Answer for Background Score - 8

This piece is from Rang De Basanti. Rang De Basanti background score is one of the best of A.R.Rahman in the recent past. This piece is the main theme of the movie. It is a very simple and haunting Piano melody. It is used throughout the movie at many places, especially in the scenes where they show Sue's Grand Father in the past. The solo violin version comes when Aamir cries in Sue's room, after the rally for Madhavan. The orchestral version comes when Ram Prasad Bismil gets arrested by the police.

Background Score - 8

Guess the Movie.



Here is the Answer

Anbendra Mazhayilae

'Anbendra Mazahiyilae' from Minsara Kanavu will always be there in my top 10 favourites of Rahman. I still wonder how the National Award committee selected Chitra as best female playback singer for 'Ooh la la la' over Anuradha Sriram, who has given a soulful and exquisite rendition for this song. Here, you can listen the instrumental version of the song used for background score. Now that we know the movie, how about guessing the scenes for which this piece is used.

An Amazing video on Hollywood Scores

This is one of the most unforgettble videos I have ever seen on Youtube. I watch it atleast once in a month. John williams compiled the best background scores in the history of Cinema into a single concert piece and performed it live in academy awards. The genius of John Williams is evident in the way he has connected all those brilliant pieces togather. I get goosepumps especially when John Williams makes his own Jaws theme as counter point to the Bernard Hermann's Psycho theme. Is anything of this sort possible for Indian Cinema? May be a Illayaraja can make a compilation from his own scores.
