these days, people are trying their best to write him off as a pre-oscars wonder. looking at the comments on Youtube and our own media, they are pretending to be unhappy with the song just so they can find one more reason to poke fun at the delays and bad press about CWG
I don't know why but indian media doesn't like people getting famous for the right reasons. May be AR shouldn't compose for events like these.. because these things will inevitably turn into a political blame war. And AR will become the victim of badpress just because he was associated with it. No one will even recognize the hardwork went into making the music.
