Though I agree to the point that he copies ARR style and a few of his compositions, we can't simply blame HJ.
RHTDM failure was nothing to do with HJ. It was not presented properly to Hindi audience. Or they chose a wrong story to be remade. Minnale songs are awesome. No questions! I personally don't like HJ. I like Vidhyasagar & Bhardhwaj songs than HJ. When Ghajini songs were released, I just wanted to hate it without even listening. I loved talking something bad about those songs. But at the end, HJ became the winner. 'Oru Maalai Ila Veyil', is one of my all time favorites. I don't want to comment about Hindi Ghajini. There might be various reasons behind choosing ARR. ARR did 'Kadhalukku Mariyadhai' Hindi version. It did sound good. And Tamil version had its own peculiarity. Many movies go flop in the BO. We can't blame MD for that. 12B, Lesa Lesa had good songs. But they did not well in the BO. As you all know, this is true in case of ARR too. We get frustrated when the movie fails inspite of having good music. Due to this, good songs go unnoticed. Recent eg. SOK. Kankalal Kaithu Sei En Swasa Katre Swades Bose Kannathil Muthamittal What happened in 80s & 90s?. There were only 4 main singers. SPB, Yesudas, Chitra, & Janaki. Arr changed everything after 'Roja'. Now there are so many singers. We get to hear different voices. Think about the amount of singers, players & MDs (Ranjit Barot, Sridhar, Prakash, HJ, Rehana, ...) he has produced. That's what matters a lot. Being a sole winner, does do good for longer duration. So competition is good! BTW, I am happy to see ARR composing Ghajini coz we can get one more good album. If HJ had been chosen, he would have just dubbed Tamil songs to Hindi. But now we can expect an album that's going to be different from the original. So it's good us! More music!

Yes man, this is the perfect reply. Hjs songs were good. But the fact is that he did not have his own style in music. One guy say that if amir select hj for ghajini hindi it would have been a break for him. One question to them, What happened to RHTDM (the hindi version of minnale)? Why couldnt he got break through? Were minnale songs very bad? But the fact is that he copies ARR in his every compositions. Bollywood will never encourage copycats. Hj stole ARRs own style. In my opinion Even if trying for variety tunes sometimes arr should have been done music in his own style. This is my personal opinion. Look IR, many MDs copied his style, but he did every compositions his own style in every time. No one (his copycats) could beat him. This doesnt mean hj beat ARR. What the point i want to express is that ARR must do music in his own style. Critics will call repeatation. Dont worry , we people like it very much. I hope that GHAJINI will be a reply to every one.
