Rahman’s solo was the longest

Not only did A R Rahman compose Rihaayi De, but he was the man who rendered it as well.

And if the subject of the previous post was the shortest song on the soundtrack of Mimi, this song was the longest – it was half-a-dozen minutes and five seconds long.

The title of the song – which was written by Amitabh Bhattacharya – seemed to be the collective plea of people the world over, because they have been confined to their homes for the better part of the last 18 months – it could be translated to, “Release me”.
