When Rehman tunes are dubbed to Hindi, many of them had lost their fate....Puthiyamukham (Vishwavidhatha) and Rhythm(lakeer) are a few among those, which didn't get much attention later
Rehman is the son of a Malayalam music director R.K. Shekhar. He just begin his career in the Malayalam industry, death took him. So Rehman's family shifted from Palakkad Kerala to Chennai.
His first movie was Roja.
You will be surprised to know he gave his second one to a Malayalam movie in 1992 named Yodha, Mohan lal and Madhu bala. Sangeeth Sivan is the director.
Hearing its songs no one can believe it's done by Rehman since instruments used are just classical ones.
One funny song of competition between Mohan lal and Jagathy Sreekumar is there. Just check it.
Really funny! You will love it, definitely!!!

I am a Rehamn fan too. His songs are evergreen and are loved by the young and the old. He is one music director who never goes wrong with his tunes ;) :)
Songs of lakeer are directly taken from 2000 hit, Rhythm.
That year, he had 3 hits in Tamil .......Alaippayuthe, (later taken as Saathiya), Rhythm and Kandukondein Kandukondein......a beautiful film, where Aishwarya and Tabu acted as sisters. Shankar Mahadevan got National award for best singer for the first time for this film.
Although these 3 were huge musical hits, you will be surprised to know that songs of Rhythm were more hit than Alaippayuthe that year. But in Hindi Lakeer was not successful as Saathiya. Isn't it?
Reason I feel ......bad lyrics, bad picturisation and of course bad singing also. Words were not catchy as Tamil songs. Rhythm has 5 songs indicating panch bhoot......Air, water, earth, wind.....it was the most important factor.
Also Shankar mahadevan gave his life to this particular water song, even in it's picturisation.....Thaniye means,.......hey water
It was the top hit of year 2000 and it's the best song of Shanker Mahadevan in Tamil
