Aashiqui 2

Watched aashiqui 2 (first half)… Actually heard the songs properly. Music was too good. Was happy to realize again that Bollywood music does have the ability to touch the soul. I really liked the 2 versions of ‘Sun raha hai’ as both had totally different feels to them, even though the lyrics and compositions were same. The male version had the-rock-star, inspiring feel because of the upbeat distro guitar and at the same time the female one had the vulnerability that’s noticeable not only because of the instruments used in the song, but also due to the way Shreya Ghoshal has sung it. It’s the music like this that reminds us that soul and feelings can be put in songs that’ll make the audience listen to them again and again without making flashy videos to sell them.
