A.R.Rahman, when that name comes attached with the music album, the expectations are lot more higher than other music directors. The main reason for this is, the person has many things in his magical bag and tries different things all the time…and in this process you cannot expect everything to be a major hit but yes…that’s how you learn…

In Yuva he tried to mix techno with fresh music and the outcome was very good, very fresh music (of course there are several people who did not like it) then the music of Mangal Pandey released, which was low down for everyone including me; the only good track was Title song..Mangal Mangal…and now he is back again with Rang De Basanti

Now at this time also, like always, people very eagerly waiting for the music…the music in promo was really impressive, fresh music and in fact the music also proves to be same, fresh with lot of new experiment with the music…

But Mr. Rahman forgot that people do not like experiments much…but I personally liked the music..Yeah..I won’t call it as great music but it is decent enough….

He has tried lot of variations in music, mixed Arabic stuff (Khalbali) ,traditional punjabi music (Ik Onkar) to Dance / rocking (NOT rock) music mixed with hindi words (Paathshala)…

Let me go one by one with all the tracks…

Track Listing:

1. Ik Onkar
2. Paathshala
3. Khalbali
4. Paathshala - Be A Rebel
5. Lalkaar
6. Rang De Basanti
7. Tu Bin Bataye
8. Khoon Chala
9. Luka Chuppi
10. Roobaroo

First track Ik Onkar, I won’t call it as a song but it is a music clip with verses from a Sikh prayer, the Mool Mantar (Thanks to Raagish for correcting me) traditional punjabi lyrics…2nd one Paathshala, as mentioned earlier this is a dance track which can be played loud in the cars, discos and is kinda fresh and happening track…3rd one Khalbali, this one is a nice song, you will like this if you love stuff in Buddha Bar…Arabic stuff but very well mixed with hindi lyrics….4th one Paathshala - Be A Rebel, this one can be called as english version of Paathshala, not bad…5th one Lalkaar, this one is kind of motivational song sung by Amir Khan…not much to comment on it since there is not much music in it…6th one, Rang De Basanti, classy…one of the best tracks in the album….lot of Bhangra with touch of Dance music in it…damn good lyrics and nice music….7th one Tu Bin Bataye, nice song..slow song but very well sung and good lyrics…8th one Khoon Chala, slow track with good lyrics but it is not the track which you everyone would like to listen to it…but this one seems to be made for some situation in the movie..9th one Luka Chuppi, starts with track of 70s and great guitar, finally you hear the voice which all music lovers wait for…Lata Mangeshkar…and whatever she sings has to be good….and this one too is a good song…slow track with great music and lyrics…but yeah..not for normal people…music lovers will love it…..now the last one, 10th song Roobaroo, this one is a different track and nice music…but again I do not think so everyone would like to listen to it….

So overall the album might not do good for the masses but yes if you are music lover like me…then you will like it for sure :) and one more thing, people might love the music once they see the movie….

  11. I listened to all the tracks and I loved Khoon Chala the best. Khalbali is really different kind of music.After all A.R. Rehman needs to be different :wink:. I loved it too.

  13. well, I’d say this for A.R.Rahman, his music is a bit extreme, like metal & blues etc. Either you love it or you hate it, there are no middle grounds!! ;)

  19. I don’t know about you all , but have seen this recent trend among my friends. They like songs only after they see videos. Untill then they will bitch about the same song … but when videos are out they will loved it.

    A new trend really. I hadn’t seen this say a year back. They even prefer to buy music cds only after seeing videos. As for me if I really love the album I don’t care about video.

  23. I bought this album and simply loved it. I think it is a real calssic ina long long time. suh variation in the songs. Khoon chala is haunting - it gives the listener gose pipmles. khalabli though different grows on you, the klove song is v nice too and that lukka chuppi brings trears to my eyes. I would urger you to buy this album.It is fresh music and yes with some fanatsic lyrics and great singing.

  31. King is back awesome music without Naveen on flute.. Rehman is as ever modest and leaves the success to audience and God.. I am glad he is making India proud with his quality music.
    Unlike other music directors he seldom boasts and speaks to the world and his fans through Music.
    All the very best for Rang de.

