Hi
ARR is a great musician. He can compose any song in any genre mixing his own
style alongwith it to create an identity. He too has a respect for other
musicians and their music. He is a so humble man for he is not going to buy the
judges of the Filmfare to give him awards every year and he has no need to do
so when accounting his success from the very first ROJA. Its really great work
that accounts to.

If they had been biased - wouldn't ARR also have won the "Best
Singer" too?
While I agree that Filmare is more a popular choice award rather
than "the real thing" is some cases - in ARR's case there is no such
question.
Omkara and Taare Zameen Par - both whilst great music albums aren't
something that clicked with the masses in entirety - purely due to
their themes (i mean the movie subject). The movies by itself might
have done wonders but the music ...it was sections of people who
liked sections of the album.
Thats what the difference is with a Guru or a RDB.. Even though I wont
say it was a 100% success with one n all ...it was still much better
received by people. Add to that the movie themes ..again populist
themes ...
Beyond that obviously the repeat quality and the lasting effect. I
don't seem to recall Omkara songs still being played often in
gatherings etc ...I do still hear RDB though ....
Last but not least ...simply speaking ..there is no match to
Rahman ....no comparison and absoutely no doubt that where
stands ...he stands tall ...infact the tallest ...Filmfare
acknowledging it barely stands testimony to that :-))
