Delhi - 6…music by a creative genius at his peak
I still haven’t recovered from the haunting experience last night. I heard the original soundtrack of all the songs from Delhi- 6, the newest Bollywood stuff to have landed these days. Every song number is a masterpiece. It captures the essence of the shot sequence with a song and sound blend that comes across alive in all its original glory. Remove the dialogue and still you can make out what is going on just by listening to the sound. Rahman is the greatest music and sound talent to have landed in recent times. Take a look at Slumdog Millionaire. Remove the songs and the sound and replace tham with some mediocre stuff. You will see the difference. The film was such a great success only because of A. R. Rahman. We thank God for him. I had the previge of knowing intimately one of his guris in carnatic music…T.V. Gopalakrishnan.
