He did do a remix which featured on SDM soundtrack though.
We are indeed discussing on this song brother, and we are aware of the first point you have wrote

The version of Paper Planes thats in the film (as part of the train scene BGM) is the original. I think it was only slightly tweaked by ARR. The "DFA" remix, I'm pretty sure is definitely not by ARR. I don't remember whether it featured in the film either.

I think we can safely say that the credentials regarding Paper Planes in SDM is not clear.
To my ears the one featured in the movie was the original version untouched (apart from editing)
What on earth is this DFA thing. I was thinking maybe it could be an acronym for some sort of genre.
P.S It's nice to have some healthy discussion around here

This should clear up the DFA thing:
The DFA team do just that, swapping the Clash riff for an obese funk bassline. A subliminal Italo-throb keeps the originial's choppy feel, but gives it a much smoother texture.
The first decision any "Paper Planes" remixer has to make is whether or not to keep the signature gun shots and cash registers intact. Those elements are wisely excised here (I mean how can you make it your own if its still got Switch's fingerprints smeared on it?). Their solution is to punctuate each "All I wanna do is..." with a quick laser shot, and then get back to the sweet synth horns and cosmic squiggles. Not heard is the sound of a dozen remixers slapping their foreheads at the sublime obviousness of that decision. They seal the deal by offering up a lazy piano roll as coup de grace. The rub is, though, that the actual narrative weight of Maya's border outlaws is completely lost. Her vocals are just abother DJ face card to be slapped on the table for crowd reaction. But hey, that's the trade-off.

The DFA remix is by 'DFA Records':

Both the versions featured in the film:
the (untouched) original one, during the train scenes
the remixed one, during Taj Mahal sequences

Ow cool, thanks for the info Kumarappa. Don't remember the BGM for that scene. Will have to invest in the DVD when it comes out!
Last song: Sowkiyama - Sangamam. We need another classicly based album like this from ARR.

Thanks for clearing that up.
I didn't notice the remix in the film.
I guess the conclusion is that Rahman did not do the DFA remix.
