The other day, I was just hearing to some of Pritam's popular songs just becoz ARR recently mentioned his favourite song of Pritam in interview (Tumse Hi). Actually I was bowled over by "Tumse yun milenge" (Ankahi) and "Tumse Hi" (Jab we Met). Those are really simple yet great music by Pritam (and I don't find any plagarism in these songs according to ITWOFS :) ) . I think that's what made Rahman to compose simple and sweet songs like Kabhi Kabhi Aditi and Kahin To. You can trace current trend happening in Bollywood in these songs. And Rahman should atleast compose one such song in each album to get noticed by mass bollywood.
The JTYJN album has already become a hit among College crowd and youngsters, Bollywood actually likes songs with great lyrics, simple orchestration, sweet sound and singers! I think Rahman should follow this trend to get his songs popular among mass audience... Just my opinion, please take it positively. Avnash :)
