With the massive amount of fan following ARR has, where’s the worth for the phrase ‘lesser known’? But here are 7 songs which could have been overlooked and need to be included in one’s playlist.

POOKUM MALARAI - UDHAYA

Breezy song, with soulful chorus for the film Udhaya. Apparently composed for Mudhalvan, it is the opening song in Vijay's first film with Rahman's composition.

KAN VIZHITHAL - GURU

This song can almost aptly be defined as the magic wand that throws magic upon the romance between Vidya Balan and Madhavan in Guru. Lesser known because it doesn’t feature in the movie’s album

KHATTA MEETA - RAUNAQ

Raunaq is an album comprising of songs composed by A.R.Rahman with lyrics penned by then Member of Parliament Kapil Sibal. Sung by Mohit Chauhan, Khatta Meeta is a peppy number that shouldn’t be missed.

ORU NAAL ORU POZHUTHU - ANTHIMANTHARAI

Swarnalatha’s voice lives on through this song. Mesmerizing composition for the movie Anthimanthaarai.

NAAN YEN - COKE STUDIO

This one is sung by him along with his sister Reihana for Coke Studio. It explores an interesting lyrical theme of existentialism. “Naan yen piranthen” is a magical journey.
