[@Sudarshansridhar]

ARR became punjabi when he composed "Rang de basanthi" title song. Those dhol beats with visual gave right impact. Another example is "Mard Maratha " from Sachin A Billion Dreams - The marthi beat elevated the song to the Everest. Something always a question mark is how a music director can imagine the situation and has to incorporate those beats which require lot of nativity , creativity , expression with instruments etc.. and selecting a best vocalist for the song. ARR never fails in making directors imagination to reality with his music. Only God knows how his mind thinks. The way Rakeys ji narrating the situation in this episode after a decade of music release is kind of difficult. Imagine ARR situation when everything was in air i.e movie is undergoing and his thought process of understanding the situations and putting them back in composition. Its really a great idea of O2india making this series. Really appreciate the work

He never said others copied. Rather he said many in the country were doing great stuff and mine sounded monotonous so had to redefine his identity. So pls remove that tag on the video. That's inappropriate interpretation not right to say so.. ARR is known for his humility and respect to music. He would never comment others.

Dear Mr. Arif. You have a point here. But the fact remains... Oscars have their own set of rules. And they are entitled to frame them. A film from India will always be in the catagory of 'Foreign language film'. Yes, if the Producer & Director is an American/ British (Like Gandhi, Slumdog Millionairre) then yes. Let's hope.

[@anantha1201]

Why I rave so much about ARR and be his evergreen fan is because of this album too! On one level he composes heavy musicals like Taal, Rangeela and with films like RDB, Delhi6, Guru he totally goes off on the opposite tangent and still delivers way more remarkable and meaningful soundtracks despite not sounding anything like main stream Bollywood film music. He made everyone hum these songs inspite of their inspired unconventionalism. I think it's after this album as he explained he changed the way he sounded even with certain repeat Bgm sounds. I now remember that it's around this time that he completely changed the way he sounded since his debut as there's always one particular haunting bgm track that's seen in most of his songs till then. Though I very much loved that just one thing (that haunting Bgm) so much but as he explained the reasons we can't help but invite the transforming new sounds in his music which are more rustic and real, in tune with the changing tastes of the audiences and the way the films made are evolving to be more real. In a way, he's also responsible for removing that filmy feel to his own music and inspired others too which was very much a part of music and movies till then. But overall, this sound track is one of the most challenging and complicated (given its sounding and the sheer variety of songs in the album Plus it has to combine freedom fighters patriotism with youth frustration till that point and still should be hummable like Humma Humma type songs). I thought such a highly challenging album should take years but ARR just took 2 weeks to finish all the songs is the icing on the cake 🎂 thing here. Usually every album can be of one type genre but RDB songs had almost every genre covered and made it so self-styled songs for the youth that even today it didn't lose its fervour. P S: There's so much to go on writing but I try so hard to stop here and lastly thanks 🙏 for mentioning one of my fav singers K S Chithra too in the series here for the first time.)

But couple of things puzzled me. 7:44 ROM mentions using Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to sing the title song, but he died in 1997 but Rang De Basanti was released in 2006. Or did he actually mean Rahat Fateh Ali Khan? Later he mentions something about unavailability of Internet. Again hard to believe, as Internet was widely available in these years (2005-2006).

I have a strong feeling the composer that made ARR to changed his style is Harris Jayaraj 😂😂😂. He was following ARR style if music too much during the early 2000s that people started thinking it was ARR that did the music for the movies Harris scored. And yes, it was pretty obvious that RDB album that changed the 90s music style ARR had till Mangal Pandey.

[@anantha1201]

Yes, you are spot on. Totally agree with you. Even I felt Rahman has changed his a unique Bgm sound in the background because of Haris and partly Mani Sharma in Telugu songs too used his type of Bgms that we used to really wonder had they done or was it ARR! Please read my original comment here as I mentioned in detail about that. Thanks!

[@hareneishnadhar]

@@anantha1201 read it brother. Well written. Yes, I had the same feeling too and now when ARR openly said he did change because of other composers trying to sound like him so we can confirm this.

[@anantha1201]

@@hareneishnadhar Thanks brother. Ya, he said this in another interview also but both the composers had actually worked with him when they are upcoming. So obviously, they will have that ARR impact on them. But as we all know, ARR is someone who always looks for original inspirations and keeps moving away from his own impact time to time. And that's why he couldn't bore us really till date!

@@anantha1201 yes indeed brother! That's what I always tell to Harris fans but they will say it's the other way round 🤣. They say Harris is the one THAT created those bgms/arrangements for ARR. I know ARR does give freedom for his musicians to add in their own creativity in his songs but that '90s' music style is definitely from ARR and these composers adapted it from ARR since they worked with him. And very true, if you notice, ARR changes his music style, loop samples every 3 years. 1992-1994 has one style, 1995-1998 another, 1999 till 2002 another style and so on. I know it's very selfish of me to say this but I really do hope ARR does his 90s music style just for one album atleast. Miss that touch from him.

I can't comprehend one thing, Rakesh Mehra is saying firstly they wanted Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to sing the title song of Rang De Basanti but they could not get access to reach to him but Nusrat ji was died way back in 1997. Kindly someone explain.

[@O2india]

Dear Mr. Thind... Thak you for watching. RDB was in the making for almost 10 years... may be Nusrat saheb's name was discussed at a perticular moment. He also mentioned that the song was turning out to be too rounded... may be it was recorded in some singer's voice which didn't work. It's a production process. We had the option of leaving it out, still kept it... as we found it to be too important to be left out. After all Mr. mehra was recalling something that happened 15 years ago...

And Daler Paaji did full justice. I am sure that ARR must have really felt enthused! And also added a new rustic touch to his music, thanks to Rakesh and Daler Paaji!! Great going Umesh!

[@ricardojohnson3584]

[@aakaashnair]

Please do proper research. Rakeysh Mehra decided to make RDB (2006) after Aks (2001) and even if he spent 10 years on pre-production (which he didn't) it doesn't make sense when he says he considered Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan saab (who passed away in 1997) for the title track. Rahman was approached to compose for RDB only after Mangal Pandey (2005) and Bombay Dreams (2002-2004) as he himself mentions. So either Rakesh Mehra is a time traveller or he genuinely made a mistake & meant to say Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, who coincidentally debuted in Bollywood around the same time in Paap (2003).
