Pathaan (soundtrack)

Last updated

"The song is a modern fusion of Qawaali and is a celebration of Pathaan's style and panache. It has been a while since we have seen SRK groove to the music and we are hoping that people will love seeing their favourite superstar shake a leg with an attitude to kill for."

- In an interview with Gulf News , director Siddharth Anand on the track "Jhoome Jo Pathaan". [1]

Soundtrack album

The songs "Besharam Rang" and "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" were conceptualized in the atrium of a building over coffees and casual chats, later, directly recorded in studio. [2] They were recorded during phase one and two of the COVID-19 lockdown in India. [3] Both the songs were attributed to the 'old school' way of compositions. [2]

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama , the Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani stated that "Besharam Rang" was recorded first. [2] The song was composed with dummy lyrics and Shilpa Rao recorded the patch. [2] [4] Lyricist Kumaar worked on the lyricsm, in receipt of her vocals. Dadlani called it an unusual way of working whereas Ravjiani clarified that the song had a different chorus and the hook line written was how the song shaped up. [2] Original structure of composition was: full chorus - intro - cross line - hook line. [2] There was a separate intro written which later landed into the lines "Humein To Loot Liya Milke..." [2] On the music arrangement of "Besharam Rang", the duo mentioned that Warren Mendonsa recorded the guitar riffs in New Zealand. In the event of "Besharam Rang" drawn music comparisons [5] with the song "Ghungroo", they clarified that Besharam Rang was a "sensual feminine track" and they did not work 'closed room' on the track. [2] On coining the title "Besharam Rang", the duo gave credited the lyricist who took the brief of the song and translated it. [6] The brief of the lyrics were about 'a girl who by her sheer lack of innovation was incredibly attractive'. [2] Kumaar did not write the tracks but let his ideas be written by the Dadlani and Ravjiani. [2] [7]

For the creative process of "Jhoome Jo Pathaan", Ravjiani sang a line, "Hum Jaise Jigar Waale Kahaan? Aha!" (Translates to "Where are the hearty ones like us?") a qawwali hook-line, requested by Anand prior composing the track. [3] Emphasizing more on the expression "Aha!" that stood as a repetition. Dadlani and Ravjiani continued jamming with these, fitting the verses by Kumaar. [3] Hence, one can hear the lyrics "Baat Karte Hai Hazaaron, Hazaaron" (sung by Sukriti Kakar) the last word of the line, rhyming or repeating. [3] Anand was present during the musical arrangement of the song. Ravjiani was quoted saying, “it is like a modern qawwali kind of zone where there are repeat of lines". [8] To avoid generic vocal tone, Dadlani did not record the track rather chose Arijit Singh. [3] The track's musical drop was hardly melody, the groove was composed as the drop with bassline and dholak pattern. [3] The bounce of the groove was recorded as a dance number. Meghdeep Bose played the Arabic, acoustic and electric guitars on the track. [3]

Original score

In an interview with B.H. Harsh from Film Companion , Jim's Theme (track 4) was recorded with an 'uncomfortable' percussion sound and reversed for creating an 'untangling effect'. For Pathaan's Theme (track 3), Ankit Balhara created the sound scheme to evoke patriotism as well as a 'heroic flair'. They kept the female vocals (recorded locally) limited, to bring an effect of 'swag' with Khan's introductory scene in the film. Cassandra Cavalli provides the vocals for the theatrical version of Pathaan's Theme. Sanchit Balhara said they drew inspiration from John William's original score for Jurassic Park, apart from the scores by James Horner and Thomas Newman. They retained the elements of Indian classical music while fusing and designing the score for Pathaan. [9]

