  Challa (Ring) Jab tak hai jaan OST Singer : Rabbi Shergill Music : AR Rahman Lyrics : Gulzar MY RATING : 9/10   Reflections What happens when an underrated masterpiece alloys itself with the greatest wonders of the world?  MAGIC!  That is exactly what has happened here... Rabbi Shergil, one of the most underrated Indian singer who had his chances but could only gather a distinctive fan base, not the mass as others from his land (My fingers point at overrated ones like Daler Mehndi, Mika and the likes who can only sing about women & alcohol). Rabbi came into the Indian scene with his Golden 'Bulla ki jaana' back in mid 2000s. However, he disappeared somewhere towards the end of the decade and now suddenly he flashes with a boom in an AR RAHMAN-GULZAR musical that happens to be a YASH CHOPRA - SRK Romance ! How much more could anyone ask for? Well to talk about the track, its a pacy one with Punjabi Sufiana lyrics penned by Gulzar Saahab. The song picks up

Tum Jo Mil gaye ho Movie : Haste Zakhma Singer : Mohammed Rafi MY RATING : 9.5/10       REFLECTIONS Haunting! That would be the one word which shall appease my mind the moment this song plays somewhere around me... Rafiji's scintillating silk (read voice) penetrates in the most viscous manner into the heart... creating a strange nostalgia which I cannot explain... probably because I wasn't born at the time this song was made (well... born 16 years later)... It's a very special song and has a enigmatic romance to it... And it has that feel... a cloudy... rainy... long drive kinda feel... Dedicated to someone really special...       LYRICS (English Translation)   Tum jo mil gaye ho, to ye lagataa hain ke jahaan mil gayaa yek bhatake huye raahee ko, kaarawaan mil gayaa That I've got you... I feel that I got the world! These aimless paths have finally found a destiny... Baithho naa door hum se, dekho khafaa naa ho kismat se mil gaye ho, mi

ஓமான பெண்ணே / ഓമന പെണ്ണെ/ Omana Penne  (Darling Girl) Singers : Benny Dayal, Kalyani Menon | Malayalam Lyrics : Kalyani Menon My Rating - 9.8/10 Reflections Whoaaaaa!...........Rahman.....u r impossible!....................no..no....this is no negative remark...rather a remark of FASCINATION......coz...thats what one would feel after listening to this marvel of a ballad!.....OMANA PENNE boasts of vocals from BENNY DAYAL and a lil cameo by KALYANI MENON who has penned down the malayalam part for this song.......Its absolutely....unmissable...even if you don't understand Tamil or Malayalam....forget that fact...go for this track....listen to it once...and you'll automtically listen to it again...your ears will play that track throughout the day....and might even haunt you in your dreams.... Whats more perfect? Rahman's composition....Kalyani's lyrics...or Benny's vocals?...Rahman deserves unprecedented credits....but I don't think stripping off Benny
