Sath, I agree with you only upto some extent here. Obviously, it hurts when movie doesnt do well on box office. Projects that Rahman takes, music is obviously the positive point of the project, but music gets even higher acclaim and gets on better sales if movie is appreciated. Any movie that doesnt do well, music doesnt get sold as much as it should have been.
In Rahman's case, music is one giant PART of the project. Rahman's music stands out itself. Looking at the list that you posted. SOK, Uyire (Dil Se) - Rahman won filmfare award for best music director for them even though movie didnt do well. hence, movie's performance effects partially in this case. Others movies that you listed there, people know them from Rahman's music, not from actor's performance. Consequently, I would not say "ARR's hard work is wasted" if movie doesnt do well; his hard work will never be wasted as long as he got supporters/fans like you guys :) --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "sath.murthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This has been the nth time that ARR's brilliant score has been wasted by > the directors. i am talking about the sweet cube here.... > How many times will this happen?
