ARR got 5.5 crores for it. He is a professional living in a world that trades in money. If he goes on rejecting projects after projects due to the overtones of the minorities of one, how will he earn? It is OK if a few individuals not like a song. After all, he did like Maa Tujhe Salam so he knows ARR's worth. Why are we so much perturbed on him not liking this one? -- rawat > Even if the song is good, there will always > be surround sound talk! > Donate to my NGO at http://www.cradleindia.org <http://www.wiredbeats.com/> > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *From:* live for arr Live <livefor...@yahoo.com> > *To:* arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com > *Sent:* Sun, 29 August, 2010 2:46:52 PM > *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.
