Just when I thought AR Rahman hit rock bottom with his lackluster score for Aamir Khan’s Rang De Basanti – I heard his endearing music for Deepa Mehta’s Water. Though it has some hangover from their previous collaboration 1947 Earth. Here he re-establishes his ‘born supremacy’ over Period music – period! 
RDB didn’t sound lackluster. i thought rahman wanted it to match the film’s idea. it reminded me of kathal desam days.
