Bhai!!Tze kya ho raha hai.
I just don’t understand when we stop worshiping individuals. Rehman is a great musician, probably greater than all indian musicians of this ear together. But what it has to do with Music of JA! He didn’t live upto the expectations, he has build over so many year. Everyone is bound to be compared with their prior work.

WOW…people are reacting too much on a blog for a movie which in entirety is not so great.
Some people, seems have made it big and have commented in a not so good way, just cos the blogger to them is a novice.
After watching the movie and hearing its soundtrack, I don’t care how anybody rates this movie. I rate both the movie and music a 2.
And people, who want to comment, don’t get personal and comment on someone’s qualification or how that affects someones listening.
Movie is mediocre and there is nothing wrong in saying that…guys who don’t like this, were you paid to fight against this blog. Sony BMG - REST IN PEACE.

[...] do not do much help in elevating the narrative. A.R.Rahman fails to spell magic this time around as I have said before. The best track of the soundtrack –Khwaja Mere Khwaja is the only one which succeeds in leaving a [...]

@ Nirvaan,

Feels great that my small blog post has been able to create such an unexpected uproar that the business itself,( by that I mean the signing off with Sony BMG) is replying. Feels really honored. As far as NIT goes, there’s hardly anything called “so called” when it comes to NIT. It is either NIT or it just isn’t. How it reflects my music and English skills is well pretty irrelevant. I believe that you are taking for granted that Engineers can only talk bull shit and are creatively just umm…well mechanical? Ok take this, Shankar Mahadevan is an Engg from REC Calicut.
As far as freedom of expression goes, I have never used it as an excuse. If I feel that the music is mediocre in every sense, not only considering the standards of AR Rahman, but also by a period-genre movie made my Mr.Detail Gowariker himself, I’d simply put it so, no matter how much worship Mr.Rahman.
Me better off writing loops. Okay, how ’bout this little detail.
My fav track on the album- Khwaja Mere Khwaja- hear the prominent harmonium?
Historians are outraged at this. Why? The Harmonium originated in France and were brought to India in the 19th century by Maula Baksh, long after the Mughal Empire had met its dusk.

And well, if you at all think good music is only understood well by the learned, I’m afraid to say, it ain’t good at all. I don’t need primary education to get thrilled by Bach’s notes, neither do I have to dispose my degree of Engineering to praise Rahman’s music. I hope we are through!!
No offense. Just freedom of expression. ROFL. Peace

Am still not brave enough to bear the 3hrs 40 mins. This weekend doesn’t seem good healthwise. Hmm….INOX is likely to see a fart erruption.!!!

I agree with you only with the point that Kwhaja Mere Kwhaja is the best song of the film. The music is better than that of Guru though not up to the mark of Rang De Basanti. It is the best music that can be given to a Mughal film. Azeem O shaan Shehenshah is the second best of the album. The music with the sword fighting and the instrumental music at the end of the song are exquisite.
It is the best song in terms of technicality. He gives a touch of Tagore’s music in Inn Lamhon Ke Daaman me. You could have wrote better about it.

Mr Sujoy,

Surely you being in so called “NIT” reflects your music and English skills n sense….but a request dont use your freedom of expression as an excuse ……its a feeling of depression reading such amateurish and naive reviews…Grow up kid…you are better off writing for loops…leave the reviews for the learned
