Jawan is about a man who gets driven by his vendetta to fix the misdeeds in society while keeping a promise made by him many years back. He bravely comes up against a monstrous outlaw causing suffering to many. We are not just excited to see Nayanthara on screen with Shahrukh Khan for the first time, but also highly excited for Anirudh Ravichander’s debut as a music composer in Bollywood.
Want to know whether we enjoyed the songs or not? Let’s find out!!
Chaleya
This one is Anirudh Ravichander’s first debut solo album in Bollywood. He is a popular composer, producer\ and singer who has primarily worked in Tamil films. Shahrukh Khan and Nayantara make for a great pair with crackling chemistry. Shahrukh looks like a 25-year-old in this song. Kumaar’s lyrics are relatable. The lyrics have all the romance elements and are perfect for the theme of the song. Arijit Singh and Shilpa Rao’s vocal prowess is unmatched. This song has already been showered with a lot of love. The hook line could have been more catchy and interesting. You enjoy it when you listen to it but after a few times, you might get bored of it.
Rating: 4/5
Not Ramaiyaa Vastavaiyaa
This one is not just a superhit dance number but a dance number that makes thousands of emotions run through the hearts of millions. Anirudh Ravichander’s composition has the true spirit of a typical Bollywood item number. Anirudh Ravichander, Vishal Dadlani, and Shilpa Rao sing the different parts of the song in their unique voices. Shilpa Rao’s voice shines the brightest. The song will be more enjoyable for those who love dance tracks. Kumaar tries his best to be original with the lyrics but somehow, he lacks complete originality. The lyrics have been inspired by various old films and songs, particularly from a film of the same name.
Rating: 4/5
Zinda Banda
This super duper track was filmed over 5 days and the result was full of grandeur and celebration featuring Shahrukh Khan’s unmatched energy and electrifying moves. Shobi’s choreography is simply power-packed. The dance sequences and colorful costumes will blow you away. Anirudh Ravichander’s wonderful experimentation and hours of hard work with the music made him come up with a refreshing composition and soulful singing. Irshad Kamil’s rhyming lyrics sound great. Those who like soft music, might not find the loud and echoing song pleasing.
Rating: 4/5
Faraata
The audio of this song has just been released and the video is not out yet. Like most of the other songs in the album, even this one is full of sassy beats. It has the feel of a folk song and the vibes of a dance number. credits go to Anirudh Ravichander’s creativity as a musician. He has already proven his talent in the south and has come in full form to join Bollywood. Arijit Singh, Jonita Gandhi and Badshah sing this song with full enthusiasm. Kumaar has been quite poetic with the lyrics. Kumaar’s lyrics are usually a hit except for some songs.
Rating: 5/5
Jawan Title Track
Indo-American artist and lyricist Raja Kumari stepped in to add grandiosity to this charming track that doesn’t sound like a typical Bollywood number. His lyrics are the best. The track has charming music that sounds like South East Asian music. This is one of the most appreciated tracks composed and sung by Anirudh Ravichander from the album. It is sweet, it is soft, soothing and feels gentle to the ears. We are still waiting for the video to be released.
Rating: 5/5
Aaraaraari Raaro
The name of this track sounds weird but this soulful song gives goosebumps to the listeners. Deepthi Suresh, a singer from the Tamil and Telugu film industry, sang this melody in her sweet voice. She starts with a childlike voice and then slowly her voice changes. The song glorifies the hero and sounds like a lullaby.
Vivek Velmurugan, known by his popular stage name Vivek, wrote the lyrics for this number. Earlier, people thought that Chaleya was their favorite, but after the release of this one, listeners found this to be the best song in the album.
Rating: 5/5
