Lyrically the best songs are Paathshala, with its funny, clever, urban Hinglish poetry that serves as the lyrics, and the tense, brooding ballad of rebellion, Khoon Chala. What variety, and what a vast canvas of emotions captured through different songs on just one album! Rehman has given the song a simple, slow melody which, coupled with Lata's plaintive vocals, serves to heighten the simple, unconditional love of a mother.Īctually the real hero of RDB is the poet in India's top ad film maker, Prasoon Joshi. The way she emotes the sweet simple love and anxiety of a mother in Luka Chuppi is quite remarkable. Even at her age, the melodious nightingale continues to serve music lovers with her melodious voice.

Which brings us to another good track on RDB - Lata Mangeshkar and Rehman's Luka Chuppi. A very average melody nothing great overall. The most popular song of RGB, to my mind, is bound to be Paathshala.īut Khalbali by Rehman, Aslam and Nacim sounds like an average youth anthem. Prasoon Joshi excels in the fun lyrics that could well be the idiom of the College youth of today, and that's a high point of the song.

The best combination of music and lyrics is the hummable and well written Paathshala, sung quite well by Naresh Iyer and Mohammed Aslam. But somehow, Chitra's very thin and near nasal voice just doesn't belong on this song alongside Daler's rasping, earthy and powerful voice, and that's the only slight letdown. And the overall feel of the bhangra-based song is quite earthy. Because one always expects marvellous stuff from Rehman for title tracks - remember Roja, for instance? RDB track has a fairly hummable composition, and the music arrangement is tight as ever, though a bit too synthetic. Even if you don't understand the meaning of the prayer, listen to it with your eyes shut and your heart open, and you will find serene peace!īut the title track, Rang De Basanti, while competent, still leaves you wanting something more. Harshdeep Kaur's 1 minute 26 second rendition of Ik Onkar is truly an apt opener for the musical album of Rang De Basanti. The story of six young Indians who assist an English woman to film a documentary on the freedom fighters from their past, and the events that lead them to relive the long-forgotten saga of freedom.Rang De Basanti (RDB) is certainly not Rehman's best work - not by a long stretch, but Rehman has only himself to blame, what with the high standards he sets for everyone -and that includes himself.īut the album sure opens brilliantly! After ages one's got to savour something from the Sikhs' holy prayer, the venerated Japji Sahab, in a Hindi film. O Nanak! By obeying, the pre-ordained order of the Lord’s will. Hukam rajaa-ee chalnaa naanak likhi-aa naal. How can we be true and how can the screen of untruth be rent? Kiv sachi-aaraa ho-ee-ai kiv koorhai tutai paal. Man may possess thousands and lacs of wits, but not even one (goes with him) avails him in the Lord’s court. Sehas si-aanpaa lakh hoh taa ik naa chalai naal. The hunger of the hungry departs not, even though they may pile up loads of the world’s valuables. Sochai soch naa hov-a-ee jay sochee lakh vaar.īy pondering on God, man cannot have a conception of Him, even though he may ponder over lacs of times.Ĭhupai chup naa hov-a-ee jay laa-i rahaa liv taar.Įven though one be silent and remains absorbed in Lord’s constant love he obtains not mind’s silence.īhukhi-aa bhukh naa utree jay bannaa puree-aa bhaar. True He is even now and True He verily, shall be, O Nanak!
