Rahmanâs âJaage Hainâ; Guruâs delight Faridoon Shahryar, IndiaGlitz [Saturday, December 02, 2006] A R Rahman has done it again. His superlative brilliance in the soundtrack of âGuruâ is a revelation for the music lovers. Be it âBarso Reâ where Aishwarya is dancing like a dream under the canopy of blue sky, âAe Hairathe Aashiquiâ or âTere Binaâ Rahman gems are a collectorâs delight. But the song that leaves you speechless has to be âJaage Hainâ. For itâs not merely a song but a state of mind. A stream of sub-consciousness that flows unabated invoking the spiritual side of your personality that stays dormant. Chitra starts off the proceedings in a slow sedate manner as her vocals unleash the magic with little or no accompaniment in the background. AR joins her in the whispering mode pleading for some sleep for he has remained awake for most part of the night anyways. And then he shifts gears magnificently and touches the highest contours of magnificence. There are layers of meanings in this song. Itâs about human life where happiness is a brief episode in the general drama of pain. âJaage Hainâ is one song that catapults Rahman to the level of greatest maestros or artistes who delivered much more than mere entertainment through their art. Rahman magic flows like an impassioned river determined to embrace the sea of timelessness.
