Comments – This is a pretty good example of Pilu. But the Interludes take liberties with the rag. This itself is rather interesting, because it seems to me that many of the songs of this period took the opposite approach. The song itself took liberties, but the the interludes stuck pretty close to the rag. One example which sticks in my mind is the treatment of Kalavati in “Na To Karavan Ki Talash Hai”

Comments – Decolam (Formica) is shinny and beautiful on the outside, but the moment you scratch down beneath the surface, you realise that there is nothing underneath it of strength or value. A.R. Rahman’s music is decolam music.
A. R. Rahman is one of the most brilliant arrangers on the planet. But there is a difference between a composer and an arranger. When you dig through Rahman’s brilliant and lush arrangements to examine the underlying composition, things usually disappear in a puff of smoke. One finds basic compositions which are disjointed and shallow. There is almost never anything that could be construed to be a rag.
When I first encountered this song, there was initial excitement. I thought that he had finally come up with something that had depth. Unfortunately it very quickly collapsed into a careless pastiche of a kathak performance.
