ARR has also composed songs which were loud and were good. (examaple? many, his earlier youth songs, like muqabla) VB has also composed songs which were subdued and contemplative (Machis - Pani Pani re) so both MDs are capable of giving both and all types of songs. As such, Omkara didn't really have a nautanki situation. It was VB who wisely composed a song having nautanki mahaul so the visuals were made in a nautanki situation. NOw, as for as mayya is concerned, it was exactly the similar situaion -- a professional girl dancing to public, in which various MDs have given Jumma Chumma de de which was loud, and Tezab's ek-do-teen-chaar-paanch-chh which was deafeningly loud. and we all know how popular these went to become. But is was probably the first time when such a subdued, almost at a whispering level, song was composed for such a public dance situation. ARR went against the established "norms" and still came out with a gem, a winner, a piece of art. I was just highlighting that in the same year, two songs composed by ARR and VB show that ARR's creation is miles ahead of VB's creation. I didn't say Bidi was bad song. I did mention that Bidi was a good song and I like that one also a lot. I like VB also, though far-second to ARR. OK, to give credit to VB, let me say that even ARR has never given a song in the genre of VB's Machis - Chhod aaye ham teri galiyaan. That song was complex in the sense that this single song had three songs basically -- a chorus mukdha, then solo stanzas, and then there is a sudden switch to a sad version at Dil Dard Ka Tukda Hai. And the freshness, the spontaneity conveyed by the song, it was just superb and ARR has not given any song like this. -- Back to ARR, which are ARR's song in which there is change of emotions "in between"? Not two different songs or different versions of same song separately shot in a movie, but a same, single continuous song showing two or more emotions, like VB's above song, say sadness and happiness, or anger and calm, or comedy and seriousness? Frankly, I am not able to come up with any single song of ARR that has switched emotions on-the-fly. To clarify, there was the song from movie "Black Mail" MD: KalyanJi AnandJi, "naina mere rang bhare" which starts with a happy note and in the middle switches to sad mode at kajra mera kajra. another one is Sharabi (one of the rare best of Bappi Lahiri) song Intehaa ho gayi intzaar ki which starts with a sad, lost-hope note but when Jayaprada comes it becomes all fun-and-dance at Lo main aa gai. So, has ARR given any such song(s) or has he always remained on "single emotional track"? -- Rawat ------------------------------------ Are you searching for a reason, to be kind? <b> Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.
