Well, what can I say about this one? It is an Oscar winning Indian song after all. And who else could have done it for India other than A R Rahman? I have praised him a lot in my earlier posts as well. But now through this blog, I would like to salute him. He is in his own league. His understanding of music coupled with consistent variety is simply unparalleled.
But I would like to say something more. If this song can bring India its first Oscar, some of his previous songs from Rang De Basanti and other hits, including the marvelous movie Roja can bring the Oscar to its knees. A R Rahman has been giving out gems after gems since long and finally this song has given him the accolades and stature he rightfully deserves. After all this, I wonder what next Mr. Rahman?
