As much as I'm liking the album, here are some further observations that are small complaints:
- When Sonu starts singing his part in Chiggy Wiggy, I wish the rhythm section would have had a bit more thump and oomph with dholaks....just seems a bit lacking here in terms of rhythm accents. I feel heavier rhythm accents during Sonu's part would have created a better impact. Suresh Kumar in the previous review made a good point that perhaps Rahman wanted to preserve the hip hop nature of the song more than the Bhangra style. - At the end of Rehnuma, when Sonu and Shreya are singing to a crescendo, there is quite a bit of loudness in the instrumentation that is drowning their voices a bit. I will admit that portion could have been mixed better, something I did not pay attention to much before. I did not find this issue much elsewhere in the album. - I miss AR's stringed chords in Yaar Mila. I feel that at certain sections in the song, adding some basic string chords to the melody could have added more beauty....was expecting such an addition. He does that very well in other songs.....has a basic melody, and later when the melody is repeated, he adds stringed chords to create a different effect (He did that at the end of Jiya Se Jiya (Rahman singing version)).
