Roja Janeman, Roja: The song that gives goosebumps is SP Balasubramanium’s stirring rendition of Roja Janeman conveying the isolation and yearning of the hero against Sujatha Mohan’s haunting trill.

Aye Ajnabi, Dil Se: Rahman's composition from Dil Se renders it pristine, pensive and poetic.

Agar Tum Saath Ho, Tamasha: This track wonderfully captures the emotions of the couple-- Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone - in the film.

Khuda Hafiz, Yuva: The song is a surreal, showy and quirky offering from the eclectic Yuva album.

Kehna Hi Kya, Bombay: Rahman hits out of the ballpark with his alaap that elevates Kehna hi kya to another level.
