And threats like Ghanan's are taken seriously by the US soldiers here: Not only are angry young men harassing and firing on their base intermittently, and running a brisk illegal gun market a mile away, but they're also seen as viable new recruits for anti-American agitators in Iraq and even terrorist groups abroad.

 another subcontinent forums -> Rahman (compared to other music directors)
Consider Lagaan's 'ghanan ghanan' as example - has to be one of the best all-time monsoon songs in a fairly overcrowded genre.
But (there it comes:) the reason I prefer 'ghanan ghanan' is the reason you pointed out - for the polyphonic quality.
Udit and Manna Dey cannot be compared also because in 'ghanan ghanan' Udit does not play the role Manna Dey has in 'lapak jhapak'.

If the Big B were to ask this question on KBC, the ever-so-smart couples will get confused between B and C, well and easily eliminating the other two.

The song is used in a crucial wedding sequence in the West End show.
One of the evening's highlights was the robust energy Shankar Mahadevan brought to his rendition of Ghanan ghanan from Lagaan.
With the added flourishes at the end -- with the sonorous repetition of the word ghanan -- he held the audiences in thrall for over six minutes.

 Planet-Bollywood - Music Review - Lagaan
Combine his music with Javed Akhtar´s command of language and the result cannot be less then shear poetry.
The Kohinoor amongst the gems of this album is "Ghanan Ghanan" and its ode to rain as I mentioned before.
There is a moment in this song where all of the singers - Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, Sukhwinder Singh, Shankar Mahadevan, Shaan, and Kishori Gowariker - throng together in chorus and for that moment you think "it cannot get any better than this".

 Boing Boing: Ghanan gov't shuts down ISPs to keep email from displacing long-distance
Ghanan gov't shuts down ISPs to keep email from displacing long-distance
The Ghanan government has shut down all of the nation's ISPs, claiming that their customers' use of voice-over-IP telephony is depriving the government telephone monopoly of needed revenue.
However, Ghana's phone lines and ISPs cannot acheive dialup speeds much beyond 28.8k, which makes this claim pretty improbable: it's far more plausible that Ghana's drop-off in long-distance calling is a consequence of instant messaging and email replacing phone-calls for the citizenry.

Did you know that Lagaan's chartbuster Ghanan ghanan ghir ghir aaye badra shares a vital relation with the old popular number Ae meri zohar-e-jabeen from Waqt, so memorably picturised on Balraj Sahni?
Raga Piloo has arisen from a mix of musical phrases vital to other ragas like Bhairavi and Bhimpalasi.
Rahman has taken the colourful nature of the raga further and mixed even flavours of other ragas like Sur Malhar to give Ghanan ghanan great musical appeal.

 Indbazaar Movies: Bollywood Movie Reviews - Barsaat Mein... - INDBAZAAR Movies : Bollywood and Hollywood ...
The sight of clouds is reason enough for the people of Champaner to celebrate, in times of a taxing (literally) British Raj.
Taking off from this testing situation, Rahman and Akhtar create Ghanan ghanan, one of the most memorable rain songs this country's cinema has seen.
The victory of Ghanan ghanan lies in that it serves the purpose of introducing and establishing the village, its people, the ambience and the mood, going as far as establishing one of the two central values the film holds in good honour - optimism.

I loved Lagaan’s music for the utter simplicity, Indianness and freshness it came bundled with -- it almost reminded me of ’Desh ki dharti’ sort of songs.
Rain never sounded so exhilarating as it does in ’Ghanan Ghanan’ and love never sounded so innocent as in ’O Rey Chhori’--that’s the magic of Rehman and Javed Akhtar.
Ghanan Ghanan is sung by a plethora of singers namely Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, Sukhwinder Singh, Shankar Mahadevan, Shaan, and Kishori Gowariker and although each of them have a few lines and are more often singing in chorus, the simple feel of waiting and excitement seeing the fl clouds remains intact.
