AR Rahman has come up with his latest offering – Ravan. The maestro teams up with Gulzar once again and the combination brings great joy to listeners, as both the artists are experts in their respective fields. Mani Ratnam’s direction is another plus to this combination. Rahman is knwn to produce his best for Mani Ratnam. The tunes of Roja, Bombay, Dil Se, Guru, Saathiya come to mind instantly.
The album seems to reflect the kind of movie that Ravan actually is. It has a rustic feel to it, and includes a semi-devotional songs as well. “Beera” is a cult song in the album and is sung by Mustafa Kutuane. “Ranjaha – ranjha”, sung by Rekha Bharathwaj and Javed Ali is sure to be a hit song. Radio stations are already buzzing with this song. The other favorite song is “Thok de Killi”, by Sukhwinder SIngh has an Arabian flavor in its interludes. It is such interesting juxtaposition of myriad flavors that makes Rahman’s work worth waiting. Rahman’s amazing rhythm sense comes good in “Kata-Kata”, which has lively beat sequences and is an uplifting song. “Kille Re” is the semi-devotional song which seems to be pictured around Aishwarya Rai (just guessing)
Overall, its an excellent album and Rahman has stretched his potential once again to offer his fans the best. Ravan Music album is a must buy. The movie is expected to release in later half of June, and is a bi-lingual (Hindi and Tamil).
