Music review: Rang de Basanti

After being fed on a diet of songs by Pakistani artistes(many of them quite good), here is an Album that is truly indian in flavor.
A.R. Rehman has come up with a wonderful album againThe Title Track, though with punjabi beats, sounds fresh.
'Tu Bin bataye' is wonderfuly haunting, this one reminded me of Enya's 'May it be' from LOTR.
The soft 'Khoon Chala' and 'Luka Chupi' are nice as well.
Rehman experiments with 'Lalkar' an inspirational chant.'Khalbali' which sounds like an Arabic number, is decent but not upto the mark.
However, the crowning glory of the album is definitely 'Rubaroo' and the more popular and peppy 'Paath Shaala'.
"talli hoke girane se, sikhi humne gravity...." go the lyrics of PaathShaala

Neat album overall :)
