Mr Rahman ARoused patriotic feelings

Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera, the title track of Swades, is the sort of song that is unlikely to be named even by ARdent fans of Rahman (or the film) as a song worth playing on loop. Yet, once it grows on the listeners, it was a universal favourite.

He did not just compose the song, which was penned by Javed Akhtar and was six minutes and 28 seconds long, but also rendered it.

Needless to say, he was able to play both the roles to perfection (which wasn’t a surprise, because he is gifted).
