Supporters of the maestro defend the album, citing unrealistic expectations from the musical genius – which he undoubtedly is – but many greats have been victims of their own fame and it appears Rahman may be adding himself to the tally. Delhi-6 almost seems like an amalgamation of tracks that Rahman has handpicked from his previous albums, remastered them and clubbed it all together for this film. Masakali is a perfect example – a signature Rahman tune that merges two distinct melodies into a single composition and teams it with Prasoon Joshi's lyrics that probably feature no where in any language dictionary. The sufiesque Arziyaan, picturised in Delhi's famed Jama Masjid, sees Rahman attempting to pull-off another Khwaja Mere Khwaja (Jodha Akbar), but doesn't quite reach the same richness. The title track and Hey Kaala Bandar may remind you of the earlier collaboration of Rahman, Joshi and director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra in Rang De Basanti, and you wouldn't be too far off the mark if Masti Ki Paatshala pops in your head. At this stage in his career Rahman needs to experiment with his sound. Thankfully, ballads Rehna Tu and Dil Gira Dafatan come as a breath of fresh air. Rahman lends his voice to the former, teaming up with blue-eyed boy Benny Dayal for a soothing romantic rendition. Other tracks include the traditional sounding Bhor Bayae, Aarti and Genda Phool.
