Tu Bin Bataye

….this song from Rang De Basanti is currently running in loops in my playlist. Wow! What a fantastic song! The lyric is great - subtle and soothing. The tempo is amazing and Madhushree has maintained it throughout the song. There is no assemblage of too many instruments and that makes the song pleasant and sweet – a treat for people who adore easy-listening. Naresh Iyer who has given the male voice has done a marvelous job too. Kudos to A.R. Rehman. He makes a deadly combination with Aamir – Why not? Geniuses collaborate to produce some sensational results.

tu bin bataye mujhe le chal kaheen

jahan tu muskuraye meri manzil wahin

Hmm..sounds lovely and still lingers in my mind. I guess repeated hearing of this song would make a romantically challenged person like me to become a poet :)
