Album Description
Available in:
The music in the film is narrative, in the form of impresarios, depicting emotions of the characters. The songs cover genres like European dance, bhangra, opera, Hindustani classical and dubstep apart from experimental fusion of genres.
Upon release, music critics not only praised the trio–director, composer and lyricist for coming up with classy, catchy and commercial numbers but also censured the soundtrack album, calling the treatment to the album as irreverent and hangover of previous works Highway and Rockstar. The track "Matargashti" was released as the first single prior to the soundtrack album release. The tracks "Matargashti" and "Tum Saath Ho" were the chart toppers on the Indian Music Charts.
The soundtrack was adjudged as one of the best albums of 2015, wherein A. R. Rahman and Alka Yagnik were nominated under Filmfare Award for Best Music Director and Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer, respectively. However, lyricist Irshad Kamil won the Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist.
The sounds in the song "Matargashti" and the instrumental track "Parade De La Bastille" are inspired by European Dance Music genre when the music parade is travelling to Corsica. For the track "Matargashti", Rahman wanted Mohit Chauhan to sing at a higher pitch when compared to his singing for the former's Rockstar. The song "Heer Toh Badi Sad Hain" belongs to the bhangra genre. This track was written in the same melodic meter compared to its original, titled "Heer". The track required least time to record. On opting for Alka Yagnik, Rahman spoke that she had recorded previously the score of The Hundred-Foot Journey and her voice would be suitable for the track "Tum Saath Ho". The song "Chali Kahani" is operatic and the lyrical work depicts mythological character Ravana's cry. It took six months for Rahman to mix the track. The track "Safarnama" is a spiritual journey song with minimal music arrangements. Initially, "Safarnama" was composed using more instruments, however, they were removed. On the same lines, the track "Tu Koi Aur Hai" is also a journey song but incorporates few musical instruments. To add another layer and texture to the song, Rahman made singer Arjun Chandy sing a bit of opera. The song combines various musical elements. A couple of songs in the film are narrative in nature that do not depict the actual moods of the characters, one such track is "Heer Toh Badi Sad Hai".
User Album Review
Critical review board at Behindwoods gave a verdict, "Tamasha is an emotional roller coaster ride from the fantastic combination of A. R. Rahman- Imtiaz Ali yet again! It takes the listener in a pathway to musical bliss!" They awarded the soundtrack album a score of 3.5 out of 5. Joginder Tuteja who penned the critical review for Bollywood Hungama summarized, "The soundtrack of Tamasha delivers more than what on expected from it and is a good mix of classy and massy score. There are a few instantly catchy numbers as well which ensure that commercially too." He assigned a score of 4 out of 5 to the album. However, critic Kasmin Fernandes in her review for The Times of India, called the album 'purely experimental' The soundtrack album was awarded 4 stars (out of 5). In his critical review for The New Indian Express, Vipin Nair awards the album a score of 8.5 out of 10. He called the album a "winner", concluding, "The occasional hiccups aside, that’s three winners in a row for A. R. Rahman – Irshad Kamil – Imtiaz Ali." Critic Aelina Kapoor of Rediff, writes, "It has been a while since AR Rahman had delivered a popular score for a Hindi film. She gave 3.5 stars out of 5 to the album. Suanshu Khurana of The Indian Express gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5. The critic summarised, "Tamasha comes with some exhilarating layers. It falters sometimes, picks itself up to hit some high points, stays in the middle of the pack, and then suddenly wows you with its catchy hooks." For BBC India, critic Rohit Mehrotra writes, "Tamasha is filled with situational songs. The presentation of the album is grand, however, melodies were deprived." However, he assigned three stars out of five to the album.
Contrary to the positive reviews, writing for India West, critical review of R. M. Vijayakar noted, "A.R. Rahman’s scores for Imtiaz Ali (this is the third) show a clear irreverence to conventional meters and melodies — ditto Irshad Kamil’s lyrics. This results in substance here and there, but, in most cases, it is about being stylized, contemporary and thus irreverent, and not necessarily quality- or even appeal-oriented." In his review for The Hindu, critic Sankhayan Ghosh stated: "Tamasha is not as big an album as Rockstar and Highway. Tamasha comes with the gargantuan baggage of the early two films."
