Dilli 6

Maverick Rehman is on a dream run this year, After winning the Golden Globe for Slumdog Millionaire, he is at his creative best once again with Dilli 6.For me Dilli 6 is  one of his finest work till date. The album is a artistic amalgamation of various music form and amazingly diverse soundtracks.Each and every song in Dehli-6 upholds the high standards Rahman has set for himself.WIth Prasoon Joshi`s smashing lyrics, the song "Masakalli" is a song which grabs you by the ear right away with the sweet accordion sounds of the keyboard and soft percussion.While “Genda Phool” is a beautifull adaptation of traditional fokesong from UP and Bihar, mixed with the techno beats of Hip-Hop.
The song "Bhor Bhayee" is an old thumri by Ustad Bade Gulam Ali Khan sabah, sung almost four decades ago  based on raag Gujri Todi. The song sung by Shreya where her  voice has been  juxtaposed with Ustad Saahib. Its song like this which can create a interest of the new generation in Indian Classical Music.
I strongly recommend a must listen for this album.

Camerawork (Binod Pradhan, Rang De Basanti) matches the city’s dynamism and is as delightfully chaotic as its subject. Sound by Nakul Kamte is fantastic. Art Direction is marvelous.

But the 'REAL STAR' is the soul-stirring music by AR Rahman, lending the film its very essence.

Delhi 6 is like a great song you want to like anxiously. But only, it's distorted for being played decibels too loud.

As described by Director:

This, for one, is not something that’ll excite the viewer who has already felt the city’s vibe and visited it in recent films – Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, Dev D and the like.

Yes, this is Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s autobiographical vision, but it has lost that edge of being the first one to give us a penetrating darshan of the city.

Next: a young American coming to local city, saying `awesome’ and observing from a distance, falling for the girl next door, getting embroiled in local issues despite himself was seen in Swades. It’s a cliche that most protagonists who visit their home country must inevitably follow in our movies.

Is Sanjeev and Manjeet listening?
Can we all go and watch this movie about our own 'Saddi Dilli' courtsey SR and MY?
Can AT and SKS organize?

'Mere Maula'is a great song, which I rate as the best in this album

Wonderful Lyrics:
Arziyan saari Main , chehre pe likh ke Laaya hoon
tumse kya maangoon Main, tum khud hi samajh lo..oooo

Ya Maula.. Maula Maula Mere maula..
Maulaaaaa…

Maula Maula Maulaa Mere Maula…-2
Maula Maula Maulaa Maula… -2
Darare Darare Hai Mathey Pe Maula
Marammat Muqaddar ki kardo Maula
Mere Maula….
Tere dar pe jhuka hun mitha hun Bana hun -2
Marammat Muqaddar ki kardo Maula -2

Jo bhi Tere Dar aaya..Jhukne Jo Sar aaya
Mastiyan Peeye Sabko..Jhoomta Nazar aaya.. -2
Pyaas Leke Aaya tha..Dariya Woh bhar Laya..
Noor ki Baarish Main bheegta sa tar aaya..
Noor ki Baarish Main Oooo
Noor ki Baarish Main bheegta sa tar aaya..

Maula Maula Maulaa Mere Maula…-2
Maula Maula Maulaa Maula… -2
Darare Darare Hai Mathey Pe Maula
Marammat Muqaddar ki kardo Maula
Mere Maula….

Jo bhi Tere Dar aaya..Jhukne Jo Sar aaya
Mastiyan Peeye Sabko..Jhoomta Nazar aaya.. -2

Ooo ek khushboo aati thi -2
Main Bhatkta Jaata Tha
Reshmi Si Maaya Thi
Aur Mein Takta Jaata Tha
Jab Teri Gali Aayaa, Sach Kabhi Nazar Aayaa -2
Mujhme Hi woh Khushboo Thi, Jise Tune Milwaaya

Maula Maula Maulaa Mere Maula…-2
Maula Maula Maulaa Maula… -2
Darare Darare Hai Mathey Pe Maula
Marammat Muqaddar ki kardo Maula
Mere Maula….

Tootke Bhikharna Mujhko, Zaroor Aata hai -2
Varna Ibaadatwaala Shaur Aata Hai
Sajde Mein Rehne Do Ab Kahin Na Jaaongaa -2
Ab Jo Tumne Thukraaya To Sawar Na Paaongaa

Maula Maula Maulaa Mere Maula…-2
Maula Maula Maulaa Maula… -2
Darare Darare Hai Mathey Pe Maula
Marammat Muqaddar ki kardo Maula
Mere Maula….

Sar Udhaake Meine To Kitni Khwahishein Ki Thi
Kitne Khwaab Dekhe The Kitni Koshishein Ki Thi
Jab Tu Roobaroo Aayaa…..
Jab Tu Roobaroo Aayaa, Nazar Na Mila Paayaa
Sar Jhukaa Ke Ek Pal Mein….Oooo
Sar Jhukaa Ke Ek Pal Mein, Maine Kyaa Nahin Paaya Maula Maula Maulaa Mere Maula…-2
Maula Maula Maulaa Maula… -2

Mora Piya Ghar Aayaa, Mora Piya Ghar Ayaa -6
