Fiza proves a key point I have been aching to state of late; in the long-run, it takes creative, unique and situational lyrics in tandem with pleasant music to make a Classic Soundtrack. Anu Malik, A.R. Rahman and "long-time no hear" Ranjit Barot are three of our best music directors. That fact is indisputable. But to make any of their individual scores immemorable, they also need the complement of great lyricists. (Can you ever forget Rangeela or Kareeb?) The vast disparity in song quality between Fiza's different tunes is ample proof of my assertion.
A.R. Rahman and Shaukat Ali should share the gloriy that is "Piya Haji Ali" with all of Bollywood. The Arabic tune meets Taal style music is fine.
