Something about this song is very captivating...may take a while to grow, but once it holds you, you keep wanting to hear it again and again! I'm addicted to this song......the melody is actually quite simple and traditional, but has a hook and intensity that is very direct and gripping. It's the thickly layered soundscapes which surround the skeletal melody and brilliant vocals of Rekha and Javed along with the whole ambiance of the song that is so very magical to me......blends of middle eastern, folk, techno, trance...just brilliant....has a bit of a primal feel to it too with that mosquito drone sound coming in and out now and then with the use of Rekha's voice electronically processed....
The best decription in a review that I came across about this song was from Apunkachoice.com's review of Raavan. About Ranjha Ranjha... "There is something inexplicable about the track Ranjha Ranjha belted out efficiently by Rekha Bhradwaj and Javed Ali. As the song settles in your heart, you are drenched in the richness of Rahman's music. Now that is indescribable".