    Lukka Chuppi was awesome… followed by Rubarooooo .. paathshala… khoon chala… not to forget the great orchestraisation in Tun Bin bataye…. Khalbali is awesome after listening it to 5 times… it gets hooked… Rang de basanti is an instant hit…

    In short… a great album… will be noticed by Masses…

    Good work done by Rahman…. as usual!

  55. I agee Deep . These songs sound more situational. Except “Rang De Basanthi ” the title track and “Lukachuppy” by the legendary Latha Mangeshkar , all other songs are heavy with techo beats. I am a die-hard fan of ARR so i would rate it” Good ” rather than “exceptional”.

  59. Review is not much scoring , because i think now ARR is in full mood to appeal mass in this version.Pathsala is going high score without any visual appearence. After seeing videos , rang de is going tremendeously getting high scores. Khalabli is a kind different and want some listining skills. Obeously lata’s fans want to listion her as usual . Tu bin bataye, a real touching melody and surely liked by aRR’s fans with fresh tune.Ruburu and other are not being missed by ARR’s fans , bcz rahaman want ot listion them seriously . great rehaman , great. i love you.I bought CD and , now i am listioning , 5 times a day at home and in my pc at office from raaga.

  61. Exellent music! fresh tunes !!
    I loved the heavy influence of guitar in the songs.
    It was worth spending for this album as is the case with most arr albums.
    Its a definite Chartburster album.
    Great work arr!!!!

    19-Dec-2005 at 10:43 pm
  65. i liked few songs but luka chuppi has become my favourite since the album came out. nicely sung by lata and rehman. the guitar takes u on smooth ride. would be something to watch wahida rehman and amir perform this one on screen.

  67. Guys..Each one can give reviews of what they think the music is..
    But at the end of it..i can proudly say that ARR has again come out with music which is technically perfect,new and fresh and something which v get to hear only thru him..
    The samples he uses on those amazing time signature is every other musician’s dream : ))

  69. hi all ,
    I heard each songs around 20 times and found the most amaging one KHUN CHALA, a real variations of voice ( up and down) with mind hunting beats, no one except ARR could do that. This is a slow and energiging song , and surely if future it will become inspiratinal for all , who will perform this song in different programmes like Indial idol, etc.Every music lover who will listion this one , surely appriceate the kind of music and lyrics. Very tough song to sing .. ARR and the singer did a lot of efforts for that…

  71. Outstanding compilation. “Luka Chuppi” is my favorite and indeed Lata sounds awesome and ofcourse there’s Rehman who is simply nostalgic, especially in the classical piece towards the end of the song…I wonder why Lata didn’t keep up with him throughout the classical piece!! I’d say that is the SONG OF THE YEAR for me.

  72. Piscean says
    23-Dec-2005 at 2:40 pm
  73. Hi folks,

    Rang de basanti is a great ablum indeed… nice kool songs ..particularly Roobaroo and patashala. Even title song sounds good… Yes rehman is back to his best with this album.

  75. But… I, think Anu Malik had done quiet an efficient job in Aks as compared to RDB ….Rahman could’ve done much more

  76. XYZ says
    25-Dec-2005 at 2:52 am
  77. RDB music seems as if, we are listening some Paki Pop songs …or a Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s romantic number (Tu Bin Bataye)

  78. XYZ says

  85. RANG DE BASANTI: this is a wonderful song. I studied a LOT of music directors, and what music they’ve given, whats their best quality, etc etc… but STILL, AR Rehman stands at the top, FOREVER! yaar kya gaana tha woh! daler mehendi has well proved that he is capable of creating a colorful platform once again! i think he went waaay down with that wierd “slow” song he had sung… i dont really know the name. singing was, no doubt, very, “in the rag and sur”, but… i dont know! it just doesnt suit him. not after his earth shaking singles like tunak tunak tun… and i never really liked him to begin with, so…the battles almost won!!!

