One is entitled to have his/her own opinions of a particular album. The author may think that HDDCS is the best album or a masterpiece, nevertheless to say that most music connoisseurs will agree that Ismail Darbar's debut soundtrack has never been toppled since its release, is certainly totally debatable. How many times have we really heard about HDDCS being quoted as the best album in India? It's a wonderful album, no doubt and did win the National award for best music director but ARR's Taal, which incidently was released on the same year went on to win the most accolades and swept up all the popular awards that year.
In fact, PB's article seem to be contradicting with their earlier articles...check the one below on 100 Greatest Bollywood Soundtracks Ever http://www.planetbollywood.com/displayArticle.php?id=031407044048 HDDCS is at no 35 and Lagaan at 34. Quotes from PB on HDDCS and Lagaan "...Along with Taal, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was a perfect album to end of the century." "Lagaan is the best musical album so far for this decade. AR Rehman came up with an album that is a winner by all standards." "Lagaan music is truly a masterpiece. No doubt, AR Rehman truly deserves the music awards he got for Lagaan." Maybe the next time around, PB should form a more diligent research on music albums before coming out with such statements. --- On Mon, 9/28/09, Taimur <taimur.nad...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Taimur <taimur.nad...@yahoo.com> Subject: [arr] Re: Anyone agree with this statement from PB?
