You must have certainly not heard lines like 'Chu-se Chu-se life ki manle' – courtesy Prasoon Joshi. 'Hey Kala Bandar' is a song with crazy lyrics.
This maybe one of those tailor made intro tracks in the film – wait till you watch it onscreen. The title track 'Dilli 6 ' by Blaaze, Benny Dayal, Vivienne Pocha, Tanvi Shah and Claire is average.
Kudos to the vocal gang for imitating that earthy village diction so well The electronic groove after the first few minutes takes one by surprise – instantly making you bob your head. Rekha Bhardwaj's sings the generic wedding track 'Genda Phool' and is cleverly backed by Shraddha Pandit and Sujata Mazumdar. Shreya's vocals might be hard to identify at first, that's because it has been mixed keeping in mind the era in which the original was recorded.
According to the movie trailer which showed Sonam singing doing Riyaaz, this possibly seems like a requirement of the script. 'Bhor Bhaye' is based on the raaga Gujari Todi and it's interesting the way the old track of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan was reworked with Shreya Ghoshal's vocals on it. 'Tumre Bhavan Mein' sung by Rekha Bharadwaj, Kishori Gowariker, Shraddha Pandit and Sujata Mazumdar is an enchanting 'aarti' with minimal arrangements – a welcome change. We have heard Rahman deliver similar tracks with much assurance, for example 'Piya Haji Ali' (Fiza), 'O Palan Hare' (Lagaan) and 'Khwaja mere Khwaja' (Jodha-Akbar). Arziyan is most likely done for a Dargah setting There cannot be anybody else other that Rahman doing justice to the sufi genre – probably, because Rahman has been living a sufi life himself. The album brings us two devotional numbers – the Sufi 'Arziyan' and 'Tumre Bhavan Mein'. Here's the bottom line – simply add Dilli 6 to your collection with your eyes closed and make merry. Undoubtedly, Rahman delivers what is expected – anything more than this will sound jaded. In Dilli 6, Rahman teams up with Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra – do you remember the enchanting score of Rang de Basanti? Well, Dilli 6 has an equally colourful footing on sufi, pop, hip-hop, classical, devotional and folk genres.
