Personally I find Rising songs to have more soul than Ah Aah!!! Reasons: a) You can feel the effort gone into each and every song, unlike Ah Aah numbers (which i think would have been done by ARR's arrangers - Pravin maybe..)
b) I think once in a while ARR and his team are "allowed" :) to come up with music which has genX appeal - maynot be musically great or would lack melody etc.. the recall won't be there..but then its for GenX as I said earlier. E.g. Boys (good songs!!) vs. KalaiDinnamum / Hum hai iss pal.. you know given a choice which one you'd want to listen to any day.. :) The key differentiator I guess is the target audience..of the two movie's songs...it is segmented and positioned well. However..the Rising songs are something which will be always linger.... The Rising high points: 1. Sukhwinder stands out!!! <more than Kher- he scores on the "dha na na na" alaap> 2. Dekho Aayi Holi - what a number:really brings out the joy of the festival..!! I think we are going to see this number used more often in dance sequences, singing contests etc.. Udit sounds simply great.. so does srini.. 3. Takkey Takkey - will potentially become a children fav - just like "ye taara, wo taara.." 4. Mangal (aatma) : Halla Bol!! I can guess this will be the song of the movie...as in the song which has the best picturisation in the movie. The above and many more are just my opinion!! Please do not take it in any other way..
