| AR Rahman |
As AR Rahman celebrates another birthday, i feel blessed to have been born in an era where he lived and composed music. I have come up with five ARR tracks that i love the most.
1) ' Luka Chuppi ' - Rang De Basanti
Artists: Lata Mangeshkar and AR Rahman
Lyrics: Javed Akthar
This is for me the best ARR composition ever. A slow melody you can call it, The vocals of Lata Mangeshkar and AR Rahman stands out in this song. The song symbolizes the relationship between a mother and her son, the lyrics by Javed Akthar is simply brilliant and adds to the charm of this song. I feel that this is the best among songs that have been sung by Rahman himself.
2) ' Idayam Idam Mariyathe ' - Jodhaa Akbar(Tamil)
Artist: Karthik and KS Chitra
Lyrics: Na Muthukumar
'In Lamhon Ke Daman Mein' is my favorite track in Jodha Akbar and it was on Youtube that i came across the Tamil version of this song sung by Karthik and KS Chitra. Felt like i was listening to a whole new song and the lyrics by Na Muthukumar is stunning. The lyrics no doubt is the winner here, Karthik and Chitra's vocals takes it to yet another level. It is really sad that this song went unnoticed, a very few people know that this song exist. Just listen once and you will instantly fall in love with it.
3) 'Newyork Nagaram' - Sillunu oru Kadhal
Artist: AR RahmanLyrics: Vaali
Most people would prefer 'Munbe Va' over 'Newyork Nagaram' when it comes to the album 'Sillunu oru Kadhal', definitely not me. I was once so addicted to this song that i would listen to it for hours everyday. AR Rahman's voice again adds magic to this song, Just can't imagine anyone else singing this song. Vaali's lyrics is awesome and is in par with the music. I found an English translation of this beautiful song's lyrics.
4) 'Nadhiye Nadhiye' - Rythm
Artist: Unni Menon
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Rythm is one of the best albums ever from AR Rahman, every song is unique and stands out in it's own charm. Whenever Unni Menon and AR Rahman joins for a song, magic happens. 'Nadhiye Nadhiye' is one among those wonders from AR Rahman and Unni Menon. Vairamuthu is at his best here.
Rythm - Nadhiye Nadhiye
5) ' Arziyan '- Delhi 6
Artist: Javed Ali, Kailash Kher
A devotional number from Delhi 6 sung by Kailash Kher and Javed Ali. Never been a big admirer of Kailash Kher's voice but this changed all. I just love this song, even being 8 minutes and 40 seconds long, It is one of the most played in my iPod.
A few other songs that came close are 'Ay Hairathe Aashiqui' - Guru , 'Yeh Jo Des' - Swades, Sandana Thendralai - Kandukondaen Kandukondaen.
