Idiot Subhash Jha doesnt know probably that Jodha Akbar is also a
periodic movie and the BOSS is doing music for it.
I dont agree ARR would never do periodic music. Bcos he very well
understand that those are the only wher he can show that he is totally
different from others. I remeber ARR saying that the recent masla
movies doesnt give scope to his experiments.
Dont know why reporters are liars these days

Great..
Too much of
any thing is bad...I guess, ARR's experiment with period films have
reached a saturation point...
I had this
in mind for long but could not utter as I thought that the Man himself
will know much better that we all do.
Let ARR give
himself atleast 3 years from now to get away from period
films....Remember he still has got to do an Album on Bharathiyar's
songs, Marudhanayakam (Don't jump on me...it will happen with ARR
also......in inner concious says), Mahabaratha Trilogy etc..
But for now,
it should be contemporary films..

No more period films for me now!
Urges A R Rahman, currently unhappy with his treatment in Bollywood
Subhash K Jha
Not that A R Rahman sounds bitter. And not that he can afford to,
given his status of one of the leading Asian composers of his times.
But Rahman is rather uncertain about his future in Hindi films.
Reason? "Too many period films in Hindi. Take the case of 1947:
Earth, Zubeida, Lagaan, The Legend Of Bhagat Singh, Water, Bose: The
Forgotten Hero, Kisna among the many. I've worked hard on each of
these themes. But the end-result hasn't been worth it. The songs were
either pushed into the background or not used at all…or worse still,
used badly. I feel very frustrated by this. But what can I do?
Composing tunes is my job. How they are used isn't up to me." Rahman
seems unhappy with the way Subhash Ghai used his track 'Hum hain iss
pal yahan' in Kisna. "Though it was a love ballad it wasn't sung by
the lead pair at all. It was placed in the background. That killed
the song's impact." But the worst experience was Bose: The Forgotten
Hero. "It's become Bose: The Forgotten Music," jokes Rehman. "I had
worked really hard on the music. But it all totaled to zero finally.
But after Zubeida and Bose I'm doing another film with Shyam Benegal.
It's a full-on musical. But please, no more period films for the time
being." Having had his fill of blasts from the past, Rahman is now
looking at a more contemporary kind of music. "All my Hindi
assignments at the moment including Rakesh Mehra's Rang De Basanti
and Abbas Tyrewala's romantic film are contemporary subjects. I'm
quite done with period films for now. I think Mangal Pandey would be
last film of that ilk." Righfully proud of his compositions in the
just-released Mangal Pandey, Rahman reveals how he had been offered
three film about freedom fighters/warriors including Roland Joffe's
The Invaders. "But I finally chose Mangal Pandey. Yeah, the fact that
Aamir Khan was in it did influence my decision. Aamir and I really
gelled well during Lagaan. In fact I'm really proud of my work in
Lagaan and 1947-Earth which also starred Aamir." Going on to speak
about the second part of Deepa Mehta's trilogy, the third part Water
is ready. It's the first project where Rahman has done the songs and
not the background music. "I moved away because of the controversies
surrounding the film. What's the point of creating music for a
project that makes some people unhappy? But I saw Water recently. And
it took my breath away." Has there been anything in Hindi music that
Rahman has liked lately? "Yeah I like M M Kreem's music. His `Jadoo
hai nasha hai' in Jism was a surprise. And I like a couple of
Pakistani songs which have been used in Hindi films like Murder
recently."
* What's the point of creating music for a project that makes some
people unhappy? But I saw Water recently. And it took my breath away
Rahman's problems with Bollywood:
* Gets offered for too many period films (Zubeida, Lagaan, The Legend
Of Bhagat Singh, Water, Bose: The Forgotten Hero, Kisna)
* Subhash Ghai under-played his love ballad 'Hum hain iss pal yahan'
in Kisna by not picturising it on the lead pair
* The producers did not adequately promote the soundtrack of Shyam
Benegal's Bose: The Forgotten Hero. "It's become Bose: The Forgotten
Music," Rahman jokes
