Rekha sang some outstanding (A)lines

Ranjha Ranjha was truly an exquisite song. In fact, it was, by far, the best song on the soundtrack of Raavan, and possibly the numero uno track of the year.

The opening line of the track was an adaptation of Sufi poet Bulleh Shah's Ranjha Ranjha Kardi.

The song, which was penned by Gulzar and composed by A R Rahman, was five minutes and 54 seconds long.

It was one of the gems in the discography of Rekha Bhardwaj. She was joined behind the microphone by Javed Ali. Additional vocals were provided by Anuradha Sriram.

Karthik's rendition was undoubtedly (Ir)fantastic

On listening to Behene De, from Raavan, one can (and should) be forgiven for thinking it was a reference to A R Rahman’s creative juices.

If it were composed by anyone else, the listeners would’ve said, “Rehene De” (which can be translated to, “Let it be”).

It was the longest of the three songs from the film on this blog – it was six minutes and four seconds long.

The track, which Gulzar penned, was rendered by Karthik, who was ably supported by Mohammed Irfan, who won the reality show Jo Jeeta Wohi Super Star 2.

Mr Prakash rendered (Must)afast-paced track

Raavan was the Hindi version of the bilingual which released in 2010. Its Tamil version, titled Raavanan, released simultaneously.

Of the three songs from the film on this blog, Beera Beera was the shortest – it was three minutes and 15 seconds long.

Rendered by Vijay Prakash and Mustafa, it was (Kuto)anenergetic track.

Keerthi Sagathia was credited as an additional vocalist.

A R Rahman’s penchant for experiments showed no signs of waning, but this track, which was penned by Gulzar, was not as popular as the former’s previous songs whose titles had the same word twice.
