An elegant musical!
21 May 2021
A feel good musical, blended with mixed emotions, genres, and technology. And a tailor made script so as to befit the high and lower octaves plying the audience through a montages of musical genres depicting each emotion such as Humnawa (western classical) portrays a sofasticated blend of music with 5th generation tech world of AI, Nayi Nayi (rock) represents cheers of youthfulness, Sofia (soft rock) represents love, Sai (soul) takes us through the wings of devotion, o meri Chand (another soul) reminds us of a mother's lullaby, jwalamukhi (epic rock) underscores rage, stubbornness, and ones determination, o ashiqa (another epic rock) marks the void created by motherhood and Soja (jazz) portrays shades of desire, and enigma. This way the situations that takes us through out the movie are interposed in such a way to acquaint the audience through a coaster of musical genres nothing much on note as the story is just old wine Ina new bottle. However there are some take away such as individual performances from Ehan, Lisa, Ranjit Barot, Edilsy, Rahul Ram, Ashwat, and Tenzing. The storyline is just mediocre but the music is indeed refreshing, elegant, diverse, and riveting. On the whole it's worth a one time watch, but the music is resonant.
