Kochadaiiyaan music review: AR Rahman brings out his best for Rajinikanth!

Rajnikanth, AR Rahman

Music: AR Rahman

Lyrics: Mehboob, Irshad Kamil and Raqueeb Alam

Singers: Raihanna, Arijit Singh, Jonita Gandhi, Javed Ali, Shashaa Tirupathi, Karthik, Shreya Ghoshal, Raghav Mathurs, AR Rahman and  the Kochadaiiyaan Ensemble

Rajinikanth’s latest film Kochadaiiyaan sees him being directed by his daughter, Soundarya R Ashwin. The film has been in the making for almost six years after which it is now finally ready for release. First time in India a film has been made using the motion capture technology. The film has Deepika Padukone paired opposite the Superstar.  Will this AR Rahman-Rajinikanth combination be able to create ripples in the music world or not? Let us find out in the song by song music review.
Aye jawaan: Sung by AR Rahman and Raihanna, this is an anthemic song. This song has a bit of an eerie feel to it and will surely grow onto you. The lyrics by Mehboob motivate you a lot as a listener.

Dil chaspiyan: Sung by Arijit Singh and Jonita Gandhi, this is a sweet romantic duet. Written by Irshad Kamil, this song is soft and breezy. The way in which Rahman manages to blend western instrumentation in a typical Indian Classical melody is par excellence. This duet reminds you of the initial days of Rahman in the music world when he used to give similar heartwarming melodies. This track is definitely a marvelous one and will surely touch a chord with all the romantics.
