Music Director: Shankar Ehsaan Loy, Indrajit Sharma
Lyricist: Niranjan Iyengar

Sufi being the flavor of most Muslim centric movies Dharma Productions My Name is Khan - a movie based on Muslims in the US sticks to it. The lyrics, vocals and the music blend perfectly to give some good Sufi tunes and with Sufi tunes you seldom go wrong with the listener. SEL do throw in some well disguised rock elements throughout, hence making their presence go unnoticed.

With the beginning, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Shankar Mahadevan provide Sajda. The effect is soul touching and heart rendering. It has a different sound to it, with the tablas keeping you hooked throughout the track, each piece is carefully placed. Rahat is the ‘ace’ of the song, which surely deserves a Sajda!

Shankar Mahadevan gets in his groove as a singer with Noor E Khuda and Adnan Sami supports him well. The beginning is slow, with light guitar, but it’s Shankar’s singing which does the talking throughout the song. It’s a song which talks about a soul-searching journey and the music completes half the job. Shreya Ghoshal comes in like the beautiful orange shade late in the sunset!

Shafaqat Amanat Ali has some magic in his voice, the way he said Mitwa a few years back or the way he sings Tere Naina. His smooth voice does wonders for the beautiful words penned by Niranjan Iyengar. The track changes gear mid-way when it slips into qawwali mode which elevates it further. Once on screen, it would get a life of its own!

Rashid Khan and the chorus sing Allah Hi Rahem in true Sufiana style. The music is true Sufi and it almost goes like a prayer. The lyrics are simple, yet profound and the vocals transport you to completely different mental plane. Meditate to this track and you will surely find your inner answers.

Rang De brings rock in this album for the first time, and Shankar Mahadevan and Suraj Jagan are best choices to sing this track. It’s a refreshing song about triumph, peace and joy.

Khan Theme by Strings is an intriguing and a soul searching piece.

Verdict: Kudos to SHANKAR-EHSAAN-LOY for not using any gimmicks to make this soundtrack more saleable. It might not win the rat race, but will surely stand tall in the crowd.IM GOING 4 OUT OF 5...

ENGLAND ESCAPES IN A GRANDSTAND FINALE

Paul Collingwood completed the job he had begun at Cardiff in the opening Test of the Ashes, and the No. 11 Graham Onions repelled a fiery final over from Makhaya Ntini, as England survived a massive collapse against the second new ball to cling onto a draw and move onto the second Test in Durban with the series still level.

In a sensational finale to the match, England had been coasting to the draw at 172 for 3 after tea, following a restorative 145-run stand between Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen that spanned the entire second session, and settled England's nerves after they had been dicily placed at 27 for 3 inside the first hour of an eventful day.

But neither man was able to see out the job. Pietersen produced a total brain-freeze to run himself out for 81 in the second over of the final session, but it was the debutant seamer, Friedel de Wet, who transformed a meandering finale and set South Africa up for a sensational new-ball heist. In seven overs of unplayable intensity, he claimed 3 for 11 including the key scalp of Trott for 69, and after a collapse of 5 for 13 in 11.1 overs, only Collingwood's determination and Onions' unexpectedly watchful technique stood between England and the abyss.