  87. ppl say Rahman’s music takes time to grow , but why everytime, Taal music didn’t take time to grow, it was an instant hit, same as Dil Se.. it was a hit since it’s very first day..Rangeela, Bombay, Muqabla etc etc were record breaking albums….why VishwaVidhaata, Thakshak, Hindustani, One2ka 4, etc didn’t make an impact …why his music takes time to grow these days only !! i don’t understand the logic….the person whose music used to sell like a hot cakes and used to be an instant hit… now why a listener has to sit for hours to get his music penetrated…looking forward to ure replies

    This has to be the soundtrack of the year 2005 and will be top of 2006.
    A.R.Rahman the musical genius is back with sensational music. Hats off to Rahman!!!

    Very good dance numbers and also melo tracks!

    Rahman rocks. Everyone buy the album u will enjoy it.

  90. Tanuj says
    26-Dec-2005 at 2:24 pm
  91. rahman’s every album takes some time to grow , because every new tune want repeat listining , as you go forward with other music director , they seems to repeat some past listion tunes , or some folk tunes which digest our mind quickely, can you want to listion DIL DING DONG DING BOLE, NOW..iF YOU GO FOR CHOTI SI AASHA, ONE SURELY WANT TO REPEAT THIS . fOR VISWA VIDHATA AND OTHER , I WOULD LIKE TO APPRICIATE HERE , THESE SONGS ARE NOT MUCH IMPRESSIVE , BCZ Director also play an important role to take out best from music director. Rahaman has some language problem itself towards hindi. so the mixing of tunes with lyrics play also important here. But if you even listion , viswavidhata , and other songs , you can find only the repetetion of tunes of rahman’s itself , not from other music directors music. So rahaman is on top, bcz he want to give us new. and there want some experiment for that also,Some producer also want rahman’s name only for their movies and so they take rahaman’s pre prepared tunes which do not have much significance with the situations of film.

  93. But… I, think Anu Malik had done quiet an efficient job in Aks as compared to RDB ….Rahman could’ve done much more

    To be frank, Anu Malik is more of copying the songs….his most of the hits are taken from various songs…the best examples would be the recent hit songs of Murder, Zeher or say Kalyug (Aadat)…

    The only difference now I see is, he gives credit to the original artists but earlier he simply used to rip the stuff..and I think on his some new movie he has ripped Raghav’s songs too….

    So compared to AR Rahman…Anu Malik won’t be able to stand because the music he makes isn’t original and new everytime…

    ppl say Rahman’s music takes time to grow , but why everytime, Taal music didn’t take time to grow, it was an instant hit, same as Dil Se.. it was a hit since it’s very first day..Rangeela, Bombay, Muqabla etc etc were record breaking albums….why VishwaVidhaata, Thakshak, Hindustani, One2ka 4, etc didn’t make an impact …why his music takes time to grow these days only !! i don’t understand the logic….the person whose music used to sell like a hot cakes and used to be an instant hit… now why a listener has to sit for hours to get his music penetrated…looking forward to ure replies

    Now this is a very interesting question…
    Actually it’s like..when a Music director makes music he keeps some kind of audience in the mind..so that part of audience likes the music instantly but the rest of the people..it takes time for them…

    Take example of this OST itself…I personally liked the music very much when I heard it for the firs time but there are many people who need visually appealing videos too…and after watching video they buy the CD or listen to the same song again…so this process takes time..

    One more example would be OST of Bluff Master…very well made OST with superb mixes but it is not meant for everyone…the mixes are the ones which everyone doesn’t love..say they song called Buro Buro…I really liked it when I listen to it for the first time but when I gave the same song to my friend..she didnt like it…but when she watched the movie and watched the song..she suddenly started liking it..

    So in many songs the videos also makes very important impact on the mind of people…

    Now when you asked why VishwaVidhaata, Thakshak, Hindustani, One2ka 4 music didnt do well…actually every music director goes through the process of hits and flops coz they have to try out new things…so in that AR Rahman tried to give touch of other music directors by using typical Indian stuff so that was not AR Rahman and it did not do well…but now he is trying new stuff and which is working for him and people are also liking it….

