Vijay Malla at a concert

Reviews

Vijay Malla achieves a rare feat with this cassette. He rises above mediocrity, the bane of ghazal-singing today. The effortlessness, the tuneful variations, the anguish in his voice, make this cassette an experience. One can drink down his ghazals like 'jaam'. The lyrics live up to musicand Vijay Malla. The ghazals 'Khawab bankar jo teri ankh se' and 'Usne meri wafa ka' will surely go down in public memory. Vijay Malla's 'Justaju', this 'search' promises to be a rewarding one, for both the singer and his listeners.

... Music India presents another singer who has already started making waves in the music world with his fresh face and voice. Malla's debut attempt is Justaju. Most of the music has been produced by Malla himself and the lyrics are by Shewan Bijnori, Tabish Romani and Sabir Jalalabadi. Being a ghazal singer one would expect Malla to sound like his predecessors but that is not so. Malla's talent lies in his ability to reach the peaks of his notes, whether high pitched or low base. His album has some very catchy numbers like Chahat Ki Angdai mein, Kitne Hasin Shyam Hai, Titiliyan Udne Lagin and more....
