Music review - ARRahman's YUVA

[vivek]

Guys!



The audio of YUVA the new Mani Ratnam movie shot simultaneosly in Tamil and Hindi is on stands. The music rocks big time and i thought Rahman's Meenaxi was a show.



The first number is the best - with Rahman shouting O YuvaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAA(high pitch) aaaaa (low)aaaaaa(lower)aaahhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh..is brilliant.



The second number 'Anjana' - has a cristal clear redention by a new singer. The song varies from rock style to mild vocal with a natural touch ( i am sure what i mean by this!)



The third number is more Indian. Rahman joins here too!



The fourth number is of the alternate under ground Talvin Singh type. One of those London Underground DJs pet scratch music. Not for Rahman afans, but ya will be a hit in ..well..London Underground music lovers fraternity..if you will! Blazee give some rap touch to it. OK type



The next number has Adnan Sami and Alka Yagnik with a usual Hindi filmy sound. Guess this rather slow song will grow on you when you listen to it with Pakodas and Beer in a pleasant evening!



The last number is Fana, with Rahman going Fanaaaaaa Fanaaa. Its one of those fast tempo Trance type (not trance though). Music for your car.



Frankly, this time Rahman has not done that which he always does to Mani Ratnam movies. Rahman pathbreaking music is surely missing in this new movie. That 'Dil Se' or' Bombay' tempo is missing.



Remember Dil Se Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....what as masterpiece...thats not here.



However, for Rahman fans, Yuva rocks!



Tamil guys, buy YUVA along with its Tamil Version. Telugu guys, wel you guys anyway get dubbed versions of any and everything.



Have fun

Rahman's music grows as you rightly pointed out. Yuva is a let-down for me keeping in view what a Ratnam-Rahman combo achieves.
