Padakali is one of the toughest songs to sing that I’ve ever come across. Yeah, hard to believe, isn’t it? It doesn’t show in the final track, not by a bit. The song was sung by Minmini at a time when she had gone through problems with her voice (that would eventually force her to quit singing before her 2015 comeback), and so, Rahman recorded her word by word and then edited it all together to form the complete piece. Pacha Kili Paadum – Karuthamma (1994)ĪR Rahman did the impossible here and made the cock-a-doodle-doo of a chicken melodious, playing it alongside his addictive beat. There’s an undertone of sadness here, and it’s kept at that, giving this song the scope of subtle interpretations. AR Rahman offers a calming piece with Rasathi, the many hums speaking to your soul with their fullness. This song is all acapella – not a single instrument was used during its creation. I love the way the music glides in this number, it feels very refreshing to listen to and has a tranquil sense about it, making it effective in its communication of emotions. This is one of AR’s more atmospheric numbers, sung with the background of pouring rain, evoking a sense of wetness by itself. The accompanying video with the train-dancing is the cherry on top. No wonder Chaiyya Chaiyya became the iconic wonder it is.

It’s also the kind of composition that you hum when your brain’s turned off – the tune is just that catchy. I find that, other than my nostalgic connections to it, this song has such a danceable flow of music to it that makes it memorable. This song is part of my childhood, like a good number of AR Rahman’s ’90s works. AR likes to experiment with various kinds of music, and this is probably his best approach to Indian Classical as of yet. The ups and downs of this song stand out and are worthy of a mention in how striking they are. En Veetu Thottathil – Gentleman (1993)Įn Veetu Thottathil is a classical romantic song, and I find myself indulging in its lyrical perfection as if it were a personal experience.

It makes me feel really good, both Rahman’s and Lataji’s voices echo in the hollows of my mind as and when I listen to this stunning piece. The entire Rang De Basanti album is very well made, but this song is on another level of excellence. One of Lata Mangeshkar’s last great songs (as of yet), Luka Chuppi was a grower for me. It’s pretty uplifting a tune, and Mohit Chauhan sings this very well. This film has a lot of good songs, but I think the one under discussion here stands out because of the attachment I have to it. Jo Bhi Main – Rockstar (2011)įor Rockstar, AR Rahman experimented with soft and hard rock, and Jo Bhi Main is an example of the former. Lovely song to listen to when it’s raining out. Hariharan’s rendition of Javed Akhtar’s soulful lyrics is magnificent on its own, but with AR’s music, it achieves a level of beauty paralleled only by the simplicity of the piece. Dheemi Dheemi – Earth (1998)ĭheemi Dheemi is a song in which the lyrics really stand out. The accompanying video here is quite pleasing, visually. This one continues to play in dance clubs all over the country. Sexy, seductive, and cool, Konjam Nilavu’s build to the ‘Chandralekha’ lyric is one of the most iconic in Indian film music history. This is one of AR Rahman’s early tracks that shook the country and became instantly popular. Hariharan’s voice is pretty much perfection here, and the instruments have been used in a way that makes them noticeable rather than remain in the background. This is one of AR Rahman’s more unconventional numbers, but it’s just as good as what he’s mostly known for.
