Raag De Rahman
11Jan06
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.
that “kalpali” song just got into my nerves…& “loose control” sounded like a weird disco song…
“Rang De Basanti” song was great… I expected fireworks from the amir-arr combo.. but the album on the initial run sounded like a Anu Malik effort
