Jhoota hi Sahi an A.R.Rahman weapon


Pam Para : Instantaneous feel of an ARR track from the 90’s. Full of energy with some of his trade mark sounds, beats and tune. The first interlude proves the presence of Sivamani in ARR troupe, classy and very foot taping. The feel in this song is very similar to the Ooolaala song especially the rhythm, tune play and the entire song structure. It was Chitra in Oolala and its Shreya who took it away completely in this song. ARR is in the modern 2010s era but still he has pulled out one number from his vintage collection. Try this song when you are working out or in a social gathering at your place (Girls Meet) lol, I can envision them dancing around with lot of soft toys and pink colour.
Do Nishaniyan : I wait for this song in the album, what an piece of music , I firstly want to bow down to ARR. This song alone proves that ARR has been keeping his soul touching tunes in the box since nobody has been giving him the right opportunity to utilize them. The opening stands tall and it’s a ride to the heaven. Sonu Nigam has one more track which will rank among his best of best. The Charanam, Interludes is at top notch throughout the song. Heart melting tune and anybody would fall for it on the go. Real feel good when you are travelling and on the go (Foreign locales, with nature)
Call me Dil : A simple tune, however the overall presentation makes it creative and instantly likeable. The guitar sound is crystal clear like Rashids Ali’s voice. A beautiful evergreen song with amazing lyrics and orchestration. This album has a more a western feel to it is because of this song and off course I have been waiting for the moonlight.
Hello Hello : My beloved in the album cause it just my kind of ARR song. The opening beats will drop you down and leave you astonished when the guitar strings follows up. Karthiks voice is well suited here because the track falls under the category of virus. ARR virus songs include Hey Ennachu, Khoyee Khoyee Aankhein , Kya kare ya na kare etc. Majority of these songs are rendered in a subtle and lower scale accompanied by violins at the bg. The phone sounds are totally new and the interludes blow your mind completely out. This song will grow on you immensely and is well suited for driving on a freeway, workouts and an early morning jog.
I have been waiting for the moonlight: In and out western track and you will feel it. Bollywood is very lucky to get a jazz track of immense quality for this film. Vijay has over performed in this track and will be credited rightly by all. The interludes give you pure bliss if you are on a candle light dinner with your loved one. Even a non Jazz lover will get hooked on to it that’s my challenge. Best suited for a candle light dinner, relaxing at home with a cup of coffee at your drawing room enjoying the nature.
Maaya Yoshoda : Fun loving, groovy festive track. Majority of the people will just love this track for the beats and the tune. Chinmayee man she is crazy what a voice phew. You will never recognize her voice here until you read on the CD cover. The sitar interlude leaves you with goose pumps wow wow wow. I just wish ARR uses sitar a lot more in his future albums. There is also a remix version which is neatly done and will go well with the dance floors. This song is for the festive time baby and dusara and diwali knocking doors.
Cry Cry : Here comes Kabhi kabhi aditi -2 . I just do not have anything to say about this song. How many times has a song become an hit with just seconds of its trailer or even before the audio releases, examples are kabhi kabhi aditi and cry cry. Cute, funny, crazy, maddening song for the young crowd so listen to it and ash karo.
Abbas Tyrewalla has proved that he falls in the category of Mani Ratnam, Shankar, Shyam Benegal, Shubash Ghai and Rakesh Omprakash Mehra in terms of his rapport with ARR. All the above greats have consistently extracted quality and creative music from ARR. Abbas is super successfully in extracting something different which is his style for the second time. The best album this year in Bollywood so far bearing in mind Rockstar is yet to come.
