Moksha : Forgotten Soundtracks [6]

Rajesh Roshan-the melody man. Unlike his as-usual projects with brother Rakesh Roshan, here Rajesh did scored fabulous tracks for Moksha : Salvation [2001] directed by ace cinematographer Ashok Mehta. In addition to Breathtaking visuals, the music did wonders while watching to the movie. Moksha was on shelves for so long, and when it got released, only thing people remember-was the item song 'Jaan Leva'. Where 'newcomer' Arjun Rampal was stretching his biceps with [umm..] Kalpana Pandit. And somewhere in background there was Manisha Koirala [overweight, so hiding]. A fantastic dance number sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Kavita Krishnamurty. Both singer sung this really really well. Though the track is reminiscent of 'Kambakht Ishq' [pyar tune kya kiya] released at same time, but still it stands out. Where are you Kavita ji? You are my most favorite. :(

Did I forgot to add that lyricist is Javed Akhtar? Well, It came to my mind when I heard next track. 'Mohabbat Zindgi Hai' a sweet girly song sung by Madhushree. Song I love most is up next. Extremely lovely 'love'ly song 'Humko Pyaar Hai' sung by Kamaal Khan [yes, the same 'o o jane jaana' wala] and Sneha Pant [? not pants :D ]. A really sweet voice, we've never heard after. The song starts with trademark Rajesh Roshan - birds chirping, and sounds of nature. And the beats takes you over. With sweet voice of Sneha. Sweet sweet song.

Javed ji, shows his spark in next track 'Nani Maa' [maternal grandma]. - Lullaby version Sung by Mahalaxmi. A cute song gives nostalgic feeling and take us to our childhood. Back to our grandparents when we were child. Another version, as a quite 'opera-ish' - Dominique does outstanding singing in second version of Nani Maa' . Really really great singing indeed.

While last track 'Seep Mein Moti' which also comes twice, has shades of dark. Truth of life, betrayal and more. I prefer Shaan's version over Pamela Jain's. Again Javed ji has written excellent words.

The album also was one of the first venture of duo Salim-Suleiman. They had created Wow! background score for the movie. Album has got Four superb Instrumental tracks by them. Beautiful World, Change Is The Only Constant, Salvation and my favorite Beginning of the End. The tracks set mood-'dark mood' for the movie.

Overall, its a fantastic soundtrack for equally fantastic movie. I loved the movie. And Arjun too. I totally disagree with people who tells Arjun 'wooden face'. Also here is Nicki's review of the movie (with fantastic screencaps as always :) ]

Here are all the videos. [all videos are also uploaded by Nicki]

  1. I was hoping that Moksha would revive Manisha's career. Alas, it didn't :-( Anyway, the movie has some good songs. Jaan Leva and Mohabbat Zindagi Hai are nice.

    btw, I'm a biiiiig Kavita Krishnamurthy fan too! Watched her in Lil' Champs last week. It was amazing!

    Everyone likes JAAN LEVA for the very obvious reasons, nice composition with Sukhwinder and Kavita Krishnamurthy. Apart from this, Nani Maa-Mahalaxmi verson is my long time favourite! Actually after this song only, I started listening to Mahalaxmi more attentively! Just notice how clearly she is rendering those beautiful words! She is, no doubt, a very nice singer!

    For me, Manisha was a very good actress. It's just that you cannot fit her in any role, not a diversified actress but I think, when I saw her in MANN, KHAMOSHI and AKELE HUM AKELE TUM, I just couldn't think of someone else in those roles! she was really superb in those ones!

  3. Moksha! A brilliant storyline went into ashtray because of Ashok Mehta. Hope it was his first and last movie.
    Also Arjun Rampal, Manisha Koirala..eh!

    I remember Jaan Leva song, it was a tremendous hit.

    I think reason behind failure of the movie was its long shelved haalat. People lost interest, and Arjun's first movie became Pyar,IshqMohabbat.

    I think Kavita is victim of politics in music long back in nineties. [you know her competitor :)] It was only Rahman, who was giving her songs, which later stopped too. Sad for Hindi music industry.

    Hi. Yes, that's why I have posted this article. Just to tell people that besides the great Jaanleva song, there are beautiful tracks in the movie. And there, your favorite Naani Maa. Though I prefer Dominique's version, Mahalaxmi's rendition is so sweet.

    Manisha lost it just like MeenaKumari. She didn't cared seriously, and other actresses took over her. Otherwise she was next, when Madhuri got [temporarily] retired. I love her in Khamoshi, such a natural girl.

    Hi Shubhajit. I have been following your blog [poems too] and that leaves me confused what to comment :) Keep writing.
    Ashok Mehta did wonders in the movie. Though he was late, but never mind when he gave this final product. And it was but natural that in India, such movies hardly find any audience. Take for example MFHussain's movies.

    Yes, Jaanleva was a huge hit. But how about other tracks?

  5. I think Manisha looks great! I don't think it was that she didn't care, I think it was her problems with alcohol addiction that kept her from succeeding. :-( I hate how many lives it ruins.

    On a brighter note, I love this soundtrack! I remember when Nicki first posted about it and it sounds like a good movie. Totally agree with you that Arjun is a good actor.

    Yes, she does look great. And now she even lost her weight. She should come back. And yes, Arjun is underrated.

    Nicki
    It could be a good launchpad for Arjun if it was released earlier. And yeah, soundtrack rocks :)
