Song analysis - The first word that comes to mind on listening the track ‘Azeem-O-Shaan Shahensha‘ from the movie Jodhaa Akbar is ‘wow’! Music director A.R. Rahman has once again proven his mettle with this song, which has some superb lyrics penned by none other than Javed Akhtar himself. The beats in the song are captivating, and after a long time comes a song which is so sodden with the rich Indian culture, reminiscent of the bygone era which spoke of streams of gold and so on. The song is rich in the number of instruments as well, that have been used in it,with everything from nagadas, wooden sticks to the beats of ghungroos, adding to the charm of this song. The song is as magnanimous as the personailty of it’s title character, Akbar. With this song, there is only one prediction to be done: this song is here to stay for a long time to come. A.R. Rahman had delivered some great musical scores in Guru , exactly an year back, in January 2007. He comes back with his trademark style this time as well, and he has used everything from the majestic voices of the singer Mohd. Aslam, along with Bonny Chakravarti to help add that credibility to the score, and the use of the chorus in this song lifts it several notches higher than the usual run-of-the-mill stuff that is churned out by most of Bollywood music directors. Go on! Play the song, and be transferred to another time zone, while testing the power of your speakers! Hail the king, A.R. Rahman!
