Maula Mere-Anwar.....Roopkumar Rathod at his best....
When Sreenivasan Jain of NDTV asked A.R Rahman on which were the songs that he liked in the recent times apart from his own he singled out "Maula Mere" from "Anwar". Maybe the song does carry a Rahman touch to it in the rhythm arrangement, melody and overall feel. In fact it could easily be mistaken for an A.R.R number! This beautiful song was created by "Mithoon" a new comer in Bollywood. Anwar has other melodious numbers tuned by "Pankaj Awasthi". But "Maula Mere" sure stirs your soul somewhere! The song has been rendered by "Roop Kumar Rathod" another favourite singer from the A.R.R camp. Roopkumar is better known as the brother of Vinod Kumar Rathod (Playback Singer) and music director Shravan Kumar Rathod (Nadeem-Shravan fame). He has a mellifluous voice deep rooted in classical music which he knows to use effectively. He has been silently here in Bollywood since the 90's but off late has finally got due recognition for his talent and hard work. He is also an accomplished Ghazal Singer, an amazing Tabla player and a music director! His wife "Sonali Rathod" too is an equally good Ghazal Singer.Song: Maula Mere

Very nice rendition Pradipetta and good mixing.
Please consider scanning that article which came in Mathrubhumi and publish it here for those who couldn't read it.
BTW - This song happens to my daughters favourites ...we play it multiple times on long drives :-).
Great song and pretty difficult too.. and you have done a terrific job.
Awesome song and awesome singing once again. am finding it tough to find new words to express my feelings every time i come here.this is one of my alltime favourites.You are true. Roopkumar is an unpraised silent warrior. He really is one of the best in India! Who can forget 'khamosh raat' (arr)and 'venmathiye'(harris jayraj)?
Pradeepetta that was just breathtaking again! Really tough one and you made it sound so easy.You have such a romantic voice. I just love this song and the video.The film is also really good.
Superb! As good as the original. You have a terrific voice. Enjoyed the variations that you added. Also its completely in your own style and you have not imitated the singer.Keep going dude.

This is a film that I wanted to see, once I heard the soundtrack. Its another matter that I never got to see it after all.
My interest has been renewed after listening to your rendition. Thx and simply WOW!
:)

this I would say is the best of the recent renditions by you. Thought the take off 'aankh' and the last stanza 'rakh lun' start off sounded a wee bit different, but I guess those were your variations - sounded great anyway!!
Pradip -
This is the very first time I am hearing this song. Felt great in your voice.. :)
- Sandhya !
Brilliant!!
Very well sung!! Wonderful rendition. Enjoyed every bit of it.
Superb rendition yet again! Your selections are so special and unique everytime. Immensely liked the variations at the end.And wonderful mixing yet again. The track seems original.
come here for the first time.was searching for roop's songs.am amazed by the immense talent and perfection in each song of yours. maula is just breath taking.why are you still not in hindi films?
Mesmerising voice you have got Mr. Pradeep. Am a singer from Delhi and sing for ads other than doing stage shows.Your urdu is very good and amazingly different from the general southies who sing hindi songs.Keep the good work up.This was amazing work.
Wow absolutely mesmerizing!
Pradeep ji,
Great work, once again!!!
I have a question...where would one get the karaoke version of this song, incase one tries to record own version at home?
I did not find the composition great. And I have not heard the original too which I can safely presume would not be very different in quality of rendition since it is you who has rendered.
Pradipji,
Awesome singing!! Loved it!!
Keep it going :)
