Musicians pick their favourite Rahman composition A R Rahman is up for three Oscars for Slumdog Millionaire. We asked B-town musicians to pick their favourite Rahman composition. Shibani Kashyap, composer and singer of Sajnaa Aa Bhi Ja fame cannot pick one. "I love Bombay, Guru and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na's songs. The song Chhoti si Aasha from Roja is my favourite too because it is so sincere, fresh and innocent," she says.
Shekhar, of the duo, Vishal and Shekhar loves Tu Hi Re from Bombay. "I have heard Tu Hi Re at least a million times and I am totally in love with the beautiful song," he says. Shilpa Rao of Khuda Jaane fame picks Dil Se. She says, "The album was beautiful and par excellence. I especially love the title track sung by Rahman Saab." Rekha Bhardwaj who has recently collaborated with Rahman Saab on Delhi 6 picks Delhi 6's marvelous soundtrack. "I think Dilli 6 is an amazing album and the title track and Kaala Bander are my favourite tracks," says Rekha. Suzie Q, singer and composer who collaborated with Rahman on Aye Bachchu from Ghajini, says, "Taal, Ghajini, Roja and Slumdog Millionaire are my favourite albums. Latika's theme is so mesmerizing, infectious and addictive. It sticks in your head all day long." Raju Singh, background score specialist and composer for Raaz-The Mystery Continues says Bombay is his favourite Rahman album. "Tu Hi Re was such a contrast from Humma Humma while the Bombay theme was classical. I don't think it was intentional, but the album had a lot of variety in it and covered a wide range of music. The way every song's situation was handled made it a complete package. I also loved Maa Tujhe Salaam." http://www.starboxoffice.com/oscars/newsdetails.aspx?xfile=2009/January/News_20090127_213
