You know i listen to all songs and that too multiple times. All songs which you have mentioned, i have heard and some of the lyrics are completely known to me. lets go point by point -1) ae hairaten aashiqui for me is just a decent song. I have heard similar sounding songs from ARR in many previous movies. That song has nothing new to offer in terms of music of arrangements.2) In JA, the man mohana song is again decent. It is a bhajan and has its limitations but if you see his works like Radha Kaise na jaale then it is no where in comparison. Even the bhajan from Lagaan, O Palanhare was a far more soothing composition3) Sarfaroshi from Bhagat singh, I do like a lot but i prefer mera rang de, when I saw the song in the album, i had a particular tune and song in mind but when i heard his version, i thought it was very different. He kept is more soft and Sonu's vocals took the song to another level.4) In Swades - I did not like yeh tara at all. Pal Pal hai bhari was very good. But the best song of the movie for me was 'Dekho na' and i thought Alka sang beautifully. Even the song Yuhi chala chal was a good track which starts as an average track and gets better as it goes along.The songs which he has given - Choti si asha, Dil Se re, CHaiyan Chiyan, Tu hi re, Chanda re chanda re, hai rama yeh, urvashi urvashi etc etc. Tell me which song of his in the recent past can touch those levels. Do you think that JA, JTYJN, Mangal Pandey, Guru, One two ka four, are any where close to these ??? Even Saathiya, Lagaan & RDB are close but still not what it used to be.
