Song review--Sajde

"Sajde" is the quintessential love ditty that has found acceptance by a large section of the die hard romantics who love and patronize these mushy numbers in whichever form they are offered. The slow drawl tune which has it's origin in the folk music of the hills is encapsulated in a beautiful traditional garb of lovely Hindustani musical arrangements like the flute, 'tabla', 'sitar' and the sounds of anklets/ 'payal' and beads. And the best of the best, K.K and Sunidhi have been assigned the task of delivering this romantic ballad and needless to add, they are excellent! However, it's once again the lyricist Irshad Kamil who needs maximum applause for penning easy to hum lyrics which are universally appealing and also convey the feelings of the protagonists very clearly. "Sajde kiye hain lakhon, Lakhon duayein maangi, Paya hai maine phir tujhe." Pritam has always composed some lovely romantic numbers for Akshay and this will go down as one such number, though it will not be path breaking like "Teri Ore".