Critical response

Critics based out of Bollywood Hungama called the music in the film of 'a chartbuster variety'. They added that "Besharam Rang" was already a rage and comes into the film at an important juncture. [10] The same goes for "Jhoome Jo Pathaan". They praised the called the background score as 'memorable', especially the theme played during scenes featuring Abraham. [10] Namrata Joshi who reviewed "Besharam Rang" for Cinema Express , praised Shilpa Rao's vocals and compared the inclusion of Spanish vocals with the track "Nashe Si Chadh Gayi" from 2016 Yash Raj film Befikre . [11] Owen Glieberman of Variety opined "Pathaan isn’t a musical, the music that plays during the action sequences is an overwhelming constant — that EDM Bollywood throb, revving even routine battles to a maximum rush." [12] In her review for The Indian Express , Shubhra Gupta commented, "There really is nothing in it that we haven’t seen before (YRF songs-on-beaches should rightfully be a separate Bollywood sub-genre)". [13] Farzana Patowri of Man's World Magazine summed up: "While "Jhoome Jo Pathaan is an upbeat track, not many are happy with the moves of Padukone and SRK. As soon as the song was released, people started commenting on how they felt about the song. And well, the reactions have been far from good." [14] Tiasa Bhowal of India Today stated: "The song exudes major beach vibes and this one, just like Besharam Rang, is a party number as well. The song is sure to make it to every New Year’s party this year." [15] Renuka Vyawahare of The Times of India noted: "While the background score doesn’t quite feel in sync with the scenarios, the film’s music by Vishal & Shekhar manages to reflect the heroism and bravado on display." [16] Abhimanyu Mathur for DNA India said: "The background music, particularly the theme used for John Abraham, will evoke some whistles in the theatre." [17] Ritika Handoo in her review for Zee News wrote: "Music needs applause and yes here I mean 'Besharam Rang' and 'Jhoome Jo Pathaan' which don't break the rhythm but rather add to it" [18] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll Magazine said "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" that comes towards the end was worth the wait. [19]

English Jagran called the song "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" a mixed bag: a few praises and criticized it as a "stereotypical movie-making culture". [20] Aavish Khan of Asian Sunday Magazine was quoted saying: "While one set the expectations high post "Besharam Rang", the movie's first song, Jhoome Jo Pathaan fails to reach the levels set. The music in the song appears lacklustre while the beats remain energetic. The ‘drop’ in the song, where the song switches to main verse, fails to create the intended impact." [21]

Commercial performance

As per Box Office India - Worldwide report of December 2022, within weeks of release, both the tracks trended number one and two on YouTube. [22] The music of the film increased the expectations of the audience and controversies resulted increased number of reservations made in advance that Pathaan lodged. [23] As per Mid-Day , Indian music critics opined that the songs could not have become even moderately popular if released only as audio tracks. The songs, with their visuals, did wonders, acknowledging film's music more on choreography than the melody. [24]

"Besharam Rang" was the only Bollywood track of 2022 to gather fastest 100 million views on YouTube. [25] The track was a subject of controversy across India, where the right-wing Hindutva groups alleged it to promote obscenity and disrespects to the saffron color. [26] Padukone featured in a saffron bikini in the song. [27] Lyricist Manoj Muntashir, in an interview with Dainik Bhaskar, about Besharam Rang and the saffron color, said, "[...] the music team or Shah Rukh sir could have spotted the error, they would have certainly taken some action." [28] Singer Sona Mohapatra expressed displeasure over the track calling it mediocre. [29] Shilpa Rao, the singer of the track, stated that it was Padukone and Khan's 'chemistry' in the song and that makes it popular. She added that Padukone was 'celebrating herself' in the song – ‘the good, the bad and flawless’ which made her feel 'empowered to sing it'." [30] Rao clarified that the track reached at a stage, where audience picked it up for popularity, followed by promotion, reach, and Instagram reels. [30] She felt the meaning of the song was to 'express yourself without apologies' and to 'love yourself the way you are' and hence, the audience was expressing themselves and thus the popularity. [30] Singer Baba Sehgal recorded a rap cover version of the song. [31] Actress Nia Sharma released a cover video on the track. [32] Actor Mukesh Khanna, called out the Censor Board of Film Certification for clearing "Besharam Rang" without any cuts. [33] He said, "The song can mess up the minds of the youth. You dared to bring people in limited clothing, next you will bring them without clothes." [33]

Upon its release, "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" video on YouTube crossed 5.1 million views and 738K in four hours of release. [34] Also, the song received 1 million views in less than 30 minutes after it was released. [35] The song has received more than 18 million views in the 20 hours after its release. [35] Multiple Indian newspapers [36] [37] and Business Today reported audience to be dancing to the tunes of "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" in front of the theatre screens. [38] [39] When Vishal-Shekhar composed "Jhoome Jo Pathaan", they were confident that the audience would dance to the tunes, especially, reports of audience dancing close to the theatres of the screen. [40] Yashraj Mukhate recreated "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" song fusing the word "Zinda Hai", a dialogue delivered by Khan. [41]
