Zero (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2018 film of the same name directed by Aanand L. Rai starring Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif. The album featured seven songs, with four of them composed by Ajay–Atul and three songs by Tanishk Bagchi, who worked as a guest composer. Irshad Kamil and Kumaar were the lyricists. The album was released by T-Series on 21 December 2018.

Background and release

[edit]

Ajay–Atul composed the film score and soundtrack for Zero in his maiden collaboration with Khan and Rai, who had tuned four songs for the film.[1] Tanishk Bagchi later joined the film as a guest composer, providing three more songs, totaling up to seven songs in the album.[2][3] Bagchi recreated Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's qawwali number "Main Roz Roz Tanha Hua" with additional lyrics written by Irshad Kamil.[2]

The first song from the album, "Mere Naam Tu" was released as a single on 23 November 2018.[4] It was sung by Abhay Jodhpurkar in his Bollywood debut.[5] The song is an orchestral ballad picturized on Bauua (Shah Rukh) expressing her love for Aafia (Sharma).[6] Jodhpurkar was offered by the duo after a YouTube video of him performing one of their compositions, "Jiv Rangala" from Jogwa (2009) as a part of a medley in a reality television singing-competition show impressed them. They initially wanted him to sing "Sapna Jahan" from Brothers (2015), which he unable to do so as he was not in Mumbai during that time. Jodhpurkar recorded the song in C-sharp major that had him experiment with the vocals.[7] The piano pieces were played and arranged by Ustad K. Shayan-Hussaini, with the flute by Varad Kathapurkar and the Nylon guitar by Pawan Rasayli.[8][9]

The second song "Issaqbaazi" was released on 4 December 2018;[10][11] a fast-paced, rustic dance number picturized on a jubilant Bauua dancing with Salman Khan after being kissed by Babita Kumari (Kaif), it was sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Divya Kumar.[12] The third song "Hushn Parcham" was released on 12 December 2018.[13] A dance number picturized on Babita, the song was sung by Bhoomi Trivedi and Raja Kumari.[14] On 20 December 2018, a fourth song was released, titled "Heer Badnaam."[15] Revealing the stardom and personal issues of Babita Kumari, and depicting Bauua as her long-standing fan, the song is reminiscent of the Punjabi song "Daru Badnaam" by Kamal Kahlon and Param Singh; it is composed by Tanishk Bagchi, with lyrics written by Kumaar, and sung by Romy.[16]

The remaining songs "Ann Bann", "Tanha Hua" and "Duma Dam Mast Kalandar" was released with the album on the same date as the film, 21 December 2018 by the T-Series label.[17]

Reception

[edit]

Narendra Kusnur of The Hindu wrote "like many other later SRK films like Ra.One, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Chennai Express and Dilwale, the music is a mix of occasional brilliance and well-picturised mediocrity."[18] Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama wrote "Zero is a complete album and is one of the best that 2018 had to offer."[19] DJ Munks of BizAsia Live wrote "Overall this album is a wholesome one as expected from a King Khan film but none of the songs are capable of becoming huge like some of his previous superhits."[20] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in called it as a "swooning" score, while Anupama Chopra of Film Companion praised the song "Mere Naam Tu".[21][22]
