The Academy award Winner A.R Rahman disappointed his fans with the music of Yash Chopra’s much anticipated film Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Slating himself to a long break from mainstream Bollywood music, the man again lent his brilliance to Raanjhanaa. Very unlikely to be a Rahman composition, the music yet again lacks a soul stirring capability which made him a maverick once! Technically it is both brilliant and fine but the midas touch of the musician is strikingly missing.

I note this more as a fan and less as a critic. For someone who has closely followed his work for years, the distinct upbeat moments are fewer in this album. However, generally it is still Rahman and by default way above general affairs of mainstream music, but not memorable or as spirited as many of his lesser known better works!
