The music director's lilting breakout cry of Rubaru, roshni hai is a definite high. The coming-of-age number, Rubaru is yet another winner ably delivered by Rahman and Naresh Iyer. This one's a fun song with a lot of nonsensical lyrics from Prasoon Joshi, while Blaze adds his signature rap to the song's second version. Naresh Iyer and Mohamed Aslam croon this obvious but lighthearted rebel anthem, with lyrics that spell out as much. Next comes the rock 'n' rollish Paathshala. Chithra too joins in the party, as the music director gives Bhangra music a whole new lease from its overused pop-rock avatar. The annoying Dingadingading just keeps buzzing in your head after a few hears. Bhangra king Daler Mehendi is at his boisterous best, as Rahman infuses an infectious rhythm into the song. Sung by Harshdeep Kaur this one is a treat for those with an ear for devotional songs or otherwise.Īfter the sombre opening, the soundtrack literary blasts off with the winner title track, Rang De Basanti. The album begins on a spiritual note, with the Gurbani Ik Onkaar. The music director has lent his voice for almost every other track. There's also plenty in store for the fans of Rahman-the singer. After a spate of period movies, A R Rahman is back to what he is 'supposedly' best at - creating music for the youth.Īnd Rang De Basanti's music has all the ingredients for a 'young' recipe - a peppy bhangra, a rebel anthem, a coming of age song, and a dash of maternal instinct.
