When a film’s plot travels around India, the music needs to move with the story too: AR Rahman

Music Articles - 25 Dec 2021

AR Rahman’s music is transportive and the maestro confesses that music must travel the way a film’s story does. The setting is integral to music.

The Oscar winning music composer was present in Mumbai recently to launch his music of Atrangi Re in an exclusive concert. Chaka Chak and Rait Zara Si have taken the Internet by storm already. Tracks like Toofan Si Kudi, Tere Rang, Tumhein Mohabbat and a flute rendition of Tere Rang too were launched at the event. The film is all set to release on OTT on December 24 and promises to be a Christmas treat.

Excited about Atrangi Re’s music, A. R. Rahman said, “When a film and its plot travels around India, the music needs to move with the story too, and mirror the moods and sentiments of the characters. Stories like Atrangi Re give us the opportunity to try out something different musically. My best wishes to the entire team: Aanand L Rai, Bhushan Kumar, Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush.”
The music album of Atrangi Re is a coming-together of greats from the music industry. A soul-stirring composition by A. R. Rahman, with soulful lyrics by Irshad Kamil, the film’s music gives us a local flavour of India and its energy – upbeat, quirky, full of zing, diverse, intense and really, really atrangi. The bevy of songs, comprising of Garda, Chakka Chak, Tere Rang, Little Little, Tumhein Mohabbat, Raith Zara Si and Toofan Si Kudi, has been sung by the best singers of the industry. Shreya Ghoshal, Arijit Singh, Daler Mehndi, Haricharan Seshadri, Hiral Viradia and Shashaa Tirupati have lent their voice to the atrangi songs. In fact, even the atrangi star Dhanush has sung 'Little Little' from the album. The Atrangi Re album will be an original album, with songs in both, Hindi as well as Tamil.
