Suresh Kumar takes a detailed look at the background score of Jodhaa Akbar.
At many places, Rahman’s background score is overpowering than underscoring. And to my surprise, there are few moments in the movie where Rahman even hits some of his worst notes ever. Rahman has written score to match Ashutosh’s vision and to match the impact that Ashutosh intends to make with his visuals. But as there is a huge disconnect between what Ashutosh intended to convey through his visuals and what the visuals actually convey, Rahman seems to have caught on the wrong thread.
While we’re on the subject, BedTea points to an interesting article about Akbar in the New Yorker by Salman Rushdie. [Hat tip: S Singh]
