There is a desire among some to draw a small circle and put ARR firmly inside, but he just shows that he will never stop from trying new things. In Takshak, he goes for a mix of indi-pop, western, and a little bit classical too, all presented in his unique style. The focus here is more on variety than melody, so this album may not suite some people, especially those who are afraid of turning up the volume and going bonkers with the music.

I have always had this complaint that ARR's hit songs are always the melodious kind or the "arabic kadaloram"/"oorvashi" types, nothing in between. He has now settled it with Takshak. There are some songs here with loud music that I am sure will set the teenagers rocking in India.

Takshak will definitely figure in my ARR-best-albums collection, for its variety and also for some really wonderful numbers. Below are my comments on the songs.

"rang de" - ARR and Asha team has given us much better songs, but this is by no means a bad song. An OK song. The beats resemble "vetrikkodi nattu" from Padayappa, and the tune here and there reminds one a little bit of "zahreela pyar" from Daud.

"khamosh raat" - Sung by Roopkumar Rathod, this is a slow number, almost like reading a prose. A very soothing number. The "gamaga sasarisa" humming is very nice. A very good song.

"jaan meri" - This is a fun song with lots of music, the keyboard, the drums, the background chorus, everything in full force. Sounds like a number from a pop album, but with the Rahman stamp. Hema Sardesi has quite a distinct voice and has done a great job, especially in the high pitch humming. Her singing reminded me of Mariah Carey. A good song.

"dheem ta dare" - A Hindustani classical number. I wish Yesudoss could have sung this one, not that Surjo Bhattacharya is bad or anything. A very nice number.

"boondon se baaten" - The sure-fire chartbuster, this album is worth a CD simply for this song. The beats, the guitar and the flute are wonderful. The song emulates "O Maria" from Kadhalar Dhinam just a little bit. Sujata Trivedi has sung this one beautifully. A great song.

"toofan ki raat" - Another pop-style number, this one sounds very much like a song from, say, Alisha Chinai's "Made in India" album. The pop-effect is written all over it. Hema Sardesi has done very well again, singing this in an indi-pop/western style. A good song.

"dholna" - The ARR/Sukhwinder combo strikes it rich once again. It is a great song. The highlights are Sukhwinder's high-spirited singing, the melodious flute, and the majestic drumbeats in the background. This song has a mystical quality, and I cannot get this flute piece out of my mind. Reminds me just a little of the "kariye na" song from Taal. Excellent job!!

"jumblika" - The only bad song of this album. I couldn't like it in Tamil, neither in Hindi. Too bad, Alisha has been wasted like this. I remember reading somewhere that ARR lost a weird-song that he had composed in a computer. Just wonder if he replaced that one with Jumblika. Wish this song had not appeared in this album.

My preference order is as follows:

1. boondon ki baaten

2. dholna

3. khamosh raat

4. dheem ta dare

5. toofan ki raat

6. jaan meri

7. rang de

8. jumblika

Is ARR trying to take a break? I seriously started doubting after listening to this album of his.

'Rang De' is a fast number. Nothing different, the usual ARR stuff, Asha and chorus singing that phrase thousand times all through the song. Intermittently ARR touch is noticeable. Song starts off like 'Vetri kodi kattu' from Padayappa.

'Khamosh Raat'is sung by a newcomer, Roopkumar Rathod (or may be he is new to me). His inexperience shows up all through. The song is just adequate.

'Jaan Meri' - Hema Sardesai - oh, just forget it! (like some of the trashes from 'Love Bird' and 'Daud')

Dheem Ta dare - by another new name Surja Bhattacharya - like a thillaana - a common raag, has base music simulating 'Kathirikka gundu kathirikkaa'. An okay song.

Boondon se baaten - Sujata Trivedi - is a bit different with a 'Zehreela pyar' effect. Sujata Trivedi is good.

Toofan ki raat - again nothing to rave about.

Dholna - by Sukhwindara singh - ARR should seriously consider giving a small vacation to him. It is too monotonous.

Jumbalika - Alisha Chinai and Shankar Mahadevan - a north and western treatment, quite alright.

Quite disappointing, folks!

