My Favourite tunes!!

Being a great lover of music, sometime back i felt i dont seem to like any songs maybe because of absence of ARR from prime time cinema. He did come back with a bang with Rang De Basanti. Most of his other albums recently were quite impressive too. My recent favourites have been..

Munbe Vaa : Beautifully shot (partly abroad) with vibrant hues, the song makes you yearn for something long last. The singers have rendered it very well and have given life to the song. Very soulful music and a wonderful melody. Well no wonder i dont understand the lyrics in the first para not because of the music but maybe cos of the singer who is not used to the language. I have saved this song as my dialer tune. So anyone who calls me can hear this song & as my ringtone as well so even i can hear it everytime my mobile rongs!!And this pic courtesy google is superb luckily stumbled on it.


Newyork Nagaram : This is another disturbing song with amazing music. ARR sure knows which song will suit his voice and has sung very well in his usual stlye. The song is also shot in a different way with frames moving to the left of the screen. One thing is nagging in my mind, the song starts as newyork nagaram but i really wonder whether it was shot in Newyork. The prelude, interlude and everything sure puts you in a state of trance. This song will definitely be among the top favourite songs list of all ARR fans.

Tere Bina : The song is said to be a tribute paid to Nusret Fateh Ali khan. Its quite evident how Nusret has inspired Rahman in his works. Rahman tries to sing in typical Nusret stlye the pitch and everything and its classy. Its quite challenging to shoot a song that has come out well. The beautiful sets and location and the way it has been shot adds a lot of beauty to the already beautiful song. This is what we call aesthetic sense.

I had the opportunity of meeting him once but i was too young to realise what a great musician he is and it was the time he was beginning his career and i was barely 7yrs old. He has done relatively fewer films in hindi but all of them have been simply mind-blowing for instance Rangeela,Lagaan.

And for all those who thinks Rahman has lost his style just stop over-analyzing, Breathe easy and give him a break.

Note: I had drafted this post 3 months back. With few modifications published it now

Hmmm yeah may be... But there was a feel, a vibration, a warmth that touches ur soul in Rahman's music in the time of Jeans, Rhythm, Sangamam, Alaipayudhe and films like that...

That is sure missing these days, may be he is not getting too much invloved in the dumbo scripts made for tamil films these days...

But the songs u have mentioned shows a very good come back from the king esp after the music of those 2 crap SJ Suryah movies...

KSR -> the films u mentioned where his music where magic were dumbo scripts only like jeans.. Maybe he isn't able to strike a chord with the directors..
