Aamir to sing again
To Rahmans music for Rakesyh Mehras Rang De Basanti Subhash K Jha The multi-faceted Aamir Khan's musical talent was first exposed when he rendered his voice to the smash-hit number 'Aati kya khandala' for Vikram Bhatts Ghulam. At that time, even Lata Mangeshkar had commented on how tunefully Aamir had sung this Jatin-Lalit number. Seven years later, Aamir will be singing an entire song in Rakeysh Mehra's Rang De Basanti. Prior to this, Aamir had lent his voice to a choral number in Lagaan. The number for Rang De is called Lalkaar and has been written by Prasoon Joshi and composed by A R Rahman, who shares a close association with Aamir since the Lagaan days. Both Aamir and Rahman have been closely associated with Rang De Basanti from the start and they knew every nuance of the plot. None of the ten songs from the film are item songs. They're all part of the narrative. Aamir's song comes at a critical juncture in the narrative. When we arrived at this song there was no hesitation Aamir was the first and only choice. Rahman and I immediately agreed on him. And it's turned out beautifully, says Mehra. "What makes the music of Rang De Basanti special is that the songs didn't crawl out of the studio. They grew out of the narrative. We'd scrap tunes, find new ones, create and re-create, until they jelled with the situations .And yes, Aamir was a part of the film's musical journey, he adds. http://www.mumbaimirror.com/nmirror/mmpaper.asp?sectid=10§name=Entertainment&sess=213920138 "We neglect our cities at our peril.
