We all know his greatest songs- Delhi 6, Jai Ho, Dil Se, Taal


But what are some of his most under rated gems according to yo? I have to say, these past few months I've discovered SO many amazing songs by ARR which flew under the radar when they released but are actually masterpieces in their own right.

Rahman is so phenomenally talented but the trick is to let the song grow on you a little. Unfortunately in this time of 'Hook lines' and 'Beyonce sharma jayegi' we dont have the patience to let a song breathe.


Great examples :


What a song!! Dreamy, cool and jazzy. Absolutely love it

Didnt like this much but it grew on me super fast. A different kind of beat but very smooth!

This song is the best one on the Delhi 6 album according to me

https://youtu.be/w7lNCCSFowk This song is not as appreciated as Kun Faya Kun. I think it is the best song from that album.

Nice choices but Zara Zara is by Harris Jayaraj.

It was his first album and a damn good one at that :)

Nahin Saamne from Taal

Dil Ka Rishta from Yuvraaj has insane orchestration and symphony IMO

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na - Sukhwinder's version - terrific title track

Mann Chandre Nu - some original soundtrack of an album

Hossanna

Kya Kare Kya Na Kare from Rangeela

Behka from Ghajini

Rehna Tu from Delhi 6 - used to be one of the most played songs on my playlist at one point
