Songs Rangeela

I just could not wait to get my hands rather ears on the audio CD, i bought the other day.
Looking at the CD cover, I could not envision the type of music I was going to listen.
The outer cover showed a very romantic snap of the lead pair and the inner cover showed a more tense and serious picture.

The album starts with "Chand Sifarish" rendered by Shaan (one of my fav singers) with backing vocals by Kailash Kher (of "Allah ke Bhande" fame). This song is the one that is heard in the trailers. Its a song that is very melodious and is rather lilting.

The second song is "Mere Haath Mein" sung by Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan has a "kashmiri" effect similar to the previous songs. It also has Aamir and Kajol pitching in some shayari as well.

The third song is "Des Rangeela" appreciably rendered by Mahalakshmi Iyer ( one of my current favs). I personally was not impressed by this song and feel that the music directors should not have used our National Anthem to end the song.

The fourth song is my no:1 of the album "Dekho Na", a duet by Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan. The song is so melodious that I fell in love with it the first time I heard it.

The next song is "Chanda Chamke" which has quite a number of tongue twisters musically presented. The highlight of the song is that the singers (Babul Supriyo, Mahalakshmi Iyer and Master Akshay Bhagwat) have done it so effortlessly.

The instrumental theme follows next and is aptly termed "Destroyed in Love" (meaning Fanaa).

The last but not in anyways the least is the DJ Aqueel's remix of "Chand Sifarish" termed "Fanaa For You". I loved the remix version as well.

My rating of the songs

1. Dekho Na
2. Chand Sifarish and Fanaa for you
3. Mere Haath Mein
4. Chanda Chamke
5. Theme
6. Des Rangeela

In short, music of "Fanaa for me" .
