Wow!! Everybody in this group is becoming an expert these days... a r should do
this, a r should do that... a r shouldn't do this... a r shouldn't do that...
blah blah blah... every sound he creates is going through a microscope here...
it's really getting painful to read... why can't you guys remember a simple
fact that he too is a human being & may have a few limitations of his own...
even GOD or whoever or whatever that is, is not perfect... so please give him a
break n' try to reduce your complaining about every little thing u don't like
about him or his music & throwing in your invaluable suggestion like u know
better than him...

I agree. The use of cheap mechanical beats instead of the music of
Sivamani or another human percussionist makes what could be excellent
music sound closer to the cheap and tawdry stuff that his rivals
produce. "Tu Meri Dost Hain" could have been an excellent piece but
it isn't. It reminds me of the horrors that people produce when they
add cheap beatbox beats and say they are producing a remix of a
Rahman original. Here Rahman has released what sounds like a cheap
remix, but it is his original piece. I hope he never does that again
and I hope someone can electronically cut out the dreadful beatbox
repetition and let us hear what the original should have sounded like.
If he is turning out half-finished work with cheap beatbox effects
because of what you call the pressure of deadlines and the immense
work load or the absence of assistance, then he should hire more
assistants or take on fewer assignments rather than compromise the
quality of his music.
