapping your feet to it. 

Verdict: In a nutshell, the jukebox is all what you can expect from A.R. Rahman. From the selection of the singers to the music, everything is so right about this album and doesn't give you a reason to not like it. 

We give it 80 out of 100 on the Pinkvilla meter!