  99. i totally agree with U …that every MD or show biz person has to go through the rough phase but at the same time i also disagree with u like u said “AR Rahman tried to give touch of other music directors by using typical Indian stuff so that was not AR Rahman and it did not do well…” it is totally wrong if u listen the songs of Hindustani or Vishwavidhaata or thakshak, Lakeer,Kabhi Na kabhi, Mr.Romeo etc etc music …in the first hearing u can figure it out that it is no one else but Rahman becuz of the musical arrangements he had given in those albums so there was his stamp ….but where as the rough phase is concerned Zubaida, One 2 ka 4, Lagaan, Nayak all released in the same year but only Lagaan did fare well while the others bombed ..(In Lagaan too he has made the excessive usage of all Indian stuff but it became hit !)so there must be something missing in the music of all those films ….now the music scenario has been changed …i think people want more and more of Techo Boom…which we are not getting from Rehman these days and thats why Vishal-Shekher, Pritam, Himesh Reshammiya , Shanker-Ehsan-Loy, Salim Sulaiman are ruling the roost …cuz they are catering to the masses most of them are catering to both youth as well as the matured ones at the same time …well don’t think that I’m an abuse to Rahman or I’m criticizing Rahman’s music intentionally…what I’m talking about are the facts only which you can not deny….cuz people want longterm music like Roja, Rangeela,Taal , Dilse people still like to hum the tunes of all these albums they don’t want to spend on Doli Saja ke Rakhna and saatihya (Hit but not memorable) kinda stuff…

    and a lot of appriciations he already given for rahaman, in his various interviews.. Rahman also fan of such mind blowing short tunes like Nadeem , he accepted , his music is not for just dance and auto / buses , he is the md of masss not for … who are doing a lot labour in day time and want some easy justified tunes..

    Rahman is great .. hw is, no doubt..

  119. Any rikshaw or other labourious ( physical labour) absolutely do not want to listion arr, some exceptions always be their, but as i think majority, but please go for mind labours ( like softwares , BPO, KPO, professors, doctores) every body, here also may be some exceptions..want to listion ARR in his / her home with original CD, not with Pyrated MP3 , if any doubt , just go through google and after 2 month find the sale of original CD , or purchase , once get his ans..

  121. After reading all the 60 messages i got the point, that are reviews are from the great fans of Rehman. I agree to few and will like to add, like some new fashion in the market, it took time to be popular among the masses. It will be accepted by the fashion geeks but at the same time, masses found it really odd. Same is the case with Rehman’s music. We want him to do what he did in his very best like in Taal, Bombey etc. But how can one say that if an album is not a commercial success its quality is not as good as the one which sells more. Take example for Oscars, that goes to quality not what business has been generated by this movie. So, i think Rang De Bansanty is as good as any other flick of Rehman.
    Just to add, I did not understand any other language but Urdu, but love few Tamil tunes of Rehman, and that leads me where, one can almost sence it is not what masses like but quality does matters.
    As far as comparison is concern with other directors I think, there is ot point in comparing a great with some one. Greats have there own class and mind it, if any one of you hears the past days Greats like SD, one can feel this too.
    Back to Rang De Basanty, it is as fresh as morning breaze and as pure as the newly inborn. Strating with Tu Bin Bataye, I wonders how Rehman avoid his usual temtaion of adding few tricks here and then in Khoon chala, Rubaroo and specialy Luka Chuppi are the best. Few people might disagrees with me about the fact on Khalbali and the main track but I don’t really like both track as they are very contemprary ones unlike the four I mentioned.

    In the end, i will recommend you to listen to Water’s sound track from Rehman. One can feel the difference between a great and ….

  123. Absolutely bang on that its not masses kinda music,bought the cd and thoroughly satisfied !!!!!!
    Khoon Chala is gr8,the vocalist is Mohit Chauhan of Silk Route fame !!
    Luka Chuppi is one of the sweetest songs ,with Lataji giving a beautiful touch to it !!
    Roobaroo is awesooomely cool,in fact another beauty is Ik Onkar..man it grows on u !!
    Paathshaala is nice and finally the title track is catchy,actually liked Daler’s voice in it !!
    Cool music,if u want smthin refreshingly different,GO FOR IT !! and,plss buy the cd and dont download !! ITS WORTH ITS PRICE IN GOLD….atleast for me !!

