thanx anand that reply belongs to a true rahmanfan. i agree wit you completely.we shudnt waste time by such discussions anymore right??.we are wasting our time and rahmans music is gettin underrated these days which is even made abhijet(singer) to say there are many MDs in india better than rahman. just think, it has been a long time since rahman had a decent hit.we shud be discussin the reasons for this prblm,especially in the tamil industry.a few years back,rahmans music meant sure hit.still no one wud tell his music is borin and we know its still that sharp.its just that he isnt gettin the right film.doing a film like bose which is a sure flop wont do anythin.
