• Her accompanying note framed the soundtrack as a celebration of the Navrasa, highlighting how each song channels a distinct classical emotion.
• Fans and colleagues flooded the post with praise and nostalgia, with actor Dia Mirza writing, “Loved you then, love you more now.”
• In an anniversary interview, director Ram Gopal Varma said he did not team up with A. R. Rahman after Rangeela and Daud because Rahman works at his own pace and “you need a lot of patience to work with him.”