  127. Great , with the helping hand of sweet lyrics ( prasoon joshi), rahaman did great. The enerzizing voice of daler with the really touchable voice of a mother,…. great poetic expression. Best of luck for movi, may be movi should bring same freshness and excitation like , SARFARoshi ki tammanaa ab hamre dil mai hai , dekhna hai jor kitna bajue katil mai hai,( amir khan’s voice , )

    great , rahman and prasoon ……

    gud work deep

  133. Hi Jack,
    Well the world is more than 66 people :) Basically I said becasue if you ask any guy on the road he will say “what kind of music is it” but if play “Kajra re” song then he wil start singing along with you…so by masses i meant the guys who do not think much about music and they just need dance numbers…

    I am a great fan of A R Rahman and I just love the music along with you guys but the people outside this computer…i.e. local public might not like the album that much…

    Deep

  135. The last rahman album i heard was Mangal pandey.My expectations were damn bloody high.but then except for the title song(mangal mangal) and tumhari adaoon…all were simply boring.but then with RDB in was extremely shokd.i mean the entire album is a block buster.its simply wonderfull.khalbali hain khalbali..was fantastic.luka chuppi is one of my most favourrate melodies rite now..rahman is simply great…wishing him all the best for sivaji and godfather.hope rdb breaks all time music records 1nce again.Go rahman go..

    11-Jan-2006 at 3:02 pm
  143. AR Rehman Bangs Man….
    Apni Toh Paathshala & Roobaroo Roshani really rocks.
    Maybe this might be more beatuiful had Rehman himself sang it. (Remember Vande Mataraam, Dil Se Re, O Hum Dum Suniyo Re & Fanaa)
    tell u 1 more thing , the album is for classes & not for the typical masses. These days, Music is marketed very vigrously. I just laugh when some news channels, declare “Kajra Re” as the hittest song of the decade. Well, when we have this kind of mentality, I don’t wonder if people don’t appreciate RDB.

  144. JITHIN says
    14-Jan-2006 at 10:58 am
  145. HEYA GUYS..I’M GLAD TO FIND A LOTTA RAHMAN FANS IN THIS SITE.SALY MOST OF YOU ARE SPEAKING ONLY OF HIS HINDI ALBUMS.JUS CHEK OT HIS NEW TAMIL FILM..”BEST FRIED”..ITS SBPERB…SADLY HE WONT BE CONVERTING IT TO HINDI…THERE ARE OTHER LOTTA HITS IN TAMIL….GOTTA CHEK IT OUT

  146. Urchin says
    17-Jan-2006 at 4:58 pm
  147. Fully agrees with Jithin. I can’t understand tamil but few songs are just too much. They are really good.

    But, right now i am looking for one of his less known albums i.e. Fire. I am unable to locate in my local market. Does anyone of you can tell me if i can stream it or download that?

    Waiting for the reply.

    18-Jan-2006 at 1:25 pm
  149. I would be a jerk to say RDB’s music album sucks……….
    So I will not be a jerk cos RDB rocks.
    This is the first time that I have heard an album that has
    so much variety in its songs.There is a bhajan to start with,
    followed by Bhangda,Arabic, Indian Classical,Rock,Melody
    and Indie-pop all incorporated into one album.
    This album kinda gives u a flavour of world music,
    ARR strikes another homerun with this album

  150. cold1 says
    18-Jan-2006 at 1:36 pm

    download, this album is worth its price

  155. i’ve searchd a lot for “water”.we don get it jus like that here and there…where to we get a review on ..”water”….i”ve heard it rocks…kudos to rahman sir.

  156. Urchin says
    23-Jan-2006 at 3:01 pm
  157. I told Deep to listent the album and write some comments what he thinks about the album but still nothing…

    Now, for right now let me do this.

    There are number of instrumetals and all conveys the human pain, hope and joy in really good manner. “Ladoo Dreams” (Excellent Shehnai in Khamaj Thhat shows joy one (to be get married ones) can feel in every note of it) , “Carriage”, “Train”, “Funeral”, “Across the river” and others reviels the pain, helplessness and a lots of hope.

