Background

edit

Amit Trivedi composed the film's soundtrack and score with Amitabh Bhattacharya writing the lyrics. The duo previously collaborated together on Aamir (2008) and Dev.D (2009).[2] Two songs were written by Kashyap.[1][3] Trivedi signed for the film after he liked the script, which Motwane stated "He got exactly what I wanted. I just left him alone after that."[4] The soundtrack blends rock and classical music.[4]

Critical reception

edit

The album received positive responses from critics. Nikhil Taneja of Hindustan Times wrote that "each song in Udaan literally takes flight from a soft, seminal intro, building up to a crescendo of indie, alternative rock", calling the title song "one of the most soul-stirring tracks of this year".[5] Kashmin Fernandes of Mid-Day said that the music and lyrics "run through with the innocent optimism", and called the album an "uplifting gem".[6] Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama wrote, "Udaan is one of those albums that don't necessarily take a huge start at the music stands. However, the theme flavour of the album means that it should make an impact in the long run, especially if the film goes on to find patronage from audience."[7]

Vipin Nair of Music Aloud rated 8.5 out of 10 and summarized "every composition that Amit does seems to be yet another step he takes towards greatness".[8] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog wrote "A knock-out, yet again, from one of India’s most promising composers".[9] Blessy Chettiar of Daily News and Analysis wrote "The film’s soundtrack, with meaningful songs that suit the mood, is moving."[10] Kaveere Bamzai of India Today and Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com also noted and praised Trivedi's score.[11][12] Sankhayan Ghosh of Film Companion ranked Udaan as one amongst the best albums of the decade.[13]
