Kisna: The Warrior Poet movie Songs / Music :
This film music are highly appreciated. Subhash Ghai joined the music director A. R. Rahman and Ismail Darbar working first time together to create the music album.
Subhash approach in his usual first choice Rahman originally, but had to sign in Ismail Darbar to complete the project as Rahman was busy with the works of The Lord of the Rings.
Subhash explains in his interview says: “Rahman was my original choice because it is an international project and I wanted both the festive and soulful element of Indian music. However, he was busy with the Lord of Rings and excused (himself saying) that he won’t be able to do the whole album. So he has done the theme song and the English song. Then I asked Ismail to do the rest because apart from Rahman he has the knowledge and ability to fuse Western and Indian classical music. The way he has used Ustad Rashid Khan’s voice in “Kahe Ujare Mori Neend” is really delightfull. The music has turned out so well that you can’t distinguish an Ismail song from a Rahman one”.
The music got positive reviews and was immensely appreciated. The lyricist is Javed Akhtar. According to the Indian trade website Box Office India, with around 12,00,000 units sold, this film’s music album was the year’s 12th highest-selling.Title song kisna is Chartbuster in various music channel and popular in masses.