    “Fatty” comes out like the sun and shatters the nights away.

    “Kallu” and “Chuhiya Express” are the ones, they starts of with a desire and ends up on jouyes node.

    “House of widows”, you must check this. A track full of depth and lots of sayings.

    Till now one can feel the difference of what is commercial and what should be called a soulfull different music.

    Now, the songs, again if you are looking for some masalla or regular number this is not for you.

    Frist “Chanan”, my personal favourite. An extreamly hatke sort of track. One must notice the use of Sexophone with very few other instruments. Beautiful rendering by Sukhwinder and Sadhna.

    Then comes the first love song of the album, “Naina Neer”. Smoooth, Classssy. I dont anything else.

    First joyous track, don’t know much about what is meant by “Sham Rang” but again an extreamly differnet and will grow on you as soon as you listen.

    In the end, this albums needs a proper listening. Not for those who likes to dance to the tunes of Rehman. Album won’t take time to grow but at the same time very different indeed.

    Classical is the base of this album.

    Good work done by Rehman.

    If any one wants the linke, check out the replies, you will find that… :D

  165. i dont shy away frm saying i’m a great fan of rehman,i’ve got all the music collection this living legend has ever made,i read all the voices and opinios given above,itz really awesome to know there are so many ARR fans around,i really liked the view that RDB is not for masses,but for classes….presently no music director in India can match the genius and class of rehman,i really mean it…i have carefully studied and listened to music made by all other music director,but i culdn’t find anybody matching rehman’s class,elegance,versatility,flexibility,freshness in music,and abt RDB,wow….itz beyond words…experience it chill out

  166. Tanuj says

  169. i get lost in thoughts when i hear the song rubaroo…..its like a dream …same with tu bin bataaye and luka chupi….

    lyrics are fantastic and AR rehmans rendition is simplylovable

    title song and khalbali are nice songs to be played when dansing with friends

    khun chala has the most isnpring lyirics ever same with rubaroo

    “dhuan chataaa khulaaa gagan mera”
    just love it

    Rehmanbhai, this is a breakthrough album which caters more to classes and little in it for masses too

    The music is one of the best in recent times and considering the fitment in movie it simply rocks!!
    Rahman has created one of his master pieces and shut mouth of his critics after Mangal Pandey!!

  200. Hey Guys..
    Nice reviews..Seems like we have lotza ARR fans here..I might top the list!!

    Everyone has covered every bit of RDB nothing much left for me to say..

    To me the best song of the album is Lukka Chuppi. Iisten to this one from your heart and think about your mother(especially if you are living away from her), it makes your eyes moist..very touchy!!

    The rest of the songs are also great..Blaaze blazing away with Paatshaala eng version(you will love more it if you watch the visuals)

    Kalbali is made for masses(end of the day it is “show me the money”)

    Roobaroo is simply outstanding because of its simplicity. Watch out for Rahman’s high pitch notes and say WOW!! (heard saying this is his favourite tarck in one of this post-release interviews.)

    The title tack sounds funny/weird the first time you listen, later you’ll fall in love with this one. Daler is back and Chitra sweet as always(experimentation at its best!!) Khoon Chala is equally good!!

    RDB is a great package and a must buy for all ARR fans!!

  218. A.R.Rahman is a real genius.Rang De Basanti is a good album.But in my opinion he’s not composing in the same quality now.South-Indians can understand it better.Because they know abt movies like Rythm,Duet etc, which are not popular among the bollywood fans.For them,I m giving a list of a few songs.Listen to them.Then u can understand how superbly he was composing before.
    1)Yeh Haseen Wadiyan(Roja)
    2)Roja Janeman(Roja)
    3)Bharat Humko(Roja)
    4)Tu Hi Re(Bombay)
    5)Ja re Ja(Duniya Dilwalon Ki)
    6)Mustafa Mustafa(Duniya Dilwalon Ki)
    7)Jaana(Duniya Dilwalon Li)
    8)Ek Ladki Thi(Love You Hamesha)
    Last but not the least,is ‘Bombay Theme’.It is just mindblowing.
    There are loads of others.He is not composing in the same style.
    In Rang De Basanti, except ‘tum bin bataye’,no other song is in that style.

