Music of Guru rocks! A. R. Rahman has given a wonderful score. Hope they look better on screen. I heard this movie is based on Dhirubhai Ambani. How come then he has twins?

Hairathe Aashiqui....is a beautiful song

all the songs sounded amazing after you've had a drag or two or more.....

Ek Lo Ek Muft greeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat...

rahman rocks again!!!!after a long time we find rahman coming out of his hip hop western tunes and delivering some really medolious tunes...aye hariythe and tere bina r true masterpieces.....take over u in just the first go...this one is really a collector's edition.....long live arr!!!!!!!!!!

Very Nice songs. Once again they proved , Mani & Ar Rahman is good combination

Rahman at his best....this is a collector's item

Maaya Maaya is rocking me.

BeSt EVER. Hats off to both Legends :)

peace

Nice review. I have reviewed the album on my blog too (http://mohankaus.blogspot.com/). Slightly different take on what you've provided above. I am yet to see the melodic/rhythmic/arrangement beauty that you've seen in "ek lo ek muft" and "baazi laga".

Rehman has his best for Mani....

Long live the combo...

GREAT ALBUM, LONG LIVE AR RAHMAN,HE IS AMAZING.

Great Composition..
I wont say New all the way..but Rahman was really trying something new
Shreya Ghoshal was wonderful

i love AR RAHMAN songs this is no difference

AR Rahman simply amazing... the first two songs of Guru are excellent...you can just listen to it over and over and over and over.

Oh and btw, whoever reviewed this, the previous movie before this for which Mani Ratnam and ARR teamed up was yuva.

That's correct and exactly what I wrote:

"Mani Ratnam, A R Rahman and Gulzar - when they came together last time, they created 'Dil Se'...

A R Rahman has always reserved his best for Mani Ratnam - be it Roja, Bombay, Dil Se, Saathiya or Yuva."

Probably you missed out Gulzar in my first sentence :)

HEY U ALL RAHMAN FANS,
MUST BE EAGERLY WAITING FOR SOMETHING NEW,EXCITING AND SOULFUL MUSIC OF A R RAHMAN

IN GURU.
I WAS,
AS THERE IS NO GOOD MUSIC SCORE DONE BY A R RAHMAN SINCE THE TIME OF saathiya.
BEFOR 12-13 YEARS I WAS THRILLED TO HEAR THE SOULFUL MUSIC OF ROJA.
THEN IT WAS THE TURN OF bombay-dil se-yuva.........
MASMERISING MUSIC, GREAT BEATS AND UNBELIEVABLE FUSION OF INDO WESTERN CREAM.
but this time trio of mani ratnam-a r rahman-gulzar are not up to their mark.
we had expected better music from rahman.........
but guru is nowhere near his talent,ability and originality in GURU.
DEAR RAHMAN, I WAS READY TO BECOME EVEN A PEON OR A JAADUWALA IN UR MUSIC STUDIO.....DUE TO UR EXTRAORDINARY MUSIC TALENT..........
BUT SAME AS SACHIN TENDULKAR OR MAHENDRA DHONI, U R OUT OF FORM NOW A DAYS........
Do u remember the melodious compositions of ROJA, BOMBAY, OR DIL SE?? WELL IT WAS MAGIC RAHMAN AND MANI RATNAM. BUT IF U EXPECT SAME FROM GURU TOO, THAN MY DEAR FRIENDS, U WD B DISAPPOINTED. THERE IS NOTHING EXTRA/SPECIAL IN IT.
SONG jaage hai der tak is nice blend of indo western symphony. But don’t u agree with me that the symphony is heard somewhere before?! Other wise the pain and depth of rahman’s voice is mesmerizing……….no doubt, the best song of the album.
Do u remember the foot stepping beats of "COLLEGE KE SAATHI" from Dunia Dilwaloki? OR CHORI PE CHORI from SAATHIYA?? Baazi lagaa is just like the remix or refreshed version of that beats, with better lyrics from gulzar. Sweetness of udit’s voice makes the song somewhat melodious. May be the song is going with some situation of the storyline. Sudden change of track is rahman’s old habit in songs. It was experimented in many songs before also.
The most melodious song of the album is Heyrat-E-ashiqui due to nice composition and sweetness of alka yagnik, rahman and hariharan’s voice. But unfortunately the beats are almost same like the KEHNA HI KYA of Bombay. The lyric is the soul of this song is quite new kind of.
MAYYA is the second versions of SATRANGI RE of dil se. do u remember the style and composition of antra with husky voice…ISHK PAR ZOR NAHIN, HAI YE VO AATISH GAALIB? The style, rhythm and the beats are same, some Arabic flavors are added. Gujrati folk music is rich with variety of high pitch songs. But unfortunately rahman has mixed here ZARMAR ZARMAR VARSE MEHULO very ugly way with Arabian YA HABIBI. O dear rahman, I wanted u to work on some original Gujrati song after hearing MARO HELO SAAMBHLO JI in background music of BOMBAY….
Chor-Chor was very innovative experiment by rahman before 10 years. But the lyrics of HAATHI MERE PYAARE SAATHI were very stupid. Now in GURU same beats are used in ek lo ek muft , but with different lyricist and singer. Improved version of HAATHI MERE SAATHI by all mean. But doesn’t sound new…… Afghani music instrument Rabab was played very nicely in telephone dhun. Same is used in this song. But we must be thankful to rahman for bhappida’s come back as a singer. We were missing him since long. Well come back bhappida.
One album was scored for a film of Minakshi sheshadri and a south Indian MOTU by rahman. The lyrics were very funny and stupid LIKE "DILKA RAJA MERA RAJAA MOTE RAJAA, PYARE BALAM LAGTA HAI TU RASGULLE SA"
In that album, so it was the biggest flop of those days. So the beats of that movie album is recycled by rahman in BARSO RE MEGHA … in guru. VAA VAAYANE VAADAL UMATYAA is itself

very nice folk song of Gujrati, but only one small piece is used here.
The most highlighted song dam Tara dam Tara it self is a remix version of JIYA JALE JAA JALE……..from dil se and KEHNA HI KYA from BOMBAY. MELODIOUS, BUT NOTHING NEW IN IT. Problem with rahman fans like us is: if rahman sings ABCDEFG, we would appreciate.
So dear rahman, please sing or compose ABCDEFG better way next time…. Love u, appreciate u very much dear. U are NOT ONE song WONDER like Jatin Lalit, RESHAMIYA OR ANU MALIK, but the only MUSIC COMPOSER OF THE NATION TODAY. SO WE EXPECT SOMETHING NEW AND INNOVATIVE EVERYTIME.
