People varied in choices and the thought that ones best work is, always ? mark. I think till now Rehman?s best work is Zubeidaa. When? Why? How? Let me answer in this review.
-------->-------->Dheeme Dheeme sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy<-------<-------
It?s a hummable tune with classy expressions by the singer. The speciality of Rehman?s compositions Flute is there with some superb piano work and support of drum makes it unforgettable track of all times. The melody and imagination of the composer speaks itself in this song. Once you listen to this song and you will stick to it for years. I found the people who even don?t like Rehman?s music like this song. A Special one.
------------>---------->So Gaey Hain sung by Lata Mangeshker<---------<---------
I can never been able to believe that in this age Lata gi has sung this song and so beautifully that my praise end here and I am astounded. The music feels that you are in Year 1950. the violin work is outstanding. The expression Lata gi give in this song certainly make your mood a bit sad and you are caught with some tears in your eyes. This is what music can do to you just hear it and believe it.
-------->-------->Door Kahin Ek Aam sung by Lata Mangeshker<-------<----------
Is the singer is same who sung the above one song, unimaginable. I am wordless again. The fresh feeling like morning breeze is what this song is all about. Only two instruments are used in this song and all control by Lata gi. After R.D.Burman its Rehman who can do this. Thumb up for Lata gi & Rehman.
-------->-------->Mehki Mehki hain Rahain sung by Alka and Udit<-------<-------
The routine work by Rehman here I have heard the same pieces by Rehman in his many other songs. But still the melody is there. The song is different from all other songs by other composers so it stands out in all of those in this category of Romantic Duet. In Rehman?s work its just average one. it is hearable and likeable song.
------------>---------->Main Albeli by Kavita Krishnamurthy<--------<-----------
The song has music which again feels that you are 100 years back but the very best of the experiments Rehman makes the chorus has some thing special to offer. The only dance number in the album with the touch of late 50?s. Marvelous work by Rehman.
--------->-------->Mehndi Hai Rachnay Wali sung by Alka Yagnik<-------<---------
In my best Wedding songs review I don?t know how I missed this song. The perfect Mehndi song and with Rehman the composer it become a gem. You would never ever had this kind of beautiful song in this category before. Alka?s singing is really smashed every barrier. This is again a strong point in the album.
------------>--------------->So Gae Hain Chorus Version<-------------<-------------
Again a bit more sad version of the first song with the wonderful chorus it is on the top. Lata gi molds her voice more gloomy. That doesn?t affect the quality of song but increases its urge to listen more.
Every single song is a special one. The best of Rehman bcaz the more he went for the melody the more he becomes loveable. I cannot able to forget the album evergreen album.
After all this description you decide on your own that is it a loser one or a good one. I certainly recommend the album just go for it.
Thankz
It?s Sana
