It is quiet obvious that those popular internet medias are not very supportive to ar rahman in the recent times.
in 2004 and 2005, Rediff really celebrated AR's birthday and now they jus conviniently forgot about it. there is no mention about him or his birthday in the site. But they didnt forget to call Anumalik to write a tribute to R.D Burman on his death anniversery and that fool was actually trying to promote himself than really paying the tribute to the legend. he was saying like - like Panchamda, he also is a versatile director who can do scores like Border, Virasat and some other, i dont remember. [actually the songs in virasat are copied from Ilayaraja's composition in tamil movie, esp. Payalein chhum chhum .. i have heard the songs but dont remember the movie name] anyway, this is how media is treating our boss. may be because he does not employ a PR agency to make him popular like most others do. his work speaks better. and we all know that his songs are far better than others which are now ranked Number one in the hit chart.. top ten ? those are some kind of publicity stunt for promoting the music and not based on the facts. thats what i think. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "sunil rao" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Anuj, > > I totally agree with you. Its really very sad that a majority of Indian listener's like music that's stolen from English songs. And songs like 'jhalak dikhlaja' have nothing special in them. I have been a fan of Rahman's for many years now and I have liked his work in all his movies. Those who don't like his work have no taste for good music. I personally loved RDB songs. No other music director as far as I know of has ever composed music that expresses a mother-son relationship (lukka chuppi) or a patriotic song better than AR RAHMAN. So no matter whether his music is in the top or bottom of the chart busters , his music is always the best to me and always special to me.
