--- In [email protected], Ashok Purohit Not to offend you or anything but, I do not agree with you Ashok. My observation of Rahman songs suggests that his best tracks are the longer ones. All my favorite Rahman compositions fall in 6:00 min(+/- 1 min) category.
For example: Tu hi re - Bombay - 7:15 Pyar kabhi na - Chor chor - 6:34 Ay nazneen suno - DHDM - 5:58 Chaiya chaiya - Dil se - 6:52 Dil se re - Dil se - 6:43 Mustafa Mustafa - DDK - 6:06 Urvashi Urvashi - HHM - 5:41 My wish comes true - Kisna - 5:50 Lagaan - average time per song = 6:00 Chinamma - Meenaxi - 5:46 Kismat se tum - Pukar - 6:25 Yuhi chal chal - Swades - 7:28 Yeh tara woh tara - Swades 7:13 Nahin samne - Taal - 6:04 Khamosh raat - Thakshak - 6:21 Sarfaroshi ki tamanna - TLOBS - 6:49 Anjali Anjali - THMD - 6:17 Maa tujhe salam - VM - 6:11 Pachai Nirame - AP - 5:57 Theendai - ES - 6:44 Secret of success - Boys - 6:08 Enna solli - Thenali - 5:48 Kannathil muttamittal - KM - 6:41 Thillana thillana - Muthu - 6:22 Spiderman - New - 5:58 Anbae sugama - 5:30 The list can go on for ever. Although these are MY all time Rahman favorites, you cannot classify any one of these songs as inferior to any other song that is less than 4:00 minutes. Rahman's biggest hits have always been over 5:00 minutes at least. That is one of the brilliance of Rahman's music, it never sounds redundant, even if the song is 7 mins long. The three Mangals are completely unique. I mixed them such that it sounds like one song with a steady flow, without any noticeable interruption. I was actually amazed at Rahman's genius. He never siezes to surprise me. When I heard the final version with all the Mangals combined, the differences in the three versions became very obvious. Have you heard the song? Try it and let me know if you feel it was too long or if it gets boring at anytime during the 7 minutes. Salute to Mr. Rahman for a gift so unique.
