I also was surprised at the Rehna Tu. Though I had already read in this
list that this song was to be on father Rishi and Son Abhishek, which
was not exactly how the characters were related in the film, but it was
parallel enough. Rishi being Abhishek's mom's silent lover 25 year ago
can be considered like father to him.
The lyrics seems quite odd at places conveying a much greater intimacy
than is possible between two persons who had never met till then in
their life. Firstly, it was not clear where Abhishek was thinking of
changing, which might have prompted Rishi to suggest him not to change.
But all that, Mujhe Teri Barish Mein Bheegna Ghul Jana, Mujhe Teri Lapat
Mein Jalna, Raakh Ho Jana, appear strikingly odd for a father-son
relationship. In India, whatever be the friendship and understanding and
belongingness between a father and a son, this relation is always a
serious one. So, these figures of speech don't go well.
All that "Tu Zakhm De agar, Zakhm pe bhi mujhko pyar aaye, dariya o
dariya doobne de mujhe dariya mein" sound so odd. there is no occassion
of Abhishek hurting Rishi, while doobna in dariya is more a concept
between lovers than between a father and son.
I find this song more suitable for a friend motivating a friend.
There are echo of lyrics in the song, that could be counted as an
effect, but at around 4:40, I find some female voice also joining, that
was unexplainable on the Rishi - Abhishek.
And whatever prasoon tried to explain in that "haath thaam chalna ho, to
dono ke daye hath sang kaise, ek daya hoga, ek baya hoga, tham le, hath
ye tham le, chalna sang tham le." that went above my head. Even Mehboob,
PK Mishra's such explanations sounded much more short and natural. Even
Javed Akhtar's such explanations are more directly related. Could anyone
explain plz.
You spelled it absolutely right. It would have been better if the song's
tone was changed from between two males to from a male to a female and
that was Abhishek singing (may be in background) for Sonam character in
the film who was under a lot of pressure in the film to change. or, a in
female voice it could have been Sonam's idol finale song for Abhishek
when he was under a lot of confusion and pressure.

It only proves that most of film directors are just not capable of
visualizing proper placement and piturization of ARR's more subtle songs.
The ending 2 min musical piece in this song appears so soothing - like
when ARR was giving separate instrumental pieces in albums.
