Rahman San(ah)g AnotheR lacklustre song

While the title track of Mohenjo Daro was the longest song in the film (a fact I didn’t mention), Tu Hai was at the other end of the spectrum – it was just three minutes and 59 seconds long.

Sanah Moidutty’s rendition must have prompted the listeners to exclaim, “Tu hai (You are) one of the voices of tomorrow”.

After all, she salvaged a track, which wasn’t just composed, but also rendered by none other than A R Rahman.

Maybe the fact that it was an intense romantic number worked against it.

Javed Akhtar penned it.

It waS a mere ABeRration

No one expected the music of Mohenjo Daro, which released in 2016, to create history, but it certainly wasn't expected to fare as poorly as it did either.

Of course, every composer has at least one dud in his discography, but A R Rahman appeared to have grabbed the albatross (read: Mohenjo Mohenjo, the film’s title track, which was six minutes and 22 seconds long) and put it around his neck.

He didn’t just compose it, but also rendered it.

Arijit, Bela Shende and Sanah Moidutty shared Sing(h)ing credits with him.

Javed Akhtar penned it.
