- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,June 01 2013]
Oscar winner A.R Rahman, who has composed the music and background score ÂRaanjhanaa got on board the film, having read the script loved the fact that it was rooted in Indianness.
Talking about the music of the film said the maestro, When Aanand narrated the script to me I was drawn to its Indianness. Raanjhanaa has an earthy Beneras feel to it and the music here plays a bigger role. It aims to tell a story, Adding that, It has classical and folk elements that are character driven.The film has a rustic and urbane side to it which is reflected in the music.
Composed by Rahman with lyrics by Irshad Kamil, several songs from the film including the title track Raanjhanaa and Tum Tak have already gone on to catch listeners attention, but the makers promise thereÂs much more to come with a track titled Freedom also sung by Rabbi.
Freedom song is a contemporary track about the character in Urbane delhi .. IÂve sung it with Rabbi Shergill, added Rahman.
Eros InternationalÂs ÂRaanjhanaa directed by Aanand L Rai, starring Dhanush , Sonam Kapoor and Abhay Deol is scheduled to release 21st June 2013.
