Man Mohana - Jodha Akbar

Man Mohana - Jodha Akbar Lyrics & Chords

Movie: Jodhaa Akbar (2008)
Music: A R Rahman
Singer: Bela Shinde

This is a bhajan based on rag Bhairavi (sindhu Bhairavi) sung soulfully by Bela Shende. Interludes drag a little bit but I like this song and the overall score.

My really humble attempt at this song. The track I used is a vocal cut one, also no mixing done since I feel it tampers the small harkats and the purity of the song.
Please feel free to give good suggestions, or help :-)

Listening best with headphones.

Sudha,

Very beautiful voice you got there. A little off @1.10/11, other than that, very nice vocals

The thing I noticed is that, your initial Man Mohana is panned to the left ear while the rest of the song is center channeled. Unsure if this was intentional.

Your voice has a good tone to it, and is crystal clear. So, guess you just need to get to mix it. And if mixed well, a voice and what it does can only be enhanced, and not mar the clarity and/or beauty of it :-)

My 2c….

Cheers,

Meera,
Thanks for your f/b. High notes (I mean the ones that start with a high) are not my comfort zone – still working on them…. :-(
As for the opening Man mohana, yes, I intentionally left it as left channel and centred the rest of the vocals. I’ll get some ideas on the mixing and rework on the mixing when I get a chance.

Thanks all of your for your comments. Will work on the song to correct those off-areas and also re-mix when I get a chance.

Hey Sudha,

Nicely done… Great effort… Here is what I think…

Observation:
- Didn’t understand the reason behind panning the initial part to left
- Clear and strong voice…
- Some timing issues… A little late… Just by a few mili seconds… Could be adjusted while sequencing though
- Mixing could have been much better and the song would be at a different level with better mixing…
- “Tarasu tumhi ko din rein” at 4:42 was done a little differently I guess and sounded like it went a little off…
- Overall a great effort… Keep it up… Cheers…

I did this song in a couple of gos. I tried to feel the song and add my own touches (within Bhairavi) to the harkats – the caveat was that the back track was a vocal cut track. Hopefully, with more experience, will get better. Thanks Deepak.

Thanks Adithi – I see you have a little one too…. this was one of my earlier posts (rusty voice and all ;-))- usually most of them are done with super-limited time!! But if you get a chance, look at my more recent posts, and maybe you might see some improvement.
