Rehna Tu - Delhi 6

Playback - A.R. Rahman, Benny Dayal & Tanvi

Music - A.R. Rahman

Lyrics - Prasoon Joshi

How many times do we like people the way they are?
I guess.. not too often. There will always be that tiny little thing that you might want to change in a person which according to you would be for the better.

Rehna tu.. in my opinion, is a beautiful song which appreciates the person for what they are..

The music of this song is simple but outstanding! Kudos to A.R. Rahman who is totally in action.. winner of a lot of awards for Slumdog Millionaire which is the biggest rage of recent times.

Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu, Thoda Sa Dard Tu, Thoda Sukun
Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu..
Dheema Dheema Jhonka, Ya Phir Junoon
Thoda Sa Resham, Tu Humdam Thoda Sa Khurdura
Kabhi Daud Jaye, Ya Lad Jaye, Ya Khushboo Se Bhara

A little good, a little bad
A little sweet, a little sour
I like you just the way you are!

Which reminds me of another fantastic song by Timbaland (I Like You Just The Way You Are)..

Tujhe Badalna Na Chahoon, Rati Bhar Bhi Sanam
Bina Sajawat Milawat, Na Jyaada Na Hi Kaam
Tuhje Chaahon Jaisa Hai Tu

I don't want to change you at all.. not even as much as a pinch of sand..
No frills, no fancy stuff..
Not much, not little..
I like you just the way you are!

Mujhe Teree Barish Mein Beegna Hai Ghuljana Hai
Tujhe Chaahon Jaisa Hai Tu
Mujhe Tere Lapat Mein Jalna Rakh Ho Jana Hai

Tu Zakham De Agar, Marham Bhi Aakar Tu Lagaaye
Zakham Mein Bhi Mujhko Pyaar Aaye

Sometimes, when you like someone, even the pain is like joy.. I wonder...

Dariya O Dariya, Doobne De Mujhe Dariya
Doobne De Mujhe Dariya
Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu, Thoda Sa Dard Tu, Thoda Sukun
Rehna Tu, Hai Jaisa Tu..
Dheema Dheema Jhonka, Ya Phir Junoon

If you pay attention to the flute music which ends the song - it will take you back to a music piece from the film Swades .. I guess that's A.R.Rahman signature style for you :)
Simple song, sweet lyrics, I like it just the way it is.. Rehna Tu is a sure winner..and I can't wait to watch the film.. looks differently nice.. hopefully, this one will make it big for AB Junior..
My reco : Must listen here.

Nice reviews, I never knew that you listen to such good music, btw, tht Flute part is played by a very able musician called Naveen. He is a staple at all Rahman recordings and concerts.

Would follow your blog keenly for further song reviews.
