On The Background Score Of TZP

Fascinating run through the background score of Taare Zameen Par at Background Score.

Though there are more distinct theme pieces, I now understand why Aamir released only the Ishaan’s theme along with the songs, because Ishaan’s theme forms almost 70% of the background score of the movie. Other identifiable themes are Mother’s theme, Nikumbh’s theme and Harmonica theme and also for many of the scenes Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have conveniently and safely used the melodies of the songs. The melody of the title track is used umpteen times in the latter half of the movie. The soothing flute prelude of ‘Kholo Kholo’ becomes an inspiring score for Ishaan making boat plane with bits and pieces of materials he had in his collection.
