I agree Gomzy, that there was a lot of innocence in the tracks but they were fairly simple compositions. Little or no layers to the music and I don't want to take anything away from SEL for that because that was probably what Aamir asked them for - simple innocent music. I think the simplicity of the tunes and the storyline along with the lyrics apealed to ppl's emotions. In contrast to Rahman's music where the music does 90% of the soul stirring (it certainly does for me at least). If SEL used the same tunes in a different movie with a different story line etc, I don't think it would have made an impact. I don't want to make this a bash-Taare-Zameen-Par thread cos it's not a bad soundtrack at all but I was only trying to give my personal opinion on the difference between Rahman's music and everyone else's. The music talks for itself. He could reuse all his tunes in a completely different movie (and in a different context) and people will still fall in love with them just like they were hearing it for the first time.
