When ROJA came out in 1993, its music caught everybody’s attention especially the chhoti si asha . song, people were all the more surprised when they saw an unknown name on music cassettes covers, that was A R Rehman as music director of this movie, a young person only in his twenties…His original name is Dilip Kumar and he has converted to Islam later on as Allah Rakha Rehman, Incidentally, his wife’s name is Saira Banu, a very strange coincidence indeed…
Almost all of his songs are different and good, but I will write Ten Best songs I like very much-
1.**Kehna hi kya yeh nain ek anjaan se mile**…sung out of the world by Chitra.from movie BOMBAY.
2.**Ae ajnabi tu bhi kabhi awaaz de kahin se**…from movie DIL SE…sung by Udit Narayan.How could he give so good music, only God knows…
3.**Jiya jale jaan jale**….from movie DIL SE…sung by Lata Mangeshkar.Nobody could have sung it better, it looks this song was made for her only…
4.**Woh kisna hai**….from KISNA…very interesting, some of the part of the song is sung by Ismail Darbaar also.
5.**Radha kaise na jale**…from LAGAAN…sung by Asha Bhosle.a very good song to her credit.
6.**O paalan hare, nirgun aur nyare**…from LAGAAN…sung by Lata Mangeshkar, This is my all time favorite…very peaceful song…excellent https://lyrics.
7.**Kay sera sera, ab jo ho so ho**…from PUKAR.Its a very good song, good dance by Prabhu Deva, great choreography…its rumored 28 retakes were taken for this song.
8.**Chhoti si asha**….from ROJA…sung by Minmini, I must admit south Indian female singers are just out of the world, they have such sweet voices and sing songs with such clarity and finesse.Who can forget this song…
9.**Saathiya .madham madham teri gili hansi**….from SAATHIYA.one of the very good songs of Sonu Nigam…I wonder who wrote those lyrics!
10.**Kabhi neem neem.**from YUVA…
I also like one more song…**Mehndi hai rachne wali, haathon mein gehri lali**…from ZUBEIDA.
Thanks for reading my review.
