Hyderabad: The music of ‘Atrangi Re’ has been climbing up the music charts in the country since ‘Chaka Chak’ made its debut! Today, Atrangi Re’s ‘Rait Zara Si’, a romantic and soulful number, made its debut on the internet and has already become a crowd favourite. While ‘Chaka Chak’ and ‘Rait Zara Si’ have created quite a stir on the internet already, the stage is now set for the rest of the songs to make waves.
Upping the ante on the excitement surrounding ‘Atrangi Re’ music, the makers launched the film’s album in a grand concert by music maestro AR Rahman. Set to release on December 24 exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar, the film promises to be a Christmas treat for the family audience!
The live concert saw AR Rahman crooning to the best songs from the film. The audience had its feet tapping to ‘Toofan Si Kudi’, ‘Tere Rang’, ‘Tumhein Mohabbat’ and a flute rendition of ‘Tere Rang’. In the presence of the musical genius AR Rahman himself, the event was also attended by Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan, Bhushan Kumar, Aanand L Rai and Irshad Kamil. The interactive live concert saw fun on-stage moments between AR Rahman, Aanand L Rai, Irshad Kamil and the cast.
The music album of ‘Atrangi Re’ is a coming-together of greats from the music industry. A soul-stirring composition by AR Rahman, with soulful lyrics by Irshad Kamil, the film’s music gives us a local flavour of India and its energy – upbeat, quirky, full of zing, diverse, intense and really, really ‘atrangi’.
The movie’s songs, comprising ‘Garda’, ‘Chakka Chak’, ‘Tere Rang’, ‘Little Little’, ‘Tumhein Mohabbat’, ‘Rait Zara Si’ and ‘Toofan Si Kudi’ – have been sung by the best singers of the industry like Shreya Ghoshal, Arijit Singh, Daler Mehndi, Haricharan Seshadri, Hiral Viradia and Shashaa Tirupati. Even actor Dhanush has sung ‘Little Little’ from the album. The ‘Atrangi Re’ album will be an original album, with songs in both Hindi and Tamil.
Excited about the music launch, AR Rahman said, “When a film and its plot travel around India, the music needs to move with the story too, and mirror the moods and sentiments of the characters. Stories like ‘Atrangi Re’ give us the opportunity to try out something different musically. My best wishes to the entire team: Aanand L Rai, Bhushan Kumar, Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush.”
Speaking about the music in the film, ‘Atrangi Re’ producer Bhushan Kumar said, “The music in the film celebrates India as we know it! It is a mind-blowing composition by AR Rahman and is a perfect example of north meets south. We hope you enjoy the music in the film!”
Filmmaker Aanand L Rai commented on the music album launch and said, “One honest confession: I am very possessive about Rahman sir’s songs. If given a chance, I would have kept all the songs exclusively for myself. You feel so proud that the entire magic took place in front of you. Every song is like a different colour and in the end you see a beautiful soulful rainbow.”
Known to be the king of small-town stories, Aanand L Rai’s dream directorial venture ‘Atrangi Re’ will, once again, bring India together, through its music, story, casting and performances. The music albums of any Aanand L Rai directorial have always been celebrated to have chart-topping numbers. Aanand L Rai and AR Rahman have previously created magic with music together in movies like ‘Raanjhanaa’. And ‘Atrangi Re’ is going to be no different.
