Rahman opens the CD with his own vocals in Aazaadi, destined to go down as one of the finest patriotic songs ever written.Rahman's singing brings back the passion of his very own Maa Tujhe Salaam.

Rahman controls the thematic consistency in this number by using the tune of Kadam Kadam as his bass track.Instantly catchy and very inspiring.
...
Diversely different from any of Rahman's earlier thematic pieces, this one oozes with spirit and energy.
Netaji Theme showcases Rahman reinventing himself to reach alternate dimensions as a composer.
...
Stunning vocals in the shorter, second theme exemplify vintage Rahman.

Rahman liberally plays with his brasses and timpanis as the strings help alternate the pacing of the piece between victory and tragedy.

"Bose - The Forgotten Hero" is one of A.R. Rahman's and Javed Akhtar's finest creations.It's lack of mainstream compatibility and item numbers may hinder it from topping tabloid music charts, but that is barely a price to pay for having the distinction of creating musical storytelling of such high caliber.With three creative geniuses (A.R. Rahman, Javed Akhtar, and Shyam Benegal) at work, this quality soundtrack promises a very exciting movie to watch out for.
