With 'Maa', Shankar Mahadevan gives himself another good solo after the title
song 'Taare Zameen Par'. A serene number which just like the title song depends
entirely on the singing and the basic composition instead of arrangements added
on in the recording studio, 'Maa' is a heartfelt track about a child looking at
sharing with his mother his fears, shortcomings and affection for the ones close
to him. With the most simple and yet effective lyrics heard in the album so far,
'Maa' is another superb piece of work after 'Taare Zameen Par' and 'Kholo
Kholo'.
