“CHALLA”: Okay a lot has been said about this song and most of it is true. This one is more of rabbi and less of Rahman and almost nil of Gulzar. And Shahrukh khan with a guitar doesn’t help it either. But it is hell catchy a tune – no doubt about that. Right from the opening guitar portions which are superb (falsely alleged by some to be a rip off), this one will be loved by rabbi fans. He sings in his customary style with a bit of besuraapan at places which is now being accepted without much ado (Just as in the case of Atif aslam). Rahman does make sure he puts his customary styled music in between, like that yuvvraaj – ish chorus before the 2 nd antara. Overall it did take quite a few listenings but now I like this one. Definitely not brilliant, but good nonetheless. “JIYA RE”: Six years, Rahman roped in the group VIVA to sing a song in the film “Lakeer”. Now he gets Aasma girl Neeti mohan to croon this one. CLEARLY this one will be picturized on Anushka Shar...
