Anyways another effect which is worth
mentioning..the rhythm aspect of the song Maula...very detailed melody, every
note fitting into the frame of mishrachapu the cycle..the gamakas are
divine and fits perfectly in order. The style of changing ragas or melodic
scales is much heavier in this song compared to Pal Pal Hai Bhaari of swades.
The raga/melody arrangement is indeed amazing for those music purist you might
get wht am I trying to convey here. The rising is indeed a succesfull
Experimental soundtrack.

exceptional Tala and ragas.
hai Keshav,
excellent review. Congratulations and
thanks for
providing such a wonderful review.
This is evidence of
true review.
There will be mixed reactions for Rising. But i
believe
that i will end up atleast a big hit.
Rahman's beauty is adding lot of
loops and variations
in the songs.I believe Rising songs a lot
of
variations which i never ever noticed in his
earlier
songs.
There is seamless integration of different
variations
of tunes in the Ma vari vari song.It amazes how
this
variation happening in the song without anyone can
ever notice
that.
Next time keep listen carefully you find the
variations
clearly.
