Mangal Mangal (all 3 versions) are brilliant. Main Vari Vari, I didnt know what to make of this song at first, but I really appreciated it on the second listening and then it got stuck in my head.
Holi re, to me, is abit of a mess, too much is going on in the song, in terms of instruments and vocals, you can understand y rahman did that because holi is such an energetic song, there is something stopping me from truely enjoying the song. and the reused loop from chand aya hai-dil hi dil mein didnt do the song much justice. rasiya is another okay song, i think it will grow on me, but it is decent. takey takey is a song which i truely dispise, i think its stupid and sticks out like a sore thumb on this album, and it didnt like the reuse of the intro from saaiyan from nayak. al maddath maula is a very good song, and i instantly loved it. the rising is a good album, and as usual its better than the usual nonsense that is out on the market (but its the nonsense which ends up selling more). the problem i am having is that all the rahman albums since boys have seemed in some way disappointing, though some grew on me like aayitha ezhuthu, i felt as if rahman's heart was not in making the album, he seems more happy composing background scores, but unfortunately we cannot go out and by bgm's. anyways that was my 2 cents on the album This August, Discover the Birth of Your Independence and The Magic of A.R.Rahman's Music in Mangal Pandey - The Rising http://www.risingthefilm.com http://www.mangalpandeythefilm.com Music released: Jul 14, 2005 Movie releases: Aug 12, 2005 Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.