By 1995,I had read and heard a lot about the great movies Govind Nihalani had made but I had seen none of them.One afternoon while watching a weekly programme India This Week on DD-Metro I saw the preview of his then forthcoming movie-Drohkaal.Alongwith the preview there was series of behind the camera scenes and interviews about the movie which had wooed audience in film-festivals even before its release.From what I saw I realised that Drohkaal was a hard-hitting movie.At that time I was a fan of Ajay Devgan stunts but his carrier was on a low phase.I just dreamt that if ever Govind made a commercial film with Ajay Devgan as its hero what will be like.4 years later when Thakshak was released I smiled pleasantly on seeing that the dream was realised.However the flopping of the film made me feel that it is not good.Then one of my friends called it a damp-squib as he had a big hang-over of Vaastav-on similar lines and released around the same time.In all this I almost missed watching Thakshak.However when one of my other hostel-mate gave me rave review about it and said that it is a must watch for intense movie buffs we brought the VCD to hostel and I still remember that we watched it in one of our seniors computer on the day of Eid and finished it before going to our friends place to celebrate the festival.The movie is an amazing intense tale.

Bombay as we know is in the hands of underworld.One of the biggest ganglords is Joda Bhai.Joda Bhai runs a crime syndicate which has strong connections with police and politicians.His main man is Nahar Singh(Amrish Puri).Ishaan(Ajay Devgan) is Nahar's son who is also working in the syndicate.He alongwith Joda Bhai's grandson Sunny(Rahul Bose) represent the younger strata of crime whereas Nahar and Joda are the experienced administrators.Joda's syndicate include taking plots and construction work.This has made them a major land-shark in the crime city.The rival gang is that of Feroz Bhai whose set-up include giving refuge to a Pakistani agent.Both the gangs have an eye on the plot named-Amritkunj.An elderly man lives with his family there and he is not willing to sell his property.What follows is a chain of events where both the gangs try to capture Amritkunj.

On the other side Ishaan falls in love with Suman(Tabu) who is a budding poet and classical dancer.Suman hates violence and criminals.Ishaan is not able to tell Suman about the reality as he is scared that she might turn away from him.Meanwhile Sunny loses all patience and goes armed with his men-including Ishaan- to Amritkunj and murders the entire family after getting the required signature.However the young girl of the man survives and is able to see the face of Ishaan.She is paralysed and becomes the only witness in the case which is now handled by Inspector Khan(Govind Namdeo).Alongwith all this is the rising madness of Sunny.He goes on a rampage and kills Nahar as he feels that both Nahar and Ishaan have betrayed him.He is eventually killed by Ishaan after Ishaan goes through a fabulously shown confused state of mind.

The story of Thakshak is brilliant.Although the concept of land-shark was shown in Mahesh Bhatt's Kabzaa-1986 as well but in Thakshak it is shown in a really complex way.The police-crime-politics nexus is also shown brilliantly.The movie shows a complexity in almost every character and it is portrayed in a good way.Like all famous Nihalani movies-Ardh Satya,Aakrosh and Drohkaal,Thakshak has a strong undercurrent of violence.But the violence is shown in a chilling way and does not become gory and over-done.The cinematography,screenplay,editing,background score and setting is brilliant.The music by A.R.rahman is excellent although too many songs distueb the narrative at times.Rahman himself considers his score of Thakshak as one of his best.He feels that if the movie had done well the music would have done much better.Still the songs ''Khamosh Raat..'',''Boondon Se Baatein.'' and ''Mujhe Rang de'''' are still very popular on various radio channels.Tabu's classical dance and the brilliant poetry she reads in the title credits give the film an earthy touch to it.Govind Nihalini is brilliant as a director in the movie.He is succesful in conveying the complexity of characters and intensity of plot with ease through his direction.The scene where Rahul Bose shoots an old A.K.Hangal leaves u stunned and so does many sequences.

Ajay Devgan gives a brilliant performance as Ishan.Although the movie did not do wonders for him still he got acclaim for his portrayal of a man caught in a web of crime.It is totally different from his performance in Company-2002.Tabu as Suman is excellent.She gives new dimension to the role and proves that even heroines can make a solid impact in violent male oriented movies.The mature romantic scenes between the couple are very well executed and one cannot believe that this is the same pair which acted in potboilers liek Vjaypath and Haqeeqat.Amrish Puri is alsobrilliant.A regular of Nihalani Puri again proves his mettle as an actor.However the performance which haunts you the most is that of Rahul Bose.This was his debut in commercial Hindi movies and he did a brilliant work in it.The character itself was very different.Nihalani showed the power hungry-angst ridden-impulsive and slightly unbalanced rich youth of the country through Rahul Bose.His penchant for guns,his broken affair and his madness make the character one of the most menacing youth shown in Hindi cinema.Bose gives a terrific performance and his scenes with the deadly Devgan are the best scenes of the movie.A must watch fro crime saga lovers.
