Rahat Fateh Ali Khan

‘Rabba’

Singer: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan

Album – Main Aurr Mrs Khanna

Composers: Sajid-Wajid

‘Rabba’ is one of the more disappointing songs that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has done for Bollywood. It is sadly, entirely forgettable. Despite the fact that Rahat is reported to have broken down while recording this song, it doesn’t have any emotional depth. Instead, ‘Rabba’ just passes off as an average love song that even Rahat’s great vocals can do nothing for. I thought Rahat’s weakest song this year had to be ‘Ajj Din Chadheya’ from the Love Aaj Kal soundtrack, but ‘Rabba’ makes the former sound like a stroke of genius.

Verdict: Forgettable. Can we have another ‘Mann Ki Lagan’ please?
