Music Director: A.R. Rahman Lyricist: Gulzar Rating: When a movie has A.R. Rahman as the composer and Gulzar as lyricist along with Mani Ratnam the director, it is for sure going to create magic. In "Raavan", the trio has brought a combination presenting a soundtrack that is fresh, high on energy and in tune with the soul of the movie. the movie starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, "Raavan" has six songs. The album starts with "Beera" that describes Abhishek's character in the film. With strong congo beats and foot-tapping rhythm, the song instantly connects with the listener and is highly intriguing. Sung by Vijay Prakash, Mustafa Kutoane and Keerthi Sagathia, "Beera" is truly enthralling. Next is "Behene de". The song has been beautifully crooned by Karthik and Mohammed Irfan, it is the best song of the album. Even though it has a 50-second-long and haunting prelude, the listener doesn't lose interest. The prelude creates more inertest to the listeners as to what is in store. Changing the mood of the album is the next song called "Thok de killi". Sukhwinder Singh takes the ong to the different level with his magical voice. The track is loud, rustic and impressive. There is an increased pace and rise in the tempo towards the end. Then there is "Ranjha ranjha", which is an track belted out by Rekha Bhradwaj and Javed Ali. Up next is "Khilli re", a slow, soft love song that brings out the longing of a woman for her lover. Sung by Reena Bhardwaj in her sweet melodious voice, it has a balmy effect and the melody strikes a chord with the listener. The wedding song "Kata kata" also has the thumping beats and strong orchestration. The song is sung by Ila Arun, Sapna Awasthi and Kunal Ganjawala, the track has a celebratory tune and a Rajasthani folk touch. On the whole, the album is a musical treat and impresses thoroughly. Away from the usual psychedelic beats and run -of-the-mill compositions, the music of "Raavan" shows that Rahman is truly a maestro and when he teams up with Gulzar and Mani Ratnam, the result is pure magic. http://movies.indiainfo.com/raavan-music-review-1235011.html -- - Regards ~ ~ A.R.Rajib ~ ~
