Bappa, in Vishal’s energetic vocals, works perfectly as a masala-pop bhajan. Om Ganapataye namaha is more pop than bhajan, but the stadium’ish grandness of the sound is impressive. The pulsating festive sound carries in Rada too that Vishal, with his full-throated singing, holds confidently. Pee paa ke loses some steam relying on a catchy hook an nothing more. The soundtracks clear highs are the two melodies – Hriday Gattani rocks the accordion-loaded vaudevillian beauty, Udan choo, while Ajay Gogavale is fantastic handling the sweeping and pensive prayer-like Rehmo karam. Banjo sees Vishal-Shekhar produce the third good album in recent times.
