Fanaa and Raja
As I sit in my lab I can hear "Chand Sifarish Jo Karta Hamari", from Fanaa, which someone's playing somewhere down the corridor and I soon find myself singing it. I first came across this beautiful song in the closed confines of a crowded car in Bangalore. Believe it or not, that was the first full "modern" Hindi song I was hearing since Machis. I ofcourse have a huge liking for the good old Hindi songs of Rafi, Kishore, Mukesh and others but as my profile would tell you, I don't dwell much in this age....
Coming back to this song I somehow took an instant liking for this Fanaa number. It reminds me of Raja's innumerable classics. Maybe not the actual tune but the surely feel of the song. Probably the resemblence is not a surprise since Fanaa is by Jatin-Lalit. Unlike Anu Malik, the duo have been more honest about the influence of Raja on their music. Maybe someone can tell me actually which song(if any) has influenced this.

sridhar,
I liked this song too (enna padam nu mandaya pichittrundhen, inspite of the Fanaa word].
Raaja paatta resemble panradha enakku therila but thats just me...
Spot on about the 'modern Hindi song' aspect. We get very few of those....
I dont think it resembles any of Raja's songs!
