It has been a long time since an arr album has crossed a million mark in bollywood. Formerly He hardly used to compose one album and that would fetch him a flimfare award or a national award, on the contrary the year 2004 if not a score brought about a half dozen albums and none of them making a mark in the chartbusters but almost everyone of them got critical acclaim. Films are made for the masses and so is the music and if its not been appreciated by one and all its useless, its okay if everyone's taste differs but the definition of good music in the sense of bollywood is that it should be mesmerizing and arr has badly failed in this department for the last 4 or 5 years, He has produced some of the greatest composition that may satisfy his soul and his fans(including me) but he is not connecting with the masses which he previously used to do (Rangeela, hum se hai muqabla, dil se, taal and many otheres) and that is going to badly hurt him coz in bollywood if you are unable to generate the mullah nobody is going to care for you and your price will automatically come down. Albums like Swades, The Rising, Akbar-Jodha are never going to be hit unless the films become hit which is almost impossible because of their low mass appeal. for the current time arr badly needs another chaiyya chaiyaa to return back to the bollywood and this could only be possible if he returns back to commercial movie.
