London Dreams (2009)

Singers: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Shankar Mahadevan

Album – London Dreams (2009)

Composers: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy

Off the soundtrack of the grandiose film London Dreams, which promises to be a cross between all the music-themed films Bollywood has produced lately with the grandeur of Sanjay Leela Bhansali films, ‘Khwab Jo’ redeems Rahat to a certain extent. A duet with composer/singer Shankar Mahadevan and Rahat, ‘Khwab Jo’ is a soaring combination that builds on the strengths of both singers. It’s a song that one would love to hear being performed live to see how the camaraderie between the two is, but the optimistic lyrics may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Verdict: Imagine yourself in an opera house while listening to this.
