Ghajini 6
Delhi 6. This may be the first time that every song
in Rahman's album is being compared to some other
song that he had previously composed. This doesn't
make it any less enjoyable, or indicate redundancy
even. If anything, it is indicative of his
brilliance. But, don't take my word for it, I am huge
fan of remixes, and the idea of creating variations
of the same song even (Chaiyya Chaiyya vs. Thayya
Thayya, for instance). Rahman has done it for years
and every time i recognize an element from some other
song in a new one, repurposed so ingeniously, I have
a thrilling AHA moment! Then again, if one relates
one song to another, it is not always because htey
are exact replicas. They may both bring out the same
emotion, and may have the same characteristics of
form and style, but this can only mean that they fall
under the same genre, but are not necessarily alike.
People who agree with me will also agree that not all
Beatles songs sound the same, even though you may sit
in a car and listen to a Beatles song for the first
time and recognize it as theirs by the style! The
Arziyan song in Delhi 6 is therefore not the same as
the Khwaaja song in Jodhaa Akbar.
So here is one recent AHA moment. The songs are Delhi 6 from Delhi 6 and Aye Bachchu fro Ghajini. (In this case the similarity is quite obvious, so it wasn't AHA as much as AAA)
