Music Review: Rang de Basanti

A hit Rahman album after a long time. His latest albums Mangal Pandey and Bose were strictly ok. The credits form Kisna were shared by him and Ismail even though he turned up with an excellend haunting number “Hum hai is pal yahaan”

Coming back to Rang de Basanti the album has all kinda numbers: patriotic, soft numbers, fun tracks. The album seems to be missing a romantic number…..

The album has few good songs like the Pathshala, Khalbali, Rubaroo, Khoon chala, Lukka Chupi and Tu Bin bataye.

I am in really awe with Rubaroo and Pathshala (my fav track of this album)……these numbers remind me of DCH…these are typical AR Rahman numbers..check out for the lyrics of the song Pathshala…..
talli hokar girne se
samjhi humne gravity
ishq ka practical kiya
tab aayee clarity
na koi padhnewala, na koi sikhnewala
apni to pathshala, masti ki pathshala


Lukka chupi is a nice track sung by Lata after a longtime…was last heard in Lucky (Shayad yahin to pyar hai).
Khoon Chala is a very slow number sung by Mohit Chauhan (from Silk route). This one is a winner after his previous amazing track “Guncha Koi” from Main Meri Patni aur woh.
Tu Bin bataye has striking similarities with “O paalanhare” and it has been rendered beautifully by Madhushree
