Masakkali

Hail Rahman !!! Na, not for any of the excerpts from his Slumdog notes. Matter-of-fact: I, and most of the Indian junta, didn't find anything extraordinary in those scores. The music, I would call, was rudimentary for Rahman's skills. Had the Oscar judges heard Rahman's songs from the beginning, he would have bagged dozens of oscars by now.

But hey, here's again his music prowess in Dilli-6; have heard "Masakkali" quite a many times, and am always happy after listening to it, specially after its mellifluous blend of harmonica and bass guitar. This concoction I have never heard before and it is BEAutiful, I hope we keep getting such stuff. And yes, Mohit Chauhan is a good singer (specially at high pitch), he has sung it well, in a pun-ish tone which makes the the song hilarious. The last one of his I liked was "Tum Se He" from Jab We Met. BTW, he was the the lead singer of Silk Route, the not so Dooba Dooba Band.

Ha, am listening to the dove song even now, and am masakkali-ing.
