I certainly agree that A.R.Rahman is a living legend..he is the
greatest..out of all the people who have won oscars, perhaps Rahman
truly deserves it the most. The way he thinks abt music is radical.
But, the albums i mentioned as his lesser works..are indeed his
lesser works....just 1 or two good songs dont make a great
'album'...i mean even in the hindi ghajini..kaise mujhe is a superb
track...slow, haunting and touching..the best on the album..guzarish
is good...but the album as a whole doesnt live up to any sort of
quality its pretty shallow and evidently lacks the rahman touch...so
in my opinion..thats not a 'great' album...one must give credit
where its due..not blindly.
Look guys...im not here to start a heated controversial debate or
anything...neither am i here to try and change anyones opinion. This
is a discussion forum where ppl talk and discuss...its good to know
what others think. Everyone is entitled to his/her own
opinion...thats fine..but thers no point in imposing ones opinion on
anyone...Lets just leave it at that....

Well, ARR is unique, no one can compare to him. If you think that
Doli Saja Ke Rakhna is a disaster, how can you explain my
astonishment on him at the first time I listened to Ta Ram Pum from
Doli Saja Ke Rakhna? Once I listened to that, my heart said, this
guy (the composer) is very much different... here's ARR, he is
different. And about One 2 Ka 4, the two are gorgeous, Sona Nahin Na
Sahih and Khamoshiya Gunguna Ne Lagi... and also Mangal Pandey, it
is awesome... and with greatest singers also. But people can have
their opinion. So, AR is the greatest...
