"This is your Mother calling. This is enough. I am getting tensed. Be done with your hide and seek and be back."
The worry is intense even if a mother needs to tell this when her son is somewhere near itself. What if the son hears it from another world? And also, not being able to answer the call!
So difficlut to carry over the peak of worry and sorrow from a mother's heart to the audience's ones. Rahman has made it the maximum possible by a human being with Neelambari raaga flowing through. It's the beauty of the raga being hit with the simplest notes transitions which flows from the mother's heart to our souls. Rahman has proved it's not the complexity of a song musically which makes the feeling powerful. It is a high chance He got inspred from Irayimman Thampy's famous Malayalam lullaby 'Omanathinkal Kidavo' which is in the same raaga and decided to make Luka Chupi another lullaby, one being sung when the mom got the child and the latter when she lost the child.
Lullaby is sung to make the kid sleep calm. That's what Rahman has made possible with the legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar's motherly voice. At the other end, the child has to be innocent to enjoy this and sleep good. I doubt there is one more sample of equally innocent voice as A R Rahman's one itself in the world. The song is born with these two magical voices and is heavenly!
Innocence in music comes into play successfully when performed by amatuers, not by experts. But Lataji sounds so, holding sceintific techniques hidden in herself. Rahman gets transformed himself as her son and sings back his wish to be back with his Mom. The son has everything right there in the heaven , even more beautiful. But feeling lonely and void in the absence of his Mom.
Neither Lataji nor Rahman has sung any 'gamakas'/'brigas' ( things showcasing expertise in classical music singing style) anywhere in the song. Simple it be, beautiful it be, hearty it be and it is.
Not much of heavy orchestration. A soothing accoustic guitar chord, simple tabla beats in the back, expertly mixed voices with a little reverb, classical swaras presented in the simplest possible pattern, the 4X4 rhythm beauty lives in our hearts all the day, all the night till we are here on earth.
A song born with some quality no person can tell 'I have heard it once today, lets switch to the next one'.
There is only one song in my walkman which hasn't ever been skipped yet. Hasn't ever been.
Luka Chupi Bahut Hui!
Anything for Rahman
Gopikrishnan!
