And that’s where A.R. Rahman quietly takes over.
When the first single Aawaara Angaara released, it barely hinted at the scale of what Rahman had in store. But now that the film is out, the complete nine-track album reveals what the single was always leading towards: some of Rahman’s most evocative work this year.
Netizens weigh in
Listeners across social media seem unified in their praise, even those who weren’t sold on the movie itself. One X user wrote, “The best song for me from TERE ISHK MEIN is AWARA ANGARA….. The specific reason is the LYRICS that works big time and will stay with audience for a LONG period, specially ANTARA…. What a year for Faheem Abdulla, great composition by ARR…. The song reminds me of BANJAR HAI SAB BANJAR HAI from SAATHIYAA…..” Another listener shared:“I’ve been reading Murakami’s The City and Its Uncertain Walls with the Tere Ishk Mein soundtrack looping in the background. It has been unreal. The book’s melancholic plot pairs perfectly with ARR’s score. Didn’t expect them to sync this well, but they absolutely do!”