  225. S.Sandeep says
    16-Mar-2006 at 12:25 pm
  226. Hey kranthi!!! is it a movie directed by Mani Ratnam,starring Madhavan and Simran, about a little girl.I think it was dubbed to telugu under the name ‘Amruta’.
    If it is so,then u r right.It had great songs.He’s always given special music for Mani Ratnam.

  242. i think rang de basanti is fantastic. when i buy music i dont see the films name ,but i see the music director. and it wont be an exaggeration to tell that my shelf is full of ar rehmans music. he is a talented guy . you cant compare his music. i feel reviews about his songs are meaningless ! ( that is my feeling ,not necessarily be true ! ) because every track of his has a diifferent melody. songs of mangal pandey ,ofcourse didnt find good market but to be true even they were fantastic ! it had the feel of local indian village. especially that “holi” song and “man vari vari ” were apt with the screenplay ! range de basanti music has added color to the movie and every track including khoon chala was fascinating . and i dont agree that whichever song lata mangeshkar sings HAS to be good ! yes she sings sings GOOD songs .but a horribly mapped song cant sound melodious in her voice ?. luka chupi song is fascinating and any tough viewer is reduced to tears with the melody in it. the ALAP toward s the end only potrays the genius in ar rehman.
    he is simply the best. all songs of his are best . he is not like other music directors who adopts NASAL tones to woo public. he has pure talent .one needs pure talent to understand the feel of his songs and lets see all public hears their inner voice while hearing his songs . such is the petrifying effect of his songs !
    i dont want to prove you wrong. you are rught in your way ,but this is what i feel about the great music director and as an ardent fan i feel that it is meaningless to review his songs . THEY ARE THE BEST !

  258. hmmmmm…… i guess i disagree with most of u
    i didnt think the album was as great as ppl are making it out be, it just seems overhyped n rather average by the way i didnt think the movie was anythg great either
    the comedy was decent but when the bratpack just decides ya we’re pissed we’re gonna shoot the DM the movie just falls apart…
    but everyone seems to be prasing it cuz its rehman’s music and an aamir khan film.
    It has only 2 decent tracks rang de bsanti (coming from a guy who hates bhangra) n roobaroo (i stopped listening to it after i heard this really awesome version sung at my college fest … get shivers down my spine just thinking about it)
    most of rehman’s music sounds the same to me … with the same beats being repeated over n over again… but i guess thats just my opinion
    but i feel albums like Bluffmaster, Zinda, Kalyug, Zeher have songs that are way better than this one…

  260. i guess i must have pissed a whole bunch of u guys with my last post but hey i’m not trying to piss ppl off or anythg like that its my opinion if u like the music good for you if u dont u dont.
    anyway i guess i have to post this link this is probably one of the worst reviews this movie must have got but its a must read cuz its probably one of the funniest reviews u’ll ever come across

  266. hi all!!

    I think few of us have taken things very seriously (talking about the reviews of Dark lord of sith). I think we all are forgetting one thing that he told us what he thinks (that might be right or wrong). AR Rehman is a legend but how can you say that a legend always give a great music. And more over, if you have a heart to praise someone you must heard to listen to things which are not with your tune.

    I am not defending or ofending someone but just telling to hear othes call too.

    and in the last, AR Rehman is a human….

    Somebody could translate me the song “Khoon Chala�??? I find it very beautiful but I don’t understand the lyrics…

    I’ll second this. I’d love to see translated lyrics for Khoon Chala (english please!) I can sing the whole song in Hindi, but don’t speak it so would like to know what i’m sining!

    i’m in the US, and i can agree, AR Rahman is incredible. I just picked up the soundtrack to Swaades, and am trying to find Kisna (it’s hard to get Hindi soundtracks in the US). I also have RDB and the Earth/Fire/Water sountracks. his music may not appeal to the masses, but i love everything i’ve heard. i even pick films to watch based on whether he does the music!
