Re: [arr] Re: One More very disappointing Ja review .. Sorry for posting this here
a small request This group consists of people who just love ARR and his works... if you do not like any of ARR songs... Pls do not post it in the groups. as it may disturb other people, though you have all the freedom to speak out your views, but that will trigger hard feelings and it goes on and on Just a suggestion ...

This sounds too modern for the 16th century, and no, it is still not a great song. This is so not pleasing to the ears and it seems Rahman had to rush to the loo and hence finished it in a jiffy. The santoors, harps, and the extra effort on making the arrangement sound arabic doesn't help it at all. This song is just complete waste. Third track- The harmonium , the Qawwali Harmonium, it reminds me of Piya Haji Ali(Fiza) or perhaps Mann Ye Baanwra (Hazaaro Khwahishein Aisi): that signature vocal sound of A.R.Rahman and there he goes-Ya Ghareeb Nawaaz….oh the bass and the keyboards, the claps and the ambient chorus, and then..the Tablas happen. *Khwaja Mere Khwaja* rules the entire soundtrack. The bass continues to go strong and then, we have an unknown wind instrument going solo. Needless to say, the ease with which Rahman hits the high notes gives the song an exalted feel. The tabla tempo changes near the end, as the song crescendoes. And as expected, Sonu Nigam features in at track 4:*In Lamho ke Daaman main*. The words are absolute magic here–In Lamho Ke Daaman main, Paakezah sa Rishta Hai . I guess Rahman saved Sonu for the best. There is an intoxicating echo element in this song. Madhushree

I can totaly see Ash expressing Prem Aag main Jalte Dono Hi….Tan Bhi Hai, Man Bhi…, and the flute takes over. When it comes to Rahman, the structure of a song, more than often, defies definition. Same is the case here. This one is a bit of respect retainer for the soundtrack. Rahman has given us O Paalanhaare and Pal Pal Hai Bhaari, both Bhajans written by Javed Akhtar. With *Mann Mohana*, the directors intention was to deal with Jodhaa's Hindu roots. I don't know what to say about this one. It is for sure not an ordinary song, but at the same time, I wouldn't actually remember this one after listening to the whole soundtrack, or perhaps watching the movie (unless Ash does something). Further the portion: tum bin paau
