Even though the Cheliyaa soundtrack marks 25 years of director Mani Ratnam and composer A. R. Rahman’s legendary collaboration in cinema, this award-winning pair haven’t stopped surprising audiences. Switching from the mellifluous to the melancholic in “Allei Allei” and “Maimarupaa”, Rahman pumps up the Punjabi pop on “Hamsaro” before delivering adrenaline-charging electro energy on “Jugni”. Continuing the stylistic medley, the Oscar® winner shows his mastery of classic Indian folk on “Morethukochindhi” and adds a lavish, dramatic flourish to “Tango Kalalo”—each distinctive track adding to the film's emotional impact.
