MY NAME IS KHAN soundtrack (Sony Music):
(3.5 stars out of 5)
Flowing with a good deal more melodicism than most Bollywood productions, SEL’s score reflects the East-meets-West theme of Karan Johar’s controversial film. Singer Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and jazz pianist Loy Mendonsa mix jazz improvisation and folky guitar strains with Sufi-style chants, cinematic strings, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s stirring qawwali singing, rock arrangements and instrumentation. Soundtrack aficionados will be more intrigued than casual listeners, although the elegant packaging and liner notes are likely to pique interest in the film itself. mynameiskhanthefilm.com.
