The beauty of RDB's music is that it fully gels with the movie while having the capacity to stand alone. So it has the added advantage of being remembered by movie buffs and music buffs. > > ARR has earlier given many a timeless songs -- if we hear Chayya Chayya, > Tu hi Rey, Kahna Hi Kya, Kal Nahin tha jo kya hai, Ye jo zindagi hai and > dozens of others even today with the same love and happiness that we > felt it when we had heard them first few times.
