Sandesh Shandilya become a known name after his super hit song in K3G. He is very innovative and a talented music composer. The music director shines in his attempt at creating something different and fresh. But others find it tough to overpower the words penned by Javed Akhtar. Agni Varsha carries with itself a moderately good sound, loads of fresh talent and a story with a lot to live up to.It seems it has become a trend to have many singers in one album, but Sandesh is a step ahead in not only having number of singers but also fairly unknown singers. It proves that the talented composer does experiment.

Dole Re sung by KK and Chitra is the catchiest number of Agni Varsha, which is why it is not surprising that the song has been repeated twice. Chitra does a fine job as usual, but the real revelation is KK who has sung a melody. The song is a testimony of KK`s flexibility as a singer. Chitra and Kay Kay sing softly about their skipped heartbeats as the tune makes us skip a beat as well. But the beauty is in patches and portions as the backdrop changes pace from beautiful to loud. The loudness is an excellent composition providing the tune with an era feel.

Alka Yagnik`s Prem Ki Varsha is a bit of a disappointment. Alka Yagnik`s soft, sweet and slow solo struggles to keep itself alive for a normal listener. However, the instrumental tune, which has Alka almost lending support to the instruments, is melodious enough for lovers of situationalmelody. In Chal Re Sajan, Jaspinder Narula comes into her own and sings with remarkable competence, and a stunning vocal presentation. This song carries with it the most period feel with the immense use of the drums and other wedding styled instruments. But it is in itself a little too situational for a listener.

 Shandilya has stuck to the period music rather than falling prey to typical instrumentalism and the overdue of the drums in trying to appeal to the masses. Praiseworthy job nonetheless as many composers would have taken the chance at making the song a mass dealing song.

The most complex number in Agni Varsha is Din Aandiyare. Rendered by a rarely heard ghazal singer Ustaad Sultan Khan who has sung excellently in the ghazal Din Aandiyare. The talent of Shandilya shows another dimension as moves from wedding, romance with a difference to dholak based ghazal. The song pleases, indefinitely. The number has a Hindustani classical feel and Khan sings it with characteristic ease that one expects from him.

Pamela Jain deserves a special mention for her rendering in Aanchal KiChaaiya. She has tried to show her great power as a singer who sings subtly, softly and still holds the listener`s attention.Agni Varsha has a near perfect compilation of beautiful tunes for its film. At the very least, Sandesh Shandilya does fairly good justice to the excellent work of Javed Akhtar.
