A Class Apart Guru This album is one of A.R.Rahman's best so far, and the reasons are many. Each songs is treated in a unique way and grows on you. The rich orchestration and beat cycles are par excellence and the use of voices and harmony is amazing. One does not expect anything less than magic when Rahman and Gulzar team up, and the album lives up to the expectations. The track Tere Bina has a Sufi touch. The influence of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is evident in the chorus Dum Dara Dum Dara. Rahman's voice, which has matured from his Maa Tujhe Salaam days, is poignant. Noted composer Bappi Lahiri has sung the track Ek Lo Ek Muft, which suits his voice to the T. Mayya is a dance number influenced by Turkish music. But the real clincher is the duet Ay Hairathe, sung by Hariharan and Alka Yagnik. The music arrangement is worth emulating and the use of accordion is reminiscent of the old times. Baazi Laga is a fast-paced song featuring Rahman's favourites Udit Narayan and Madhushree. The last track, Jaage hain, sounds like a lullaby, but the rich choral ensemble is worth listening to. Rahman's fans and music lovers alike will surely thank him for this Christmas present. S. Sahaya Ranjit India Today December 25, 2006.
