Development

In June 2012, A. R. Rahman was signed on to compose songs and the background score. He agreed to compose after the script was re-written entirely in English by Rai and the former kept the script personally. [6] [7] The composition of the song "Banarasiya" was ready by September 2012 but was not recorded with a singer as Rai felt that no vocals matched with Sonam Kapoor's voice. Rai attributed the melody and beauty of the particular song to "Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai" from the 1973 film Bobby . [8] In an interview with Hindustan Times , Rahman stated that he had emphasized the folk-classical genre as the film brings out a fascination for Benaras through the music [9] and most of the songs are character-driven. The composer stated that he had used the sounds of shehnai in almost every song, thereby paying a tribute to Ustad Bismillah Khan. [10] The song 'Ay Sakhi' features Chinmayi mimicking the sound of a Shenai with her voice in the interlude portions. Whilst doing reconnaissance for the film, Rai recorded the live aarti chants for the score, however, the patch recordings were fit into a complete song titled "The Land of Shiva". Six songs were recorded by 23 November 2012. [11] The soundtrack album composition was completed by early March 2013. [12] The audio rights were acquired for a sum of ₹60 million (US$720,000). [13]

The song "Tum Tak" was called a blend of romantic and spiritual elements. The track details the passage of five years through five festivals. [14] "Tu Mun Shudi" is a contemporary track sung by Rabbi Shergill and the composer himself. The song was claimed equal parts rustic (Kundan, played by Dhanush) and urbane (Jasjeet Singh Shergill/Akram, played by Abhay Deol) based on the characters. [15] Both the youth oriented songs "Humka Issaq Hua Hai" from the 1983 film Coolie and "Saamne Ye Kaun Aaya" from 1972 film Jawani Diwani were used in the background score of the film. Also the song "Saason Ki Zaroorat Hai Jaise" from 1989 film Aashiqui was used in the background in the very beginning and in the end of the film to show the importance of love in life.

The track "Tum Tak" was released as a promotional single on 6 May 2013. [16] The title track sung by Jasvinder Singh and Shiraz Uppal was released as a promotional video on 16 May 2013. [17] The third promotional track "Tu Mun Shudi" sung by A. R. Rahman and Rabbi Shergill was released on 30 May 2013. The song features Sonam Kapoor, Dhanush and Abhay Deol. [18] Furthermore, the tracks "Banarasiya" and "Piya Milenge" were released in June 2013 as video promotionals.

"After Lagaan , this is the first time I got to work on folk-classical music. The film brings out a fascination for Benaras through the music. [9] I'd rather call it a hybrid, but I guess you could call it that as well. It's got a bit of folk and classical elements and most of it is really character driven. Raanjhana's music is rustic and urbane." [15]

Reception

Critical reception

The soundtrack received positive critical reception.

Bryan Durham of The Times of India gave the album 4 out of 5 and summarized, "In totality, it also needs to be said that if Rahman's music is the language of this film, it would be quite short on a vocabulary without Irshad Kamil's beautiful lyrics." [19] Jyoti Prakash of Indian Box Office Online also gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars and said, "The music of Raanjhanaa is of supreme quality. A typical AR Rahman album which is romantic and entertaining yet pure and divine." Music Aloud critic Vipin assigned the soundtrack 8 out of 10 and noted, "A mixed bag from ARR that is more urbane than folk-classical." [20] Kaushik Ramesh of Planet Bollywood gave the album 7/10. Calling it very experimental, he said, "Be it the innovative vocal shehnai of 'Ay Sakhi' or Rabbi's attitude laden 'Tu Mun Shudi', the entire album presents immense freshness." [21] Rumnique Nannar of Bollyspice gave the album 4.5/5 stars and wrote, "Raanjhanaa is a brilliant return to form and originality for A. R. Rahman, who proves his detractors wrong with an album that captures the energy of its city and its lovestruck Raanjhana. The songs may just take time to grow on the listener, but that's the joy in it, to savour all of the arrangements and voices that add up to a terrific and rustic album for the ages." [22] Sakhayan Ghosh of The Indian Express summarized, "Irshad Kamil's lyrics provide a perfect foil to the music. And this is Rahman's finest turn since Rockstar, seeing the maestro enter exciting new musical territories." He gave the album 4 out of 5. [23] Joginder Tuteja at Movie Talkies claimed, "There were good expectations from the music of Raanjhanaa and they are pretty much met (and at places even exceeded) with A. R. Rahman, Irshad Kamil and their singers coming together well to meet the shared vision that was spearheaded by the makers." He gave the album 3.5 out of 5 and added that the music "works quite well as a packaged affair". [24] IANS gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars and observed, "Like any other album, the music of Raanjhanaa has few low points, but otherwise it is thoroughly entertaining." [19] [25] At Koimoi, critic Manohar Basu rated the album 3 on 5 and noted, "Very unlikely to be a Rahman composition, the music yet again lacks a soul stirring capability which made him a maverick once! Technically it is both brilliant and fine but the midas touch of the musician is strikingly missing." [26] The critics review board at Behindwoods called it a "joyous wonder from Rahman" and gave it 3.5 out of 5. [27]

Chart performance

The soundtrack peaked at number one in the "Top Albums" category after a week of its release on iTunes India. [28] It was ranked at top position on Mirchi Top 20 charts. [29]
