It was the honesty and the emotion in his voice that made the whole difference. But what really stood out was Narayan’s voice. But if we break the tune down into elements, there would primarily be five: Udit Narayan’s voice, Manisha Koirala’s reluctance, Shah Rukh Khan’s intensity, AR Rahman’s flawless music, the lyrics of the song. I had never heard a song that was so moving that it literally tore up hearts that weren’t even in mourning. I had never before heard a song dedicated to longing that had this much sincerity to it. And while everyone was agog by the sheer ingenuity of Chaiyyaan Chaiyyaan, the dark horse of this movie was the ballad E Ajnabi. It is soulful, it is touching, it is heartwarming, it is tragic, and it is memorable. I have always believed that Dil Se has one of the most hauntingly beautiful official soundtracks in Indian cinema.
