Was Lagaan really the best soundtrack of 2001? - Page 2

Without a doubt.Lagaan falls into an elite category of the best and the greatest soundtracks ever, in the company of rich soundtracks like Mughal-E-Azam,Pyaasa,Guide,Madhumati,Pakeezah,Chori Chori,Aandhi.The folk and classical influence in the soundtrack might not be appeal to the 'rock n roll,disco' younger generation.

"Sach Ho Re Sahas Hai Jiske Mann Main Ant Main Jeet Usi Ki Rahe."

While the album may not be the best, but Lagaan has some new sounds and unique fusion of western abd indian classical in a seamless way. The other albums are the same old, same old.......

Obviously in the minority here, but I thought it was a great album and deserved the award. Sure, there were other good albums too, and if one of the other albums listed in the original post had won, it wouldn't have been a bad choice either.

Tum Bin, Kasoor and Zubeida songs (though simpler and with more feels) were way better but I guess Lagaan songs had better background sound/mix of instruments (sorry I don't know the exact technical term). So they were technically superior I suppose. Only Zubeida songs could match the compositions of Lagaan.

My fav is Tum Bin though, Koi fariyad ❤️

K3G & Asoka were Best

Yes there were many great albums that year! Imagine, Bollywood was so rich musically back then. Whatever happened 😵😒

Back to topic, I don’t know whether Lagaan deserved the best award or not but I was and am still in love with it’s songs. Each one was different from the other yet each one was extremely catchy and worth listening to a thousand times.
I still remember the English lyrics from the song O ri chhori so clearly 😆

Tum Bin, Dil chahta hai and a few others are also very superior albums ....golden days. Sigh.

I like the songs from Lagaan over many of those albums. Asoka comes close. Zubeidaa was pretty good.

2001 had a lot of great music albums but Lagaan was definitely the best that year, every song in the album was amazing. It had a great mix from a bhajan to western music to romantic to motivational music.

Definitely one of Rahman's best albums

Kasoor was pure love!! Followed by Tum Bin and Chori Chori chupke chupke...

Even Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat was good.
