When
a legendary team decides to make
a movie on one of the biggest visionaries
of India, you expect nothing short
of a thunderbolt. You keep itching
to collect as much information about
the movie as possible; you browse
through the World Wide Web to get
a preview of the music. You keep
playing the trailers over and over
again; you read all the interviews
associated with the movie and keep
counting the days left for the release.
If you are one such fan, let me
warn you, you are just about to
be hit by one hell of an album.
If you are not such a fan, no worries,
you will still be swept by the genius
of Rahman. The Mozart transforms
himself to his initial golden period,
where one doesn’t have to
keep listening to the songs repeatedly
to get impressed. He is straight
at you with vengeance.

Let’s
celebrate the return of the
Kings, Mani and Rahman.
The layman that I am, my favorite
song is Mayya
Mayya,  a
heavy Turkish tune which captures
your imagination right away.
The moment Toller twists and
turns her unique vocal chords
you are left mesmerized and
Rahman’s beats take care
of the rest. Chinmayee and Keerthi
play the perfect foil. Can’t
wait to see Mallika Sherawat
set the screen on fire.

Baazi
laga,
Don’t feel embarrassed
if you feel that Anu Malik has
jumped in to compose a song
for Rahman. This song has an
80’s and early 90’s
style of music which ironically
was taken to cleaners by the
wizard himself. But here he
re-adapts the music again to
give a lively number. Udit is
magical. Bhargavee, Madhushree
and Swetha are exuberant.
A sure hit among the masses!! |

Jaage
Hain,
A strong orchestration
supported by the melodious voice
of Chitra KS makes your heart
start pumping steadier. When
its reaches a peak, the momentum
is reduced for a bit; only for
Rahman to come back and take
it to a higher level. The new
team of Madras Chorale Group
is absolutely brilliant. Rahman’s
violins keep you ‘hair-raised’
for the entire six minute stretch.
Listen again n again n again,
coz it’s a classic. |

Tere
Bina, [Video]
If you think Rahman
is the best music director in
the country, what about his
split personality, the singer
Rahman. The music composer in
him always overshadows the singer.
There are few instances where
his high pitches resemble the
legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Few people would disagree with
me, but I would still continue
to think so. The music and chorus
is top notch. We all know why
Chinmayee is one of the favorite
singers of Rahman.
Enjoy the breeze. |
