Thanks Gayathri for your comments. I respect your opinion. In fact as shown in graph too I also regard Lagaan and Saathiya (both I rated as 8/10) as his bests works between Taal (9.5/10) and Dehli 6 (8.5/10). I must rate them a little lower than Delhi 6 because I believe Delhi 6 is (a little) superior. And yes Chupke se is one of my all time favorites too, in fact in my top 10 ARR songs. About JA, I am a huge fan (Mann mohana is my most favorite of all his songs since Chupke se). however I still believe that it's songs are not as much appealing to general people as to ARR fans (In lamho ke daaman, though such gem of a song), or too situational (Azeem-o-shaan) or appealing to general people but not that much too ARR fans (Jashn-e-bahara). I therefore place it at 7.5/10, little lower than Lagaan and Saathiya. About RDB, I very much love this album but mainly the title song, Tu bin bataye and Lukka chupi. honestly I am not a big fan of the rest, especially Paatshala, Khalbali, Laalkar and Khoon chala. Therefore I rated it 7/10.
