Mozart of Madras's 90s chartbuster Humma Humma from Bombay has been remastered and it is done in a effortless style. Instead of additional loops and hard hitting beats, he chooses the mellowed down beats which give an air of a chillout lounge song with the beauty of the original composition.

This version would sure find a great appeal for the younger lot who missed the initial era of A.R.Rahman!

The high voltage number Mental Manadhil which rocked the entire South India in the year 2015 now arrives in the magical lyrics of Gulzar. The combination of A.R.Rahman and Gulzar never disappointed and this song also follows the same. Rahman’s swift vocals are like a lifeline for this number and the trance beats get an additional punch as well. The song again scores well and doesn’t disappoint the lovers of the original composition!

A beautiful number with the touch of Sufism arrives next with Arijith Singh’s magical vocals and Gulzar’s poetic vocals. The electric guitar and amazing usage of flute is another asset. A.R.Rahman delivers par excellence and gets to his melodious best for this feel good number.

The Hip-hop marvel scores again with the lyrics department while the original composition is retained with additional Rap portions.

The haunting composition in Raag Darbaari Kaanada gets the Hindustani beauty with magical lyrics by Gulzar once again. Jonita Gandhi performs par excellence and brings a new dimension to this amazing number. Nakash Aziz joins the royal composition in his own persona and vigor.

Maula Wa Salim

The delicate and innocent sufi prayer is retained as is from the original version and for good reasons. The song would sure strike a devotional chord among majority of the listeners.

Sunn Bhavra 

Singers: Shashaa Tirupati

The wonderful singer Shashaa delivers a Hindustani number in Raag Behag with her own perception and brilliance. Rahman once again proves that he is a master of Hindustani classical numbers as well with this sweet number. The strong tabla base and mild strings are wonderfully in communion which gives a divine feel.  This song gives the album a marvelous Hindustani flavor which is the need of the hour!
