Perhaps he should re think his decisions on doing projects that have a lot of
political overtones. Even if the song is good, there will always be surround
sound talk!

Subject: [arr] V K Malhotra not impressed with Rahman's CWG theme song
New Delhi: A R Rahman's Commonwealth Games theme song has failed to impress
the
CWG Organising Committee's Executive Board member V K Malhotra, who feels the
composition has "fallen short of expectations".
"Oh yaaro, yeh India bula liya", which was launched amid much fanfare by the
Oscar-winning composer yesterday has been given a thumbs down by Malhotra, who
has suggested that the song be reworked.
"This song has fallen short of expectations. We had a expected a better anthem
for the Games from a composer of Rahman's status," Malhotra, also the
vice-president of the Indian Olympic Association, said.
"He has given some very good songs like 'Maa Tujhe Salaam' but this song is not
that impressive. We hope that the song is made better because there is still
some time for the Games," he added.

Rahman sang it in front of a gathering which included Delhi Chief Minister
Sheila Dikshit, her Haryana counterpart Bhupinder Singh Hooda and CWG
Organising
Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi yesterday.
"I feel honoured to get the opportunity to compose the theme song for the
mega-event. It was not an easy task. I had started composing it six months ago
and finished just last night," Rahman said after the launch.
The launch of the theme song had been delayed after the Group of Ministers
overseeing the quadrennial sporting extravaganza asked Rahman to change it a
little bit.
