Rasiya - Kurbaan (Cover)
Rasiya - Kurbaan (Cover) Lyrics & Chords
From the recently released Saif_Kareena starrer Kurbaan. Lyrics by Prasoon Joshi, Music by Salim-Suleiman and originally sung by Shruthi Pathak.
Am not too much into new releases, but i stumbled upon this one a couple of days back and got hooked. I have deliberately stuck to the original low scale of this song, since i havent explored my vocal abilities(?) in this range so far.
Many thanks to Nitin Dubey for helping me make a vocal cut from the original.
Do let know your feedback.

Sai – that was quick. And yes, i plugged in that dialogue from the original (must be Kareena’s voice). Didnt want to experiment so much :-) – all at one go !!
And glad if i didnt sound like i was whispering! Thankyou so much for liking it and rating it a 5.

RN,
Very good rendition !
It is a difficult song with lots of variations.
You have done a marvelous job.
Keep it up !
Shampak Chakravorty said
Very very nice attempt Radhika ji…. I like this song from Kurban…. very off beat kinda song…. You seem to have pulled off the difficult part well i.e., to sing in this scale…. few slips of notes…. apart from that a very good presentation…. 5/5 from me….
Regards,
Shampak.

Radhika – wow. This version has everything: great singing at a tough, low pitch; great feel, great mixing and smart editing to insert the dialogue clip back into the track. I could not make out where the edit was. There is a nice texture in your voice in this song and the whole sound felt very balanced. Kudos!

Thankyou all, i truly appreciate your time for listening in to this experimental attempt of mine and leaving your feedback.
Ibolya – thankyou very much for listening twice and giving me encouraging feedback,the 5 and adding this to your favs. More than the headache, my talking voice now seems to be two octaves lower than normal :-)!!
Thankyou Ramya – Really glad to see your feedback.
Prasad – Thanks. More than the variations the low notes was a challenge for me.
Shampak – thanks a lot for your feedback and rating ita 5 despite its flaws. Agree with you – found the hindustaani bend and the simple orch quite off beat.
Nitin – that feedback on the mix coming from a sound “sound” man like you, sure is encouraging. Thanks a lot again for your help with the track, for your very encouraging feedback and for adding this to your fav.
Thanks Vidya. Glad to see your feedback on my voice at this range and thanks also for rating it a 5 despite the slips. Seem to have gone deaf for now :-) – will check for the slips.
Hey Tara – so nice of you. Thankyou – looking forward to your feedback.

Excellent Radhika ! ang lagaa le – the notes changes starting from 0:57 were beautifully handled without sounding discretized ! Very nice.

Very nice singing a very different song. Not familiar with the original.
You were awesome with those expressions… I felt the low notes could have been much more sharper…sounded a bit of a difficulty in reaching there…
Overall a nice one…

Radhika, You are a pro when it comes to difficult songs. This song is a tough challenge to cover as its very low and to maintain the expressions with such low notes is damn impossible. You did it with a lot of finesse and I absolutely loved it.
This one is my current favorite and I am so glad to hear this in your voice. You completely justified it. Great expressions, great singing and perfect diction is ur forte and you passed with flying colors in this song.
Surely going to my favs:) 5/5 too
Regards,
Rahul

Commendable performance by you. Except for the real low parts, which lacked clarity, your voice stood up to the test you have put it through. Excellent feel throughout. Kudos to you for trying this and presenting it so well.

Thankyou Harry , for that nice and huge compliment and rating this a 5.
Sarada – thankyou for dropping by and leaving your feedback.
Hey Adithi – that was such a nice thing to say.You made my day! Thanks a ton also for adding this to your fav.
Thankyou Srini – will watch those areas.
Thankyou Saroj – that was really encouraging.
Smitha – glad to see that you also are in the “hooked” list and happy that you found my take good. Thankyou.
Venkat – Glad to see your feedback . Thankyou for stopping by, leaving your feedback and rating this a 5.
Sudha – thankyou so much.Always look forward to your feedback. And you must be right – maybe i should have let the song grow on me some more before hitting red. Its been only 3 days since i first heard it and got so hooked that i wanted to give it a go asap.
Rahul – good to have you back on my page after a while. Coming from you, that sure was very encouraging. And you said it – to be honest, with my limited and unexplored ability in this range, i did find it tough to balance the feel for this song. Really glad to see that it turned out decent. Thanks for faving and rating it a 5.
Thankyou v much Kumar – glad that i could almost pull it off. Will have to work on making my voice listen to me at those lowest spots :-)
Kuhoo – good to have you my page and glad to see another fan of this song. Thank you v much for adding this to your fav.

Rajeev Onv(away on a long break) said
Radhika, you have sung this wonderfully well. Though you were a bit ambiguous at the lower notes, still the song was extremely enjoyable. I would like to appreciate your expressions and voice control throughout the song. A good composition-never heard the original. Seems to be close to raag sohini. Those dialogues in between-if that was your voice, I should give you a seperate five for that!
You deserve a five and my fav.
Keep singing!

Hi Radhika – Good song and great attempt. Not your typical stuff. I do agree with Rajeev though on the lower notes. There was something odd there. I also felt your hindi had a little bit of the south indian twang :) After all we are all MELLUS :) 5/5 nonetheless!

Good girl, tough song which requires more concentration and voice modulations. Happy with this, and expect you to improve n singing the lower notes. Expressive, keep it up.
Voice = Good
Expressions = 90%
On the whole you will get 90/100. God Bless
Bala (composer/producer) said
Enna Radhika! I could not believe this is your voice. Totally a different performance from you! Excellent rendition. I liked it a lot. But, I could not enjoy the composition.
By the way, you mixing sounds very good in this. Make a note of the reverb/echo levels you had in this to get a reference for your future renditions. Keep up the good work.

Radhika Nair (away) said
Rajeev – thankyou very much. Your usage of ambiguity made me smile – but i take your feedback well and will work on the strengthening my lower vocal range. Despite the issue, thankyou for liking this, rating this a 5 and adding to your fav. Like Sudha, i too had thought it is Puriya Dhanashree, though the second preeth confused me – but then am not good at identifying the raag from the song. And i would have loved to keep that extra 5 :-), but that will have to go to Kareena for now!!
Thanks for rating this a 5 despite the issues you felt, George.
Nancy – thanks for your time.
And Sowmya – that feedback, coming from the “Reigning Queen of lower vocal range” sure means a lot to me :-). Thankyou.

Nicely done. Very different and you handled it very well. 5 for that. This sounded like poorvi kalyani to me. Whatever the raga is, enjoyed the song.

Radhika….
It’s really very difficult to sing this song which is Hindustani-based and you’ve done a tremendous rendition with lots of feel & expressions !
Your notes were perfect to the core ! Please do not worry about the low registers. As time goes, with continuous practice, you can very well overcome that. Despite that too, you sounded natural & sweet in those low notes.
Hearty Congrats for this outstanding work for which you earn 100% !
Needless to say, this goes to my favourites too !
Cheers !
GOD Bless !
Loving Best Wishes,
TGKC.
