  vaa vaa pakkam va , poo malai , adukku malligai what songs man fron thangamagan. I am wondering if ARR fans r all hindi people or people suffering from insomnia (forgot songs before 95).... Very surprising to see them comparing a joker with the genius (THE IR).

  bab songs;
  
  >>the hey hey in the first song ( thaivam endru...)doesnt look very strong as it is intended to be. WOuld have been BEst suited for S.P Balasubramaniyam... Hey Hey that the singer shouts at the end of every charanam .. looks as if he is ona mattu vandi trying to ottufy the madu
  ( sorry for the Thinglish)
  S.P.Balu would have been the right guy with right voice effect and solid content in the voice.

  Dipu Dipu is a cool number. mixing up the light and jolly mood of the music with the heavy philosofical meaning in the lyrics.may be better understood in the movie
  ----
  Kichu kichu is a very sweet number..reena has done a wonderful job.Manisha can now be tagged to reena's voice for any future release.This is not really a S.P Balu's Song. But he never dissapoints..

  ARR should be kicked out of the film industry.... he is bringing a bad name to TALLIVAR..... ARR is such a BASTA**, should be kicked out and clobbered till he apologises that such a thing will not happen again in his career....

  Baba review from Idlebrain.com
  
  
  
  
  Audio Review - Baba
  
  Name: Baba (2002)
  Cast: Rajnikath, Manisha Koirala
  Music Director: AR Rehman
  Recorded & Distributed by: Aditya
  Director: Suresh Krishna & Producer: Lotus Films
  
  Audio review of Baba - Songs are a drop, movie might be an ocean (of sermons)
  
  - Sreya Sunil

  It's not just the Tamil audiences who look forward to Rajnikanth's movies with
  heightened curiosity. Equally eager Telugu movie buffs also await the
  superstar's movies with enthusiasm. Rajnikanth, who was last seen as the
  invincible Narasimha who snubs his archrival Neelambari (played to perfection
  by Ramya Krishna) now returns as a saintly 'Baba' with a sole ambition of
  cleaning the corruption and evil of the society by carrying out a catharsis.
  
  Suresh Krishna, who earlier directed Rajni's Baasha, wields the megaphone again
  while AR Rahman composes music for the third time for a Rajni movie after Muthu
  and Narasimha. Manisha Koirala is paired up with Rajni while Ramya Krishna and
  Sanghavi, supposedly have important cameos in the movie. Lyrics for the Tamil
  version are penned by renowned lyricist Vairamuthu and Vaali while the lyrics
  for the Telugu version are all handled singly by Siva Ganesh who does an
  excellent job of translating the essence with the same punch and finesse. The
  lyrics in this album are way too good compared to the lyrics in some of the
  recent dubbed movies.
  
  AR Rahman, India's most popular music director, may not have delivered an extra
  ordinary score for Baba but his choice of singers and his orchestration is a
  par above excellence. As is the case with most of Rahman's songs, some of the
  songs of this movie grow on you on repeated hearing. Some might become popular
  after the movie releases and some of them will even stand out as the evergreen
  hits of Rahman. The common point in all (not just almost, but all) the songs is
  a pertinent dosage of sermons wherever and whenever possible. Baba boasts of a
  very powerful punch line among the recent times for a movie made on this side
  of the Vindhyas, which goes - 'Known is a drop. Unknown is an ocean!' After
  listening to the songs, one starts wondering - 'Songs are a drop, movie might
  be an ocean (of sermons)'
  
  1. Baba Theme Music (Listen)
  A truly haunting musical masterpiece by Rahman, which sets a perfect mood for
  the powerful thoughts and ideologies discussed in the other songs of this
  album. Srinivas sings this one beautifully imparting the charm of a divine
  chanting to it. This theme song talks primarily about 'ekam' (one and only
  one), like there's just one God (irrespective of the faith you follow), just
  one language (of love towards fellow human beings), just one aim/ambition (of
  maintaining harmony) and finally it's just the chittamaananda poornam (total
  bliss in which the soul shines) that helps us attain salvation.
  
  2. Tippu Tippu (Listen)
  This song draws an interesting analogy between life and cinema. Just like the
  way movies typically last for three hours; life has three important stages -
  sisuvu praayam (childhood), paduchu praayam (adulthood) and musali praayam (old
  age). Though it's an average song (tune wise) with a Punjabi folk song flavor
  to it, it is Shankar Mahadevan's singing and beautiful lyrics by Siva Ganesh,
  where he talks about the things-done and things-to-be-done in these three
  stages of life very well that make this one worth listening to.
  
  3. Baba … Neeku Mokkuta (Listen)
  This song is about a 'bhama' enticing the 'baba' by calling him 'bava'. Manisha
  repeats her act of seducing the hero after Magadheera song of Oke Okkadu. SPB
  and Sadhana Sargam add proper spice to this typical 'girl-acts-guy-reacts' song
  where the girl pleads with the guy for his love and at the same time also
  suggests some 'appropriate' changes he ought to undergo to be a better person
  (a typical girl-act!) and the guy is no less in reacting -'crib or cringe, me
  no change!' (this is a typical guy-act too!!)
  
  4. Maya Maya (Listen)
  Another sermonizing song, which talks about being unattached to anything and
  everything in life. This beat-based song describes all the things in life as
  'maaya' (deceit) and 'chaaya' (a shadow - which remains with us always but is
  of no use to us). Udit Narayan, who began singing songs in languages alien to
  him with Rahman's 'Andamaina prema raani' of Premikudu, sings this one in his
  usual ishtyle (ahem! No comments about his 'ishtyle'). Sujatha who joins him
  for the last charanam impresses us with a beautiful rendition. If the guy sings
  'patti pattanattu ga, undi lenattu ga undu' the girl says 'patti rasapattuga
  nuvvu nato jataga undu'. This one's bound to climb the charts slowly due to the
  presence of some obvious mass-attracting elements. May be Udit Narayan's voice
  is one of that.
  
  5. Rajyama (Listen)
  Most likely this is a background song talking about the trials, tribulations
  and the teachings of Baba and how he has transformed from a non-believer to a
  staunch believer in God. Though it starts off with an uninteresting high pitch,
  the charanams in the song are set to a good tune. Jaya Chandran, who sang the
  popular 'Anaganaga Akasam Vundi' song in Nuvve Kavali, sings this one perfectly.
  
  6. Sakti Nivvu (Listen)
  Mesmerizing, moving and motivating! A high-energy song about seeking energy
  from God to face any obstacle with courage. Again, Sai Ganesh's words thrust a
  force on us and Karthik renders the song with a punch. While you get to hear
  some invigorating words like 'tallivi neeve tandrivi neeve! pranavamu neeve
  praanamu neeve!' (You are the mother, you are the father. You are the creator
  of life and you are reason for life), you also get to hear some of Rajni's
  contradicting thoughts about his entry (?) into politics like 'Ne bratikedi mee
  korakey vidichi ne ponu! Gaddelanu, middelanu ne korukonu!' (I desire neither
  thrones nor palaces. I live only for you [people] and I shall never desert
  you). Rahman sets such powerful lyrics to a riveting tune that shall
  reverberate in our hearts for a long time to come.

  Rajini did not go to IR ever for Baba. ARR was always the first choice. In vikatan this is what which came out. ARR called Rajini to congratulate on announcing Baba and offered to do the movie. Only losers will go to IR.
