I have been listening to it since yesterday. Have lost count of the number of times.
I have started to like, rather love all the songs except maulaa. mangal mangal is still at the top. Its lyrics are also so lovely. And Rasiya had come to be the second best. The initial confusion about the mood of it has got cleared. It can be considered like "kahiin aag lage" of Taal. The beats of main vaarii vaarii are also getting in my head. I still find kavitha's voice irritating in it. but overall the song is good. The only problem is that it seems out of place in the album. And its placement is also wrong that it is kept just after mangal mangal. A mujra feels cheap after a song like mangal mangal. I am not making any opinion about Takey Takey. That seems to be a situational song and probably we can understand its significance only after seeing the movie. Holi re looses on the count of poor lyrics. All old stale metaphors, all those radha kishan things that had been in millions of songs. ============== The worst song is maula maula. I am surprised how could ARR come up with such a song after having given dozens of divine devotional songs. Just the other day, he gave zikr, and now this crap. The problem I find in this song is that it is less of a devotional, and more of a fighting/ attack song. The voices have spoiled the song. The devotion and bowing to almightly is not becoming apparent in the song. Only ARR's voice has some semblance of "calling allaah", rest of the voices are just singing or speaking something. They are not pleading to allaah to help them. They are rather ordering allaah to bloody help them, or face the conseqences. It is so fast that it might be a march song of zehadis out to exterminate non-muslims. This type of song raises fear in the heart of non-muslims. contrast this song with noor un alaa or haji ali, and you will know what I am missing in this song. ARR's chant of maulaa is the only saving grace of this song. -- Rawat This August, Discover the Birth of Your Independence and The Magic of A.R.Rahman's Music in Mangal Pandey - The Rising http://www.risingthefilm.com http://www.mangalpandeythefilm.com Music released: Jul 14, 2005 Movie releases: Aug 12, 2005 Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.
