CALL ME DIL – RASHID ALI
Awesome composition by Rahman.Perfectly Rahman’ish….
Call me dil‘s dulcet notes get accentuated because of Rashid Ali’s vocals as Rahman gets his balladish orchestration pitch-perfect here!
CRY CRY – RASHID ALI,SHREYA GHOSHAL
Rashid’s other track, Cry cry, is the mellow, pondering equivalent of Aditi; similar in its free-flowing format and conversational lyrics, particularly when Shreya Ghoshal joins, this one is vintage Rahman-style slow poison!
HELLO HELLO – KARTHIK
Hello hello is where Rahman plays his genre-bending card…rather well. With a faint echo of Middle-eastern, but treading pleasant experimentations, this track by Karthik is interesting precisely because of its unconventional sound!
MAYYA YASHODA – CHINMAYEE,JAVED ALI
Chinmayi sounds different yet again and is in brilliant form, as she joins Javed Ali in Mayya Yashoda…a spritely, mildly spoofy traditional tune that gets hyper-enthusiastic towards the end!
DO NISHAANIYAN – SONU NIGAM
Sonu goes all moony in Do nishaaniyan, but it sounds at best like a Yuvvraaj leftover, except for Abbas’s fascinating lyrics!
PAM PA RA – SHREYA GHOSHAL
Pam pa ra, beyond that simplistic facade, holds a lovely mix of genres, much like Hello hello – a stagey, but charming mix!
I’LL BE WAITING – VIJAY YESUDAS
I’ll be waiting is the soundtrack’s stunning highlight – Vijay Yesudas in a dreamy, beautifully orchestrated, jazzy package that touches on lovely Hindi lyrics too!
There are two remixes – Do Nishaaniyan ( Reprise ) and Mayya Yashoda ( Thames Mix ) in the album…
As if making up for Endhiran’s bombastic outburst, Rahman delivers and succeeds with a gorgeous experiment, quite confidently!
