Contrary to his amazing consistency, Rahman had been going through a bit of a low phase for a while (only by his own high standards). Boys marked his return to peak form. The music instantly became a youth anthem. There was a time when one couldn’t switch channels for 5 minutes without coming across ‘Sa Re Ga Me’ or ‘Maaro Maaro’. The album had tremendous energy and vibrancy about it, the main reason for the youth loving it no end.
